Bufala Mozzarella: The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me
Thursday, May 26th, 2011The main reason why I went on a shopping trip that day was because I wanted to brighten up her mood. Just hours before we decided to hit the store, she came storming into my room, ranting about her now ex-boyfriend. I just let her vent out all her rage as she told me everything there is to know. I was half listening to whatever she was saying, thinking of something we could do together to cheer her up. Not that I cared really, because I know that she probably may have broken up with five boyfriends just for this month. Needless to say, after she was able to vent out, I grabbed my bag – and my best friend, and brought her to the market.
I was told that there’s a gourmet shop that just opened somewhere between the fruits stand as well as the veggie area. My curiosity got me so I headed to the store with my best friend to see what we could get for dinner. And what I saw was something named Bufala Mozzarella Cheese. How could it possibly taste like, I wondered. This cheese stirred the interest in me, and just as always, I bought it just to know how it tastes like. Thankfully, the courteous store keeper was very helpful in giving me tips on what would go best with it.
I was quite amused in the way the store personnel talked to me about this cheese. And mind you, I can’t seem to deny the fact that he looked very charming and that he looked a lot like an Italian. Did I mention that there something about Italians that captivate me? I didn’t realize that my best friend noticed the chemistry between us. And because she knows how dumb I am when it comes to boys, she made sure that the guy gets my number. The next thing I knew, I was walking home with my best friend, with a huge and awkward smile on my face.
It was not until when we came right to the kitchen when she started talking about “the guy”. She found out that he came fresh from Italy, and that he owns the small gourmet shop. She said that the Bufala Mozzarella cheese I bought was his favorite among all the other kinds of cheeses. We used it as a topping for grilled eggplant, zucchini that was first marinated in olive oil and garlic. We topped it with the cheese and roasted peppers. Very delicious!
Just when I was about to go to bed, I got a call from the guy. We talked for what seemed like hours and hours, like those high school kids. And so they say that the rest is history. We are now married, with two beautiful kids. Truth of the matter is, I certainly have the Bufala Mozzarella Cheese to thank for. Grab a slice of this cheese today! They can be found in local gourmet stores in your neighborhood but you may also order this in the gourmet cheese shop online too.
