It works quite well in applications where you're melting it, or even
getting it really warm. It's convenient, and is also sometimes REALLY
cheap. Oh, John, up until closing on Monday, Dierberg's has 4oz.
cow's milk feta for $1.
Speaking of cheese, I seriously like the Palermo's frozen pizzas:

It's about the best pizza you can buy in St. Louis. Since The First
Federal Frank & Crust Co. went out of business, I haven't found a
great NY style anywhere in StL.
