Appleby’s

I’m sorry for the lack of update but I’ve been busy with work and school.

I did get to go to Appleby’s yesterday and try their 3 course meal which starts at $9.99.  I had the Mozzarella Cheese Sticks, Mozzarella and Chicken Alfredo over Penne and Key Lime Pie for dessert with a Mojito.  All together it was pretty standard fair for a chain restaurant like Appleby’s but I loved their Key Lime Pie, it was not too sweet and maintained the perfect level of tartness, even the portion was perfect.  If you didn’t know Appleby’s does dessert shooters which are served in large shot glasses.

Cheese

 

I love cheese, I really do. I suppose this is would be obvious if you could look in my fridge, I always have at least 3 kinds of cheese and I consider them to be staples on my shopping list. I also usually have a variety of special cheeses. One of the things I love about cheese is that it’s not that hard to try different kinds, especially here in Bakersfield. Just about any grocery now stocks a half dozen kinds of Mexican cheese from Oaxaca to Panela.

In the past year I have tried Oaxaca, Panela, Gouda, Fontina, Bleu, Feta, Brie, Camembert, and Edam. I haven’t enjoyed all of them but it has been an experience for the better.

Happy Cheese Tasting!
