French Cheese Stinks
French President Charles de Gaulle said, “A country that produces 325 varieties of cheese cannot be governed.” I would say that while I’m not sure that I have been exposed to 325 varieties of cheese yet, I am of the opinion that cheeses in France smell more than cheeses in the US. 
When we first arrived, I couldn’t figure out why my kitchen always smelled like the trash needed to be taken out. It clearly wasn’t the trash can. Then sweet Jen said, “If you don’t want your kitchen to stink like the cheese in the fridge you need to put it in an air tight container. ” Smart woman Jen! She went shopping with us the first week we were here and helped us find a hair dryer, an electric tooth brush, boxes to put our socks and underwear in on the closet shelves….AND an air tight container (top shelf left). I have since shared this important knowledge with a friend from the UK whose French partner adores stinky cheese…she is very grateful for the tip!
