Today was so beautiful that we played tennis all afternoon. Today, it’s @LadyDucks’s fault that I’m flying high from my extra huge martooni. . Here’s cheers and bottoms up, Anna. We will soon get together and enjoy our martinis together in person. Hope your Friday date night was superb! Thank you Marie @Tampa_girl7 for your beautiful card. It made me tear up and I love it. Back to the Spanish cheese. I bought 3 varieties for Friday date night: Manchego, Queso de Cabra, and Iberico. Ick! I’m not a fan. Hubs would not touch them. I guess we will have a very cheesy macaroni and cheese dish tomorrow. Anyway, I am a bit too happy tonight. I shall see you all ASPCA or ASAP.

@DianneN How did your mac and cheese turn out with those cheeses? I hate spending money on food that we end up not liking after the first taste - but it happens. You are too funny . I can't drink on an empty stomach!!

Thank you! Hubs is watching The Blacklist right now. I decided I can't stand it anymore. I like brie and truffle cheese. I shouldn't judge the Spanish cheeses, since I only had one of the three. I was flying before, but I think I have settled down after putting food in my stomach.. That's why hubs is so stingy with the martoonis for me.

They aren't smelly, just not tasty except for the manchego. It was okay. They went well grated into my macaroni and cheese.

Thanks for mentioning Dianne, I had an excellent Martini night and I am sure you too. The only one I like is the Queso Manchego and only one specific brand, I do not like the others two.

@DianneN Brie and Camembert are the kind of cheese I cannot eat, but I did last Tuesday night and I am still sick today.

So neither of you liked any of those three? What makes you think they'll work in mac n cheese then? Maybe with some spicy seasoning.

I like the Manchego when I tried it. I've had those cheeses in Spain and S. America, but they weren't as good as I remembered. lol I grated them and mixed them in with many other cheeses and other things including jalapenos. Delish!
