What a Cook Wants, 3

.
More Exquisite Cheese

There is a lady named Sally Jackson who lives on a 140-acre farm in the Okanogan Highlands, which are in the eastern part of Washington state. She and her husband Roger have been making cheese from the sheep, goats and a Brown Swiss and two Guernsey cows they raise. American artisanal cheese making has exploded in the last decade, and these days it's a bit of a foodie race to find the newest, loveliest specimens.
At the end of an astonishing meal at Providence, I had the pleasure of a slice of Sally Jackson's chestnut leaf-wrapped raw cow's milk cheese. It was semi-soft, the color of Irish butter and complex with a mere hint of funk. I wanted to cry, but I was too happy. You could serve this to most folks, it's not too intense and really pleasing, and totally wow your foodie-est friends.
Sally Jackson Chestnut Leaf Aged Cow Cheese. They don't make it until you order it, heaven.

Hey Tory,

Is there any way that you can walk away from this divorce with some dignity? Please sign the papers so I can pay you. This is going into month 9. Your lawyer is a liar and an asshole and I don't trust her. We have to end this but you are dragging this out into month 9 and it is ridiculous.

Please show some self respect and let's get this over with.

Can we please just be divorced?

Adam
