Everything about Valentine’s Day screams “hearts” – they
are all over the place, splashed on every card and gift intended to convey the subtle
expression of love. But why, oh why, did the heart-lovers have to mess with
cheese? I never understood this idea, and am even more perplexed in realizing
this is probably a fairly old thing. According to my sources, the heart-shaped
cheese hails from France. The French are pretty traditional about their food,
especially cheese, which leads me to believe this notion has been around for a
while. I can only imagine, a century ago, a lonely French cheesemaker pining
for the lovely maiden that frequents his cheese shop. Unable to summon the
courage to tell her how he feels, he whips up a heart-shaped Camembert and
presents it to her, hoping his intention is loud and clear. Ah, l’amour. I personally have never tried a heart-shaped
cheese. But for those of you willing to take the plunge, there is plenty to
chose from: Coeur de Berry, Coeur d’Arras, Coeur d’Avesnes and a few American
versions as well. Remember, you can always get out your heart-shaped cookie
cutter and take it to any cheese you like (maybe you’ll get points for being
creative too).
Surely one of the nicest occasions every year, I always look forward to it. It's the day where we can show our loved ones how much we love them, it doesn't get any better than that.

My solution at the time was to roll up my sleeves and grate away, seal the grated cheese in a zip-loc bag, and toss it into the freezer. When I came to use it in cooking a week or so later I would tell myself that everything was fine, but really both the cheese and I were crying inside. The cheese was dead, and there was no saving it.

Believe me when I say that you'll be tinkering with your lineup so much that you'll hardly recognize your own team by the time the playoffs roll around!
