Cheap Girl, our favorite neighborhood artist, reminded us about Cowgirl Creamery's cheese library. As a cheese eater with a library degree, I have a somewhat prurient interest in this library of cheese.
We live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Actually, I take that back: we live in San Francisco. I'll specify so you don't think we live in Tiburon or Pittsburg (shiver).
Finally out here, I feel as if I've found my food people. Every other place I've lived, I have been the most obnoxiously picky food person in town. Here we have cheese counters where you can samples dozens before making a purchase. There's even one (in Berkeley) where you have to queue up and get a ticket.
My favorite cheese is Vermont Shepherd, and I never would have found it had the cheese educator at Cowgirl not given me seven free samples before I found this, the most perfect cheese ever, which is only made from May through October when sheep graze on minty clover.

Did someone say clover?!
Indeed.
In fact, one of these days, I'll dine on clover-scented cheese while writing out a clover-embossed Mrs John Strong note card and considering my next wishbone clover post, AND MY HEAD WILL EXPLODE.
