cheesy goodness

i can't let may go without a tribute to fromage. and not just any fromage, but cheese from france. (goats and sheep and cows, oh my!) for st. honore's day, said bakery had the following samples: camembert le pommier (normandie), munster gerome (alsace), caprifeuille (loire valley), delice de bourgogne (bourgogne), agour brique (basque), and fourme d'ambert (auvergne). and all on ONE PLATE. i know, it's almost too good to be true. as i wipe the drool from my chin, who is st. honore, you may ask? he, honoratus (d. 600 AD), is none other than the patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs. where else could such aged culture (i.e. mold) become such a spiritual experience? pass the crackers and fig sauce, please...
