CheeseCategory: food
Oddly, this is a follow up to (e:heidi,49711) and the cheese conversation. They're from a tiny village called Germania in Potter County, Pa. Germania has one of the oldest continuously running volunteer fire departments in the state, the Goodyear Hose Company #1.
Germania Hotel (I have some pretty cool pix of the inside - just amazing that the place hasn't been abandoned.)
Germania Store
Stuff inside Germania Store
Real sharp cheddar
Cutting a chunk for us
Some shots from the Germania Old Home Day that supports the fire company.

LootCategory: food
I went in the Can Can Candy store on elmwood after hitting the coop for lunch. The hot bar choices sucked so I got some discontinued amy's organics freezer food and mango sorbet. And then I got all this loot! Not the aqarius game... That just looked pretty with the candy. All my childhood favorites :-)

Wow - I have actually not had any of it. Well... I think I may have tasted starburst but I haven't even heard of any of the others.

Oh man I loved fun dip. I probably ate a metric ton if that stuff as a child. Looking back I wonder if cocaine was its inspiration.

Cabot with wax coating? I'll have to check it out. In the meantime, I've got this one.

I gotta try that fancy Cabot :-)
Yeah, I like local cheddar cheeses a lot - the texture is sometimes dryer, a little more crumbly than regular packaged cheeses, and a fresh sharpness. Yum!

I also buy a much cheaper cheese at Guercio's. It is made in NY and I think much better than Helluva Good Cheese which I think tastes kind of oily.

That's good too. This is what I buy now when I want an extra special cheese. It is at Wegmans in the same section you would find the cheese you already have. This is exactly what it looks like. :::link:::
I think it is about $8.
I really like that cheese on these Herbes de Provence flatbread crackers. :::link:::

Years ago my favie professor (and Melville Scholar) Seymour Gross) glossed Samuel Beckett's mesage as "fail. fail better." And told us Beckett was an optimist. But I agree it is a very rude parking meter.

Yum
Yes, it does. :-)
I have more pix from that weekend that are worth sharing... maybe I'll do that if I take a break sometime this weekend. They're making me giggle just reviewing them.
Haha, does that guy's apron say "cheese bitch"? :)
Yummy, that cheese looks amazing.
