I’ve been nibbling on Spanish cheeses this week. I finished my wedge of Manchego for the lunch the other day, so today I  picked up some drunken goat from the Whole Foods Market. I’ve heard this can be hard to find, is that still the case? They seemed to have an ample supply. It’s my first time sampling this goat variety and was expecting a slightly different taste. I love goat cheese, but I honestly didn’t taste that much difference for regular goat cheese. It of course was slightly milder, yet slightly more tangly, and had a creamy, almost Gouda like consistency. Very good, but I was expecting more.

I’ve avoided these little cakesters for a while, but after spotting them on sale, decided it was time to try.

The vanilla filling is a replica of the filling in a classic Oreo. The exterior chocolate cake is moist and dense – with a similar taste and texture to Archway dutch cocoa cookies. The cake makes them even sweeter than the original Oreos, but with 250 calories per 2-pack, you don’t really need more than one cookie to satisfy an afternoon sweet tooth.
