I put cheese on everything. I even put cheese on my cheese.
The only thing that makes me happier than cheese is portion-controlled cheese in cute packaging, hence my excitement over two recent Sam's Club (5600 Landers Road, North Little Rock) discoveries:
Wensleydale Mini Cheese Selection (statistics vary by flavor; each piece contains 70 to 80 calories and 5 fat, 3 carbohydrate, zero fiber and 4 protein grams; sold in bags of 12): Mini wheels of fruit-flavored -- Strawberry & Peach, Raspberry & Apricot, Pineapple & Mango -- British crumbly cheese are as palatable as they are pretty. They'd be picnic-perfect with fruit, nuts and wine.
MontChevre Mini Goat Cheese Trio (statistics vary by flavor; 1 ounce contains 70 to 80 calories and 5 fat, 1-4 carbohydrate and 4-5 protein grams): Each gingham box holds three 4-ounce logs of soft, smooth goat cheese -- Natural, Blueberry Vanilla and Savory Pepper -- that can be spread on bread or used to add spirit to summer salads.
