Sin Big

A certain lunching compatriot of mine recently said, "If you're going to sin, sin big."

For the most part, I've tried to live by this philosophy.  If you're going to eat chocolate, eat good chocolate.  If you're having cake, don't have some low-fat, sugar-free monstrosity.  You might as well eat broccoli or something else that's actually good for you, if you're going to indulge half-way.

Today, this last Saturday before my life descends into chaos for the next month, I figured I'd go all out.

I love cheese toast, as I've posted about before.  Good Cuban bread or baguette, slathered with butter, and grilled around some nice cheese.  I took it a step further today, because our local grocery co-op had my favorite cheese on sale.

Instead of cheddar or American cheese, today's cheese toast contains Fromager d'Affinois.

This cheese rocks my world.  It's a double cream soft cheese, like brie or camembert, but richer.  30% milk fat.
So that's fresh baguette, real butter, and thinly sliced, heavenly cheese, grilled slowly under a heavy cast iron skillet until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melty.
Sin big, my people.
