cheese shouldn't have calories. i'm just saying.

~ about a year and a half ago, i watched a korean vlogger use a dark, odd looking cheese on her coffee. o.O she then proceeded to put it on a piece of bread along with apples, crushed nuts, and honey. 

i was FASCINATED and decided that i probably was going to die if i didn't find that cheese and try it. FINDING the cheese ended up being the issue. i was bemoaning this fact to the mister yesterday while we were in the grocery store (we had to go get her irrigation device, so stopped for a shop) and he asked what the cheese was called and what it looked like. 

i pulled it up on the trusty google machine and showed him:

norwegian breakfast cheese.

"it's not easy to find though," i told him. "i've been looking for ages." then started bitching about how, in a state that prides itself on cheese, exotic cheeses are too hard to find. 

he stopped my chatter and there, at a grocery store i've been in at least a hundred times, in front of a cheese display i have scoured at least as many....he found it. 

he SWEARS it's been there all along, but i don't think so. 

anyway, the upshot is it's a FASCINATING cheese and if you can find it? you should get it. if you like cheese. and caramel. 

i know it SOUNDS like it shouldn't work, but it does. 

on a thin slice of my cranberry bread, i shredded a bit of the gjetost (that's what it's called....pronounced ya toast, which makes me happy), made myself a cup of white tea, and found myself in cheese toast heaven.
