[pct-l] Cheese experiments

[Edward Anderson]

Nikii,
Costco, at least the Costco in Santa Clarita, has the BabyBel's in only one of 
the three flavors.  Most Supermarkets have all three.  I buy the one at Costco 
(better price) and the other two at a Supermarket.

I remember you posting that before.  I like those cheeses because they're small 
and mild.  I can eat them on the run, like when I forget to eat breakfast and 
I'm running late for an appointment.  I'm planning to do a major costco run 
before I leave for the trial.  I looked online and after Bend, there doesn't 
appeat to be a Costco nearby.  Portland's the closest for Cascade Locks and then 
after than they're only on the I-5 corridor in Washington - unless you're in 
Eastern Washington...

I stored my Baby Bel cheeses in double Zip Loc bags inside OpSaks. Some were 
stored that way for up to three months. No problems. Only got a little mold if 
they were crushed. Then just trimmed mold part off.
