Saturday we took a trip to Costco to stock on up frozen food, and household staples. We went around lunchtime, I having the bright idea that we could make a free lunch out of the samples. (They give out tons of samples at our local Costco - great for keeping the kids busy while we shop)
One of the samples they were offering was strangely enough Ratatouille cheese. It was delicious so into the cart went a nice big piece of it.
Well... upon further research, this Disney Pixar branded cheese (from the movie ratatouille) is in actuality a French cheese from the Alps region called Abondance. To me it tastes like a combination of brie and gruyere. It is creamy like brie, but harder and more flavorful. It doesn't even need crackers. YUM.
Tonight I enjoyed my cheesy snack with a small glass of Cles des Ducs armagnac. Just about the very last of the bottle we bought while on the cruise.
Ahh...now I am ready to lay down and enjoy a good nights sleep.
