How do you feel about flavored cheese?

I thought of these posts as I enjoyed a cheddar with cranberries and chipotles.

Ugh, I hate flavored coffees. Anyone want to join me in another peeve? Flavored potato chips. Salt, maybe pepper--that's all a good potato needs.

Nor can I stand flavored coffees. I worked in a coffee shop a long time ago and used to go home smelling like a big hazelnut. Has it ever happened to you where you are someone's houseguest and you wake up to the smell of Amaretto, or Holiday Spice? Or the only "cream" they have is Irish Mist? Groan....It's going to be a long stay.

Regarding flavored potato chips, I often get a wicked jones for vinegar and sea salt. Other than that, I don't deviate. My favorite are actually Cape Cod "lower fat." They are perfect in my book.

I think I have posted this before but for a definitive word on flavored coffees, check out this YouTube episode from Denis Leary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQxgv4QtKM8 Or Google "denis leary coffee." Keep the kiddies away from the PC while listening/watching.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

A little off topic, but at bridge the other night our hostess put out some wasabi almonds. Talk about addictive! They were terrific.

Did she make them, or were they store-bought?

Sorry I missed this until now. They are the Blue Diamond--same ones Mike says are "ridiculously addictive." He's so right.
