A gift box from Brennan's in Wisconsin. It arrived last week full off some of the best cheese I've ever had. The cheese was a gift from Professor Smith of Conglomerate for my help in moving his blog from MT to TypePad. (There are still a few bugs to iron out, but the move is mostly complete, I think.) Did I mention how tasty this cheese is? The box contained the best sharp cheddar I've ever tasted, I think—it was aged 4 years, which I'm guessing makes for a much better cheese. The gouda was also absolutely delicious—best all by itself, w/out crackers or anything. The baby swiss was the workhorse in the box, the basic cheese that's good w/just about anything. And finally there was the cranberry cheddar (above right), which we're saving for a special treat. Thanks, Professor Smith!
