I don’t reside in Wisconsin though I did as a wee lad way back then. Sometimes if I climb a tree tall enough I can see the shoreline over yonder. All against the advice of my doctors, who have lost lthe joy of climbing a tree. Just because. What has this post got to do with cheese, you ask? I just devoured a 1 pound (0.453592 kg) block of fine Wisconsin extra sharp cheddar. All by myself, I did not offer it anyone else. It was tasty and I could not help myself. Hopefully my digestion system will recover in a few days. Monday morning madness. 🙂 ---

I had Swiss cheese on my scrambled eggs, for the first, at Cracker Barrel yesterday. The taste was good, but the texture was meh; it was in strips. Next time, I’ll see if they have shredded, I’ll keep you posted. ---

The cheese-mites asked how the cheese got there, And warmly debated the matter; The Orthodox said that it came from the air, And the Heretics said from the platter. They argued it long and they argued it strong, And I hear they are arguing now; But of all the choice spirits who lived in the cheese, Not one of them thought of a cow. — Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle ---

I just finished a very nice snack of dill and garlic Monterey Jack cheese, braunschweiger, cherry tomatoes, bread and butter pickles, olives, sliced green apple and rye crackers. Buuuuurrrrrrrrrp. Yum! ---

A couple weeks ago I found a shrink wrapped block of 12 year old sharp cheddar stamped 2011 in the back of a refrigerator in my brothers basement. It was amazing. ---

Cheddar is one of my favorites and I too prefer it sharp or extra sharp. But for a salad I like fresh parmesan or fresh mozzarella. That shredded package stuff is for philistines. > [@Cabin\_Fever](#): > > I just devoured a 1 pound (0.453592 kg) block of fine Wisconsin extra sharp cheddar.

> [@burpo\_the\_wonder\_mutt](#): > > If you’re married, you might wanna aim your backside at an open window tonight while you’re sleeping. 😃 Single…perhaps for a reason. IMHO, the only thing wrong with that snack is that it needed a good, dark beer to wash it down. ---

That shredded package stuff is for philistines. > > Enjoy your constipation. 😃 The rumblings in my intestines have concluded that I will have a mistakable time. I just found a box of whole wheat crackers sitting in my pantry. Hopefully that will help. The suggestion of a good dark German beer sounds good, but in this smal town everything is closed for the night. ---
