"DIANE STEMPLE is a clinical psychologist. But each Thursday she steps away from her practice in Port Washington, N.Y., to work at the counter at Murray's Cheese shop in Greenwich Village.
When the restaurant Artisanal opened four years ago with a list of 200 cheeses, Dr. Stemple worked there as an intern. "I was the weird woman from the suburbs who wanted to work in cheese," she said.
Dr. Stemple, who said she became enchanted with cheese when she sampled varieties she had never tasted while on her European honeymoon in 1985, once dragged her family on a 12-day trip to Scotland, where she made cheese. She also has taught cheese classes for her local school district.
"It's not normal," she said of her cheese obsession."
