At our recent housewarming party, one of the hits was this boursin I made out of fresh herbs, cream cheese, and the world’s tastiest flavor enhancer, butter.  I didn’t even know it was possible to make your own boursin until I had it about a year ago at my friend Jeremy’s house.  Jeremy’s dad, Bobby, is a food fanatic, and he made a massive meal for one of our Family Dinners, the focal point of which was  the most delicious cioppino.  Before the steaming hot bowls of cioppino arrived in front of us, we snacked on his homemade boursin.  I drew on everything I had in me to keep from grabbing that bowl of boursin, running out the door, and living life on the lam, just me and my boursin.

During the housewarming party, one of our new friends, who is originally from France, held court strategically in the corner of the room, right next to the boursin.  With a glass of red wine in hand, he snacked on that herbed cheese all night.  I take that as a huge compliment.
