all the right molds
This afternoon I discovered Tomme Crayeuse cheese at Del Ray, Alexandria’s Cheesetique, my favorite cheese shop on this coast, where staff apparently refers to this thing of beauty as “Tom Cruise.”
My friend Laura texted earlier from North Carolina, her current location on a roadtrip across these Unites States, and as she unapologetically perseveres in her Tom Cruise obsession (evidence: Laura and Tom), I had to roadtest this cheese for her.
Verdict: about the intensity I’d jump on a couch for. What’s your favorite cheese right now?

In truth, I’m not a huge fan of cheese, so I tend to gravitate towards the milder, well-known ones like brie and Camembert. (Ashley refers to brie as “the poor man’s specialty cheese”.)
That said, I would totally go to a store called “Cheesetique” with you and learn about the wonderful world of dairy products.

Laura, safe travels onward! I so wish I could join you on the road, and we missed you tonight at dinner.
Mica, Cheesetique awaits the next time you visit (drive from Richmond!) with, wait for it, an enticing grilled cheese/wine bar. It’s all happening in Del Ray…

I’ve always liked Tom Cruise’s acting and his looks. I even had a dream about him one time. I think he likes being a father, he always has a big smile on his face when he’s with his kids.
