Cheese
Category: 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.)

LOL cheese bitch!
enknot - 05/13/11 12:58
the post was called cheese and there were only two pictures of cheese. can you say "rip off"!?
paul - 05/12/11 21:17
Yum
heidi - 05/12/11 16:13
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.
lauren - 05/12/11 16:01
Haha, does that guy's apron say "cheese bitch"? :)
libertad - 05/12/11 15:25
Yummy, that cheese looks amazing.

Loot
Category: 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 :-)

tinypliny - 05/26/11 20:17
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.

Frat Boy Fun Dip :::link:::
paul - 05/13/11 17:15
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!
Category: food
Cabot with wax coating? I'll have to check it out. In the meantime, I've got this one.

tinypliny - 05/26/11 20:18
I still have to give this a try... mental note. mental note!
heidi - 05/12/11 14:05
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!
libertad - 05/12/11 06:49
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.
libertad - 05/12/11 06:46
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:::
