    heh heh. i think they meant to put “COLD” cheese… to keep it from becoming a gummy mess b4 you get to bake it. =] (the cold keeps the oils from separating from the cheese & gopping up your recipe).

    Mmm, gotta love cheese! Near me we have a market that sells organic everything and has GREAT cheese. I could probably get some there to make this! For those who don’t know, “old” cheese is cheese that has been aged to have a stronger taste. It’s not moldy or anything. That’s why it can be really expensive, because it takes years for it to age.

    Cheese is good when it is on pizza or something, but I don’t like TOO much cheese, even though those look good! >>cathouse2
