I love my in-laws dearly. Not just because they raised the man I was to marry, but also because they bring me cheese whenever they visit from Spain. This trip I was lucky enough to receive two wheels of Manchego, the most famous artisan cheese from Spain. One wheel was the standard “curado” or cured version (pictured on the right), while the other was the “semi-curado” or less aged (left).
click to enlarge:
Manchego is made from the milk of the Manchega sheep, in the central region of La Mancha (also home of Don Quixote). Sheep’s milk is incredibly rich and good for you, and true Manchego cheese is a complex and divine experience in both the semi-cured and cured forms. Nutty, grassy with a hint of crushed olives, it is perfect with an Albarino wine or a fruity Pinot Noir.
You can buy great examples of this cheese at the new Spanish specialty food shop Despaña (408 Broome Street/Lafayette). Pick up a cured ham while you are at it and munch through some jamón y queso next time you crave a taste of the Mediterranean. Olé…!
Note: Look for the D.O. symbol of authenticity to make sure you are getting the real deal.
It sounds lovely. Sheep's milk is really good when it comes to cheeses. And I'm sure a lot of people would agree to that, and for those who haven't tried it yet, I suggest that you do.

I cannot bear to imagine any reluctance on his side; but I am sure there is a great wish on the Churchills to keep him to themselves. There is jealousy.

Yes; and every delay makes one more apprehensive of other delays. Even if this family, the Braithwaites, are put off, I am still afraid that some excuse may be found for disappointing us.

I am sorry for it. The introduction must be unpleasant, whenever it takes place; and the sooner it could be over the better.''

herefore, it must not surprise you to hear that I wasn't in Instances Square to look at the ball drop at midnight on New Year’s Eve of 2010 (or, for that matter, any other year heading again to 1969). Nonetheless, I remembered that my go to to Instances Square in early afternoon of Dec 31, 2009 had been fairly exciting, and considering that the weather conditionsforecasters have been predicting mild, primarily-sunny skies this calendar year, I believed it will be interesting to test it once again.
