Stinky cheese

Paul found a supplier in New York that offers some of the finest selection of French and Italian cheeses that can be shipped down here so he ordered a bunch for Christmas and New Year's at the restaurant. We were planning on doing some really nice cheese platters with wine pairings, etc.

Well, this morning I ran into the lady who runs the mail supply place and inquired about the order to make sure that when it gets here to call us right away so we could pick it up.

The response I got was "Oh, Was that YOUR cheese?" "It came in last week and it smelled bad so the ferry captain refused the shipment and it got thrown away" Ummnn, did you even bother to pick up the freakin' phone to call us and let us know?

Now I can just imagine $700 dollars worth of the finest European cheese rotting now in a G.D. garbage dumpster in St. Maarten. Do I have to do everything myself to get anything done with ANY level of accuracy?

And for that matter, It's SUPPOSED to "stink" you bunch of Ding-a-Lings....
