Thanks Matt! Just bit into the fresh lightly salted mozzarella my local Italian shop makes daily. Though I've been going through an aged cheese phase recently...

Cheese is wonderful. Unfortunately I just ran out. Ah well, have to watch my diet a bit anyway.

One of the joys of having given up carbs is that I can eat whatever cheese I want with seeming impunity!
