I am a prolific consumer of leftover food. Leftovers or not, every other day or so my dinners usually consist of many small servings of very different things.
Take tonight’s meal: roast pork loin and fried rice, which the family—except myself; I was preoccupied—had for lunch; shrimp wonton soup, freshly nuked from the freezer; and sushi I picked up from Safeway. I put away the pork loin quite quickly; but as the morsels dwindle in number the conflict I am faced with is simply, with which dish would I grace my palate for the last bite?
Tonight I picked the sushi. Is there anyone out there who even has meals with this kind of lucidity?

I’ve had a love-hate relationship with brie for a while now, vacillating between brands that make me go “yum,” to the ones that induce a gag reflex. In my general obsessive-compulsive fashion, I have spent so many midnight snacks trying to find a brie that evokes the words that I have read about it.
I may have met the brie I want from President, which they sell at Costco (in Costco-size portions, natch!). It’s a very mild cheese without the reek of ammonia that I got from the first few little samples of brie that I got from both the local supermarket and whole foods.
This is really good cheese. Nor do I find myself adulterating it in any way, with brown sugar or fruit or jam or whatever. However, my midnight snack involves brie, dark chocolate, and some white wine. What a way to end a night.
