Food with a personality

Today was the first day of my new project, which sees me working from 8-12 every morning for the indefinite future.  Although I had some blogging withdrawal, it was actually quite a lovely experience — perhaps, in part, because I couldn’t check the news and my email, a fact that kept my tension level down.  (I find the news lately somewhat upsetting.)  My client is also a lovely human being, and made me feel so welcome.

At the end of this first morning’s work, my client took me to lunch at a local French restaurant.  It’s this restaurant that gives rise to something funny.  Since it’s French, it offered a cheese of the day, some sort of bleu cheese.  I wouldn’t have noticed it but for the adjective the menu gave that cheese:  unctuous.  Does that mean anything to you?  It sure doesn’t to me, other than giving me a good laugh.
