Goat Cheese: So Good, So Bad

As a cheese person in a cheese family I've always been a bit underwhelmed by the household cheese variety. Part of it is financial and part of it fear so when I branched out to goat cheese it didn't surprise me that the $7 log turned moldy before I could finish it. No one else will venture to its wonderful tangy smoothness.

Tonight though I was making butternut squash and tortellini soup. It's alright, my mom is a huge fan. Anyhow, I'm cooking the tortellini separately so that it is fully cooked come the final product. I pop one of those bad boys in my mouth and then it happened:

Goat cheese napalm plastered the roof of my mouth, sizzling as the skin festered and bubbled. No amount of panicked gnashing helped. My teeth and tongue fought tirelessly in vain.

The worst part, no one made me a milkshake for dinner. I had to eat the soup stuff with my mouth all raw. I guess the moral of the story is not to eat hot goat cheese. It's good but deadly.
