The Laughing Cow

How does a cow laugh? I thought it was a rather strange brand name.

Before I get to the cow, as you know, I have developed an aversion towards beef. So I had to eat some other meat.

Pork belly. One of my favorites. These days I use my corningware instead of the air fryer basket for easier clean up.

As usual, I ate the meat with some bacteria kimchi and sauerkraut.

I am running out of homemade kimchi and will have to find an opportunity to make a fresh batch.

My chicken broth is excellent. Two chickens slow cooked in one liter of water, imagine the richness.

Now back to the laughing cow business. I was at Jaya Grocer when I overheard a lady telling another lady that "this cheese (The Laughing Cow) is VERY nice". I have seen this cheese before but I am not really a cheese person, so I never paid attention.

But lately, I am trying to boost my calcium intake for bone density and strength. Bone integrity is very important to prevent factures, especially for post-menopausal women. So I wanted to add cheese to my diet.

This packaging comes with 8 wedges of cheese.

I unwrapped a wedge.

I realized that it was white and soft, like cream cheese. I took a tentative sniff and the smell was very mild. And then I bravely took a bite.

Oh! It was nice. VERY nice. Soft, salty and mild in flavor. Not strong flavored as I had feared. Yes, I can totally eat (and enjoy) one a day.
