If there’s one thing you know about me, it might be that I love cheese. People often tell me that they love my recipes because they involve so much cheese… what? Really? Apparently a normal amount of cheese to me is a lot to other people. Whoops.
Anyway, when the Gouda Cheese Shop asked if I’d like to try some of their cheeses, you can imagine how long it took me to say yes (I think I got keyboard-burn on my fingers). I loved the look of their site – it’s a cheese delivery service!! Let me reiterate: cheese, delivered straight to your door. You literally only need to walk to your front door before returning to your sofa to eat your block of cheese. Now if only someone would start a chocolate delivery service, I’d be set for life…
