The problem with working nights is that you get home, and you feel utterly ridiculous because c'mon, you've been at work 12-plus hours, and you should just go to bed, and then you end up eating anyway, because you need to stay awake to surf the internet for fifteen minutes. And what you end up eating depends entirely on what you brought to the hospital last night to eat during your shift, and then you never got a chance.

Sometimes, that something is goat gouda.

So this cheese. At extreme room temperature -- which is probably the name of the blandest metal band ever, like, EXTREME a comfortable 72 degrees -- anyway, when kept at room temperature for approximately 13 hours, this cheese develops only the slightest oil-sheen, and it still tastes good. It would be better slightly (slightly!) chilled, probably, but it's a pretty solid goat cheese all the same. Hooray, Rouse's! Sometimes. Who knew?
