The produce section announced the availability of fresh truffles. The freezer had a great selection of gelatos and sorbets. The bakery had some pretty nice looking cakes. But all of this was erased from my memory when I got to the cheese section at the back of the aptly named Formaggio Kitchen. Cheese is where the heart (and heart trouble!) is. It was a kind of Cheese Universe contest, only without the Donald. I blushed and didn’t know where to look with so much milky pulchritude around me. I finally plucked up my courage and asked for a few nibbles. Picked up a couple of bottles of good but overpriced wine as a go with. Luckily Formaggio Kitchen is not in Brookline. The transactions costs of getting there will protect my waistline.

Conflict and Cooperation: Competitive Fartlek in Spinning « Cheap Talk
[…] trying to lose the extra Robiola-weight I acquired last year by all too frequent visits to Formaggio Kitchen. Jogging is boring and it is too cold for cycling so I have started to attend spinning classes. […]
