Back in my carefree spendthrift days, I'd toss the cheese in the garbage when it turned moldy. I was oblivious to the fact that I might as well be throwing dollar bills away. True, we could opt for buying just a few slices at a time from the deli counter, but that's way too expensive. And unnecessary. I can save more than $2 a pound off the best price at the supermarket if I buy in bulk from a discount warehouse like Sam's Club or Costco. And that presents the problem of storage. Whoever said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," must have been a deli owner. Think about it. With all that cheese in those cases, have you ever seen one in a lovely shade of green? Never. In fact, all I know about the proper care and handling of cheese I learned from one such person. He introduced me to the two archenemies of cheese: air and bacteria. OUNCE OF PREVENTION. Limit exposure to air, and you can greatly extend the useful life of any type of cheese.

We don't need to see you in September By Jennifer Cooper Social Security Manager in Redding Summertime is over, and it's time to face the fall.
