Blue cheese: Ranson Blue, aged cow's milk with streaks of blue
Frozen yogurt: Creme Caramel

More Jimmy's No. 43! (I swear to you, I'm not obsessed; just a creature of habit who likes really good food.) Natalia and I had a girl's night out last night as both of our boyfriends were out of town. We split the cheese plate of Ranson Blue from Cato Corner Farm, the tang of which nicely balanced my delightfully unexpectedly spicy goulash (which I really ordered just for the buttered spaeztle).
While we nibbled cheese and sipped our beers, we also blew off some steam about our boyfriends (naturally).
No 1. gripe: our skinny boyfriends won't eat ice cream.
Jesse and I have actually had a minor tiff about this (if you can image fighting over ice cream). I eat fairly healthy, but I love ice cream. And I also don't believe in denying yourself the good things in life, like ice cream. Jesse, on the other hand, is obsessively healthy. Goes to the gym. Does martial arts. Vegetarian. And most nights, when I'm raiding the freezer for a dish of the good stuff, he begs off because he'd rather eat cottage cheese.
Non-fat cottage cheese.
With protein powder.
Which, of course, makes me feel like a great, big, fat pig.
So I was relieved to hear that Natalia has the same problem with her boyfriend. Clearly, we're not crazy, but obviously our boyfriends are. Equally obvious, is that they should man up when we open the freezer and eat the damn ice cream with us, and thereby spare us the guilt.
Anyway, I was feeling righteously absolved after dinner with Natalia, so I went home and finished off the pint of Stonyfield Low Fat Creme Caramel Frozen Yogurt.
So there.

Hey, you.
Just because some of us have an unhealthy love of cottage cheese doesn't mean that there's anything WRONG with us. It's still dairy. And given the subject of -this- blog, I don't really know that you're in a position to call me out! ;)
'sides, I'm onto ricotta now.
And while we're at it:
Too much info
Cottage Chesse vs. Ricotta Chesse. As a comparison of casein vs. whey protein and release & absorption.

Leave Jesse alone. I understand what he is going through, looking in the mirror after eating that bowl of ice cream only to see the fat horrible person you have become! Or... maybe not.
Ok...when you you guys come down for Christmas instead of driving up to Santa Fe, drive down to Socorro. We will strap him down and shove double fudge brownie ice cream down his throat....Then keep him from weight equipment for the entire week. *evil grin
