This Week's Tasting Plate: In With the Newfangled Edition

As folks around the world fall to their knees in awe over Apple's unveiling of the iPhone 5 and Nabisco's new Candy Corn Oreo, iPhone 4s and traditional chocolate cookies are retreating into the nursing home where aging, outdated technologies go.

Cheese, a very old human invention, might have been relegated to a rocking chair there once. But even pizza flavored goldfish and Cheez Whiz couldn't put baby in a corner, so to speak.

This week, like every week at the Dairymaids, is going out to the classics. We'll have Barely Buzzed, Shaker Blue, Bonne Bouche and Rimrocker on the tasting plate. The Arabella, a soft, raw milk cheese styled after the fragrant, buttery cheese of northern Italy, is a new option. Not as newfangled as churro-flavored cereal, but still.
