Thomasville Tomme, a cow's-milk cheese produced in southern Georgia, is available on the dairy's site for $7.50 per half-pound.

The Food Network sells it too... for $16.99 per half pound.

Seriously, guys? More than 100% markup on something you almost certainly drop-ship anyway? Man, I'm in the wrong business...



It's tasty though—I've had some at local markets.

I made Alton Brown's Fondue Vudu for dinner tonight. There was somewhat more broccoli, potatoes, pumpernickel and sourdough than required, so next time we shall have to double the cheese recipe and invite guests. Also, the fondue was fairly mild despite the raw-milk gruyere and gouda, so I think I'll have to use plain old swiss and cheddar next time. I'll save the raw-milk cheeses for eating cold in thin slices.

Jodi watched the Bullshit! episode about the Boy Scouts and the Good Eats show about fondue. I am slowly converting her into an Alton Brown fan. Muhahaha.

I bet that'll be a pull quote in some bored editor's back pages.

Tomato-mozzarella-onion-basil salad from Costco for about $4/lb. Pretty darn sweet. Even included little containers of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I bought a 2lb tray and will enjoy it for several days' lunches.

Also got a six-pack of rice cracker packages (tasty and dippable) and some foodservice-sized Boca burgers (50¢ each) and sliced cheddar cheese. I should be eating healthy stuff at the office for a while! Woo woo!
