Frozen Cheese will do in a pinch. This is one of my favorite kinds of frozen cheese to turn into melted cheeze. For some reason, it is inconsistent. Sometimes it hits the perfect consistency: stringy, chewy, meaty. Other times, it just doesn’t quite come together. What, like the cosmic rays have to be right along with the microwave?
Veek and Tubaman’s brunch a couple of Sundays ago included make-your-own crepes. Mine had carmelized onions, mushrooms, and a heavenly cheddar sauce poured from a small pitcher.
When elected President, I’ll mandate by executive order that every table in the nation must include a pitcher of Veek’s sauce.
I couldn’t believe how slow… and how good!
Camped in a wonderful place outside Willits, CA last weekend with a hundred or so friends.
I was ill with a stomach bug, foregoing food much of the trip. Monday morning I felt like I could finally keep something down.
Still had fixings for a few dozen grilled cheese sandwiches originally intended to spring on unsuspecting folks relaxing in a wood-fired hot tub.
Wasn’t up for making them now, either.
My friend Tim came to the rescue.
I had no idea he was such a grilled cheese expert… (more…)
Well, they have a point.
Tim Ferriss points out that this could feed ten Victoria’s Secret models for a week.
He’s only exaggerating slightly.

You know, the thing is, after you have the first one or two of these fries dripping in melted cheese and dipped in ranch, do you really need to eat any more from the tray? But I’ll keep eating until it’s gone. If only I could get Tim’s Victoria’s Secret supermodels to bring me this whole thing on a platter and then carry it away after I’ve had a taste of heaven!
I’ve never been to Outback Steakhouse. Anyone want to go and share some Aussie Cheese Fries?
In lingerie?
[Also notable melted cheese from the Men's Health 20 Worst Foods in America... #3: On the Border Stacked Border Nachos and #5: Uno Chicago Grill Chicago Classic Deep Dish Pizza. "Downing this "personal" pizza is equivalent to eating 18 slices of Domino's Crunchy Thin Crust cheese pizza." I wonder how that compares with Little Star?]
A friend works as an Interactive Strategist and just started at a new agency. She’s their first full-time hire in analytics and strategy, so she has a lot of catching up to do.
Today we caught up over lunch at Hotel Utah on 4th and Bryant, close to both our offices.
Much of her focus will be on clients Electronic Arts and Boost Mobile. Her agency has an established Account Planning function, so the qualitative work is already there. They’re transitioning the quantitative in-house over time while bolstering it. Developing the insight sounds really interesting to me, but I wonder if it would be interesting doing the research.
Anyway, about the cheese…. (more…)
