Say Cheese
Went out this morning and went crazy again.
A family member has a offer to move to the Austin Texas area
for a large "Bonus" and they finally found a new house to move into.
Today is the last day to give hugs and kisses and I wanted to bring some top notch cheese to the going away party.
Here is a picture of the new types that I found to try out.
It should be interresting.
I will post later on my taste ratings.

Austin TX, or California In The Middle as it might also be known. Not my first choice of place to live in Texas, but sometimes future financial security trumps other considerations.

While I enjoy a wide array of cheeses I am a certified Stilton man.

I buy Swiss cheese by the 5-to-8-pound log, and 2 pounders of Sharp Cheddar (white), pepper jack, & Munster. Water crackers by the 3-pound box. Preparing for the 4 kids, spouses and 9 grandkids! That Swiss will also go on sandwiches with the Easter Ham come Monday!
Raising the kids, I kept 4 different cheeses in the 5 pound logs for the kids to make sandwiches and snacks. We went through 8 to 10 pounds of cheese and 5 gallons of milk a week. I guess that's why the boys are all 6'1" or taller!
Growing up, I always wanted to live in a home where all the other kids came to play. As an adult I succeeded, by feeding everybody well and having a cute daughter, along with paintball every Saturday weather permitting!

I love aromatic cheeses. Put me down for block limburger, onion and mustard on dark rye.

A few years ago a Cousin sent me one of these.
I have done the Cheese Dance a number of times but he never sent me another one!
‘Celebrate a Mississippi State tradition with Edam cheese! The tradition dates back to 1938 when Professor F.H. Herzer ordered ten teakwood hoops (molds) from Holland, and the Dairy Science Department began producing Edam cheese using fresh milk from MSU’s own dairy herds.

We have some decent local cheeses. Some pretty good stuff comes out of Oregon, and of course Cougar Gold.
I'm a huge fan of Cambozola and dried figs.....

During their summer picnic, local church here used to have a limburger sandwich booth. Put it and a beer booth down by the ballfield.
I enjoy block limburger - With horseradish, sauerkraut, sweet onion on dark rye.
Breath mints are no match...

So far the three ladys in the group think the Baked Lemon Ricotta is just out of this world and don't think of it as a cheese, but a light desert.
Flavor: 8 Taste: 9.3
The Toscano soaked with Syrrah was a nice firm cheese with a well balanced
medium sharp taste, that we all enjoyed. Flavor:8 Taste: 8
More reviews later.

Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturer of dairy products.

MsNative's grandmother received 5lb. blocks during the Reagan years. She was of northern Italian heritage born on Mulberry St. NYC and would have nothing to do with processed cheese so passed it along to us.
A real boon for a young family this was a nice addition to the pantry, a cross between Velveeta and cheddar with a salty kick. With the dairy surplus due to people choosing alternatives maybe not a bad idea to reimplement the program before the herds disappear and demand for real milk spikes again in 5 - 10 years.

That was good stuff! I was a single mom with 2 kids, we ate a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches. And I had a great recipe for nacho cheese using it

Ruthie's sister is handicapped and used to get government cheese but she doesn't like cheese so guess who got it.

I'm curious what you like to have with the cheese - Saltines, sliced apple - what kind, some other kind of cracker, artisan bread?
Do you cut the cheese into chunks, or maybe slice into thin pieces, sorta like a potato chip, with one of those European cheese peelers?
I'm no connoisseur, but I do love some good cheese and would appreciate any suggestions.

I love most all cheeses. But my go to favorite is Tillamook Sharp White Cheddar. Give it a try, if you can find it. Not sure about their coverage.

If on a road trip I like to keep a dry bag with Saltines, sardines, nuts, dried fruit and such. I've heard an aged cheddar travels well without refrigeration. Anyone have an experience with any type of cheese in a vehicle for a day or three, maybe exposed to heat?
I'd have to be desperate to use Easy Cheese.

Back in the Day down South Country Stores would have Hoop Cheese.
That’s a big circular Cheese about 2+ feet round sitting on a guillotine type cutter.
The country lunch might consist of some cheese, baloney, crackers and a Soda like a RC Cola.
This cheese would be sitting in the heat sweating just like the rest of us!
I think I recall it was prone to dry out if sliced and carried around very long in the heat.

You're right. Can't imagine allowing Velveeta in the kitchen. Cheese is much better.

Shouldn't you have gotten them some Holly Water, a Bible, and any book by Rush Limbaugh instead of cheese for the move to Austin?

A necessary stop coming back home from Wisconsin.
Probably the only place you can get 14 year old aged cheddar. It's excellent- too good in fact to be put on a cracker.

During my time behind the counter I sold a lot of single guitar strings. I stocked up on .016 and .018 gauge strings as that's what the local diners and delis used to cut cheese.
BTW I currently have a block of Velveeta in the fridge.
