But, you consume more meat at one meal than many of us eat in a week.
Cheese is a regular part of our diet here. It goes into and on
various cooked dishes. We also eat it on sandwiches and crackers. I
currently have 6 different kinds of cheese in my refrigerator a total
of maybe 12-13 pounds. Some aren't used very often like pecorino
romano and parmesan. Colby Jack and Pepper Jack are used most every
day at least once. Swiss (pardon, that's the way it is labeled here)
maybe a couple times a week. Other stuff like blue or cambozola
travel through here in less than a week.
