Parmesan Cheese

At the risk of sounding like a food snob, I have to discuss Parmesan cheese. Parmigiano. Parmigiano Reggiano, to be specific. Hear me now. I'm not opposed to the green can. The bag is better - more melty. But if you have an extra $10 to spend, buy a pound of the real deal. That's what I paid at Sam's for a big hunk. One pound. It keeps till July. I think I will use it all. Come to think of it, it's probably cheaper than the bag, and maybe the green can. There's labor involved, though. But it's nice. It smells so good and it feels amazing. Of course, taste is a consideration - you'll have to judge for yourself.

I used this special ingredient in my Chicken Parmesan. It really does come from Italy, not China. That's where the Reggiano comes in.

That's all I have to say about cheese tonight. It's one of my favorite foods, so more will follow, I'm sure.
