Keeping cheese on the counter under a big glass dome at room temperature is my secret method of making $3-4/lb cheese taste like $5-7/lb cheese.

Then there’s margarine. I read on the internet that it’s indestructible as long as it’s not warm enough to melt. Put a stick in your garage, on the ground. Nothing will touch it, not mice, ants, roaches, bacteria. It’s pretty much yellow candle wax with salt to taste. No living thing considers it ‘food’ but us.
