Randolph Vermont Home of cows and yuppies! NOT a yuppie! Punk

[untabubba]

Punk, Does that mean YOUR A COW?!? Wow, now I'm REALLY impressed!! First, Mr. Ed - a talking horse. NOW, Punk - the typing cow!!! And he models human railroads to boot! Mr. Breeze

[ginzokid]

Holy Cow! You making white cheddar now? The best in the world comes from Vermont. B-)

Cabot Hunters Extremely Sharp in the three pound brick please. MOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!! Punk

[untabubba]

Punk, I had a 1 pound block of that to serve to company this past weekend. Good stuff! Do you dip it in mustard? Marc

[ginzokid]

Marc, How dare you insult such a fine cheese. I suppose you put salt in your beer and peanuts in your coke too. B-)

[untabubba]

Pete, A touch, and I mean a touch, of dijon mustard on sharp cheese is wonderful! (I'm not talkin' "hot dog" mustard here.) I didn't make this up. Ever try mustard on a baked potato, instead of all the fat laden butter and sour cream?? Delicious, and it cuts to calories way back! Who salts beer?? Marc

[ginzokid]

We gave up butter and sour cream and chives on a baker a long time ago...........sadly. Now it is fresh salsa. I can almost enjoy it. We use Coleman's mustard here. Mixed from powder and the hotter the better. But, I still will not adulterate a fragrent, savory, hard, old extra sharp cheese with anything. I want to feel, smell and taste that zing, that bite, that creaminess on all the parts of my tongue that savor such sensations. Damn! That was positively erotic! Kimmers....warm up the..... Bye guys......... 😉

[untabubba]

Woah! Somebody get a bucket of cold water! Do you think Pete likes cheese?? Pete, Yes, and right after all that a polite sip of a full bodied Chardonnay and I'm in heaven! In fact I'm off to a little cheese and wine appetizer before our dinner. Later, Marc

Personaly I favor Plochmans Premium Stone Ground mustard on most anything, except the cheese. Now a bread n butter pickle maybe! This chedder is best eaten (savored) at room temprature to fully bring out the flavor. Unfortunatly it also brings out Ralph and the other cats so I have to keep it in the fridge. When you get a brick that crumbles when you slice it, you got a good one! Punk

We have a "cheese dog" in this house. Just try to sneak any kind of cheese out of the fridge without hearing the pitter patter of little toe nails charging into the kitchen. I have seen her sleeping on the bed, snoring, yes she does, and tried to get a quick snack for myself. I swear that I don't even have the fridge door al theway open and there she is. And she does it only for cheese. Well, carrots too. But always for cheese. And here is a kicker. Canadians do not make good sharp cheese. Wisconsin cheese is OK, but Vermont and New York extra old aged sharps are the best. Now I have probably started another war......The Cheese War of 2005. B-)

No War from this Canadian... everything we do seems mild. (except play hockey!). I think the blandness of our food is a hold-over from our British beginnings. Max, the dog, will do anything for cheese. At the cabin he'll chase squirrels, chippies, porkies, moose... anything but the mice. I think that he has a deal with them for the cheese they steal out of the traps. Fred

My personal favorite is really old, very well aged (real) Provolone! (It's kind of hard to find the "good stuff" just anywhere.) Talk about "crumble when you cut it"! The really good stuff stings your tongue! Now that is sharp!!!!! Marc No mustard on that! 😮 😄

[beastranger]

Ralph can open the fridge door so I have to keep a piece of duct tape on the door! ****PUNK****

Homebase, SE Pa getting snowed in as I type. I just made one last trip out for a few last minute things....like a bank deposit. I mean, life does go on! (Outstanding checks will clear today!) The nuts are out in force! There were at least twenty people standing in line, in the snow, waiting for the Blockbuster to open. Talk about "needing a life"! The Giant(grocery store) shopping center parking lot was literally gridlocked! I drove my sturdy little Forester right up the curb, over an embankment and back out on the road and got the heck out of Dodge!! CJ, what are you getting out there? Who else is getting blasted? Marc
