Yancy's Fancy: Not bad for a Green Cheese...

This New York’s Artisan Cheese was a delight to try.

It takes me back to the times my brother and I tried to out do each other by putting the most wasabi on our food before we ate it.

Jenny: “Mild and creamy cheese mixed with a tang of wasabi - makes for a delightful combination”

Jerry: “Yeah, I’d agree with that. Also goes well with green tea”

Chris: <<Chris didn’t come over tonight - hope he’s OK after the BoonaRoo wine tasting last night>>

I also tried it with a few different crackers; triscuits and wheat thins, and a gluten free cracker (Jenny is Gluten intolerant)

Try it solo, or with a variety of crackers, this is good stuff

They all did well. In fact, in true “frugal connoisseur fashion” we both decided that a nice cracker with a light spread of wasabi paste and some mild cheese would pair nicely in comparison to this light-green colored cheese. But this would be the way to go if you are looking for a novelty to serve at your next party.

I even found it to go rather nicely with some Mighty Leaf green tea both solo and on crackers.

Cheesecake. That’s saying a LOT. We have cravings for all kinds of cheesecakes.

Hmmm, according to the collective brain of wikipedia:

“Cato the Elder’s De Agri Cultura includes recipes for two cakes for religious uses: libum and placenta.^[5] Of the two placenta is most like modern cheesecakes having a crust that is separately prepared and baked.^[6]

Records of the Countess of Leicester mention “cheese for tarts” in 1265; the earliest English recipe is found in the Forme of Cury (14th century)”

So, for a few centuries, they’ve been cooking away at this stuff (well some didn’t cook it). But thanks to our ancestors, I’ve been able to scour the web to find over 80 Cheesecake Recipes. And you can get them at a slight fee (usually $49.00 for the ebook). On THIS blog the fee is signing my guest list.  That’s it!

Original Blend UCC Coffee w/Milk
11.3 Fl Oz

First impression: regular coffee sweetened w/sugar (equivalent to a couple of artificial sweeteners and a liberal amount of cream).

This coffee, at first sip, was pretty yummy.  There were no fancy flavorings added to it - it was just straight coffee w/cream and sugar.  Being the person that I am I liked the simplicity of it.

What I liked most about it was that it didn’t have too bad of an aftertaste (a real irritating side effect of most coffee), and it didn’t leave that nasty slime on the back of my tongue like most heavily sugared and creamed coffee (very important).  It went down smooth, and each sip was tasty.

Overall I give Original Blend UCC Coffee with Milk 4 our of five beans!

Safe sipping!
