Green, Yellow and White

I walked through a typical grocery store produce aisle the other day and realized that I had tried almost all of them. That is either a pretty good feat or an indication that our grocery store has a limited selection. I choose to believe the former.

So I decided to peek at the cheese counter although I am on what I refer to as a dairy light diet. I would probably do better to be on a dairy free diet, but what can I say? I love cheese. So I try to be judicious about amounts and frequency and then listen to my body.

I chose something called Asadero, which was milky colored and mild and --I'm sorry Asadero makers--rather boring. I also picked a French Mimolette which was much more interesting. A medium sharp flavor that went well with one of my all time favorite red wines, Menage a Trois. Don't be fooled by the risque name, this is a wine you can drink in public.

Tonight I will experiment with mustard greens. I'm thinking of caramelizing some onion, then wilting or sauteing the greens. And a dash of kosher salt, then taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
