RH> Same here. Our local Pizza Hut downsized into a drive thru during the

RH> rice and a fruit cup with mine; Steve had fried plantains and black
RH> beans. We will be making at least one, if not more, return visits to

We went to a Caribbean restaurant a long time ago.  Our opinion is about
the same as yours -- plentiful good food.  The one we went to was quite a
drive from our Columbia house or we would have made repeat visits.

DD> Depends on your usage. The individual wrapping extends the shelf life

RH> Wrap it in a seal-a-meal type bag; we found that cheese doesn't mold

We use one of those regularly for cheeses and sandwich meats.  The one we
had sort of gave up the ghost a while back.  It could barely reseal one
bag before its charge gave out.  The new one we bought claims to be able
to do sixty bags on a charge.

DD> My personal preference in cheese leans toward the strongly flavoured

RH> I'll take them in small amounts; my favorite are a well aged cheddar

Same here.  We also like a "cheese food" spread that has a pretty good
cheddar flavor.
