I ruined cheese...

I decided tonight that I should mail cheese straws to New York. I worked on them for 90 minutes (after my tipping post) and...disaster. Now I understand why Ina Garten and Paula Dean use puff pastry. Never again. I am sad. Not only did I ruin a perfectly good block of cheese, I also missed Sex and the City on TBS. (Please reserve judgement.) Sigh. -LG

***Update: The cheese straws are much better after being refrigerated overnight. In addition, Nacho likes them, so I guess not all is lost.
