Day 464 : How to Save/How to Splurge Dispatch #15

  

This has not been a good week for me being on time with my blog posts and for that I apologize -- I surely had an unexpected evening visit to the dentist last night but that provides me with the opportunity to play catch up now on last night's blog.

Where to for this week's "How to Save/How to Splurge" dispatch? How about to Westside Market on 14th and 7th avenue?

Each week, they feature a different cheddar, swiss, and a "Pete's choice of cheese" (whom I imagine runs the cheese department there) on sale along with a few other cheeses on sale. This sale system provides you the opportunity to try a variety of different, straight forward cheese styles at affordable prices for you and your friends. This week, the cheddar clocked in at $6.99 a pound, the swiss at $10.99, and Pete's choice at $11.99 a pound.

Apart from these weekly special routines, this week that had a special on Monte Enebro -- a flat log shaped Spanish goat's milk cheese from the Castilla y Leon region. During the cheese's aging process, the rind has been coated with ash and blue mold instilling a blue cheese style kick and a fabulously spicy pungent twist. The cream line separating the lactic, citrusy, bright interior, is gooey and luscious with farmsteady, barnyardy, walnut notes. Overall a delish cheese.

Clocking in at $11.99 a pound on sale as opposed to say $30.99 a pound at Murray's Cheese, a visit to Westside Market is definitely in order this week.
