Sliced cheese is one of those things that make things better. Just think how it makes a ham and cheese sandwich (at least) twice as good! The Nuance Cheese Cube is a cheese slicer that looks good in use or not. The stainless-steel and ABS contraption features cool a design and an adjustable cutting height, so those ham and cheese sandwiches can not only taste good, but look good too.

Mmmm… Back to school. It sounds delicious; at least it does to parents and marketers everywhere. Hurried and harried parents not only like to see their kids off to school for some free babysitting, but they like to do so with the minimum amount of hassle. Making time-friendly recipes like the one below help:

Heaping tablespoon roasted almonds

Directions:

1. Combine in small bowl.

That would be for something called a Munch Bowl. Keep reading to see some others in the form of a press release from Cabot. (Which are juuuuust a little more involved.)

Freshly-shaved parm is a great way to add texture and flavor to anything from pizza to salads. And now, paper too. The Parmesan Cheese Pencils form The Deli Garage are a clever spin on the traditional method of shaving the cheese. Formed into the shape of a pencil, each cheese stick is embedded with extra flavor: chili, pesto or truffle. A pencil sharpener is included with the ‘pencils’ and allows for instant shaving of the cheese over anything and everything, including delicious, delicious words.

It only takes one time to learn the error of trying to grill a block or wheel of cheese by putting it directly on the grill. Fortunately, for many of us that one time never happened. Unfortunately, because we know cheese to melt, we never tried it. Luckily, for the adventurous and non-adventurous alike, there is a simple solution.

The Gourmet Cheese Grilling Planks are made from maple wood and are perfect for creating smoky and gooey melted cheese out on the grill. After soaking for one hour, the 6-inch square planks are ready to go. Place brie, cheddar, or whatever on the planks and create your own smoked cheese–without it falling into the fire. Can be reused if not too charred, although that might just bring more flavor to the party. For well under ten bucks, it’s an experiment worth trying.

Cake out of a box isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it won’t hold up to scrutiny. Unless, of course, you embellish it somehow. Like with shiny things. The Gem Embellished White Cake Plates won’t make the cake taste any better, but if you’re looking for a distraction, dazzle ‘em with bling. Cheesecake would go good with these.

Bowling and cheese go together like… well, I have no idea. Maybe cheese as in on a pizza? And pizza and beer go together, and beer and bowling go together? No, while all true that might be a stretch… Maybe because bowling is cheesy? No, bowling was never really exploited to the point where it could be cheesy. (Now if they started wearing matching sequined uniforms…) Bowling is just, bowling. Aha! I got it. Bowling is for everybody, just like everybody loves cheese. And beer. And pizza. Whatever, just go with it.

Whatever the connection is between bowling and cheese, it doesn’t matter as bowling-fans and cheese-lovers alike can enjoy this Spare Me Bowling Ball Cheese Spreader Set in Gift Box. Featuring four bowling pin cheese spreaders that rest inside a ceramic bowling ball, the novelty contraption will come in handy for all your bowling and cheese needs–whatever those may be.
