Goat cheese grits

My oh my, so much cheesiness to catch up on from the last few months!  Back in October, my husband and I took an impromptu trip to Asheville, NC.  It was a destination on our never ending list of places we want to go.  Life was getting to be a bit much, so we decided to escape for a couple days.

We had dinner our first night at Tupelo Honey Cafe.  I had the veggie plate where I got to pick three of their side items.  The minute I saw them on the menu, I knew I had to try them, and I was not disappointed.  The goat cheese grits were a delicious surprise.  Now that I'm home, I can't stop making them for breakfast.

 After dinner, we meandered downtown for some window shopping until we reached Onyx Orchard Cheese.  We purchased a local North Carolina hoop cheddar and a cheese which will forever be unidentified, as I cannot find the slip of paper where I wrote down its name. I recall that the shop owner told us it was a cheese that was sold as young, aged a few months and also aged many months, and we had something in the middle.  Both became part of a lovely picnic overlooking the pond at the Biltmore Estate.
