Market Friday and the lesson in "Cutting the Cheese"

So yesterday, I was feeling down in the dumps, but I NEEDED
some things from the grocery store, so I pulled up my panties
and went to Kroger.
I was craving a salad, but I've learned from long experience
That if I BUY a head of lettuce or whatever, plus all the other
Stuff I like in a salad, much of it will go bad before I can eat it.

I was also thinking about the thick cut of meat in my fridge
That needed to be cooked, and what would go along with
It, so... some taters.
I've fallen in love with the (expensive) "antipasti" bar

I finally got one of the nice folks there to let me sample
One of those marinated Mushrooms.

Very tasty, but for another day.

So this section is also the CHEESE specialty area, the young man
"Juston" who let me sample the 'shroom, saw me taking photos.
"If you'll come back in a little while, I'm going to be giving "Devin"
Lessons in how to cut a cheese wheel"

That is 80 lbs of Parmigiano Reggiano at $17.99 per lb.
Of course I came back

(That's Connie in the red shirt, Devin is in the black shirt)
It was fascinating to watch the steps, and how seemingly
Easy it was for him (he was taller, I suspect more leverage)
than for her (plus me being there with my camera was,
Even though she denied it, making her nervous)

Of course, Juston let me taste a piece that fell off as they cut

It was DELICIOUS. I've never had parmesan cheese this way,
Nor this fresh.

Who knew you could get lessons in
