forgotten cheese

last weekend diana went on a (much needed) cleaning spree. the kitchen was a bit of a mess, not terrible or anything, we keep up on the dishes and keeping it clean and everything, its just that it was getting cluttered and unorganized. she went through all the cupboards and drawers and cleaned them up and organized all the food and stuff. as she was going through the fridge, she happened to notice we had a container of parmesan cheese. we pulled it out and it had been turned from powdered cheese into a block of cheese. i'm not much of a chef, but i'm pretty sure that means its no longer any good... she showed it to me and i had a pretty good laugh at it! it was a D&W product. this is why its funny: D&W hasnt existed for about 4 years! it used to be a grocery store chain in grand rapids, but was bought out by family fare years ago. needless to say, i dont use parmesan cheese very often... when i saw it i got a bit nostalgic- D&W was the brand we always used when i was growing up! its always a bit funny to find an old relic in the fridge. it reminds me of the time i found a ketchup packet years ago in our fridge from raxx. ah, remember raxx?...

There are still D&Ws in GR. They are owned by FamilyFare but they kept the name and made them a little bit more upscale than a regular FamilyFare. They don't sell and D&W products anymore.

They also have the best red potato salad in the world.
