cheeses to try.

the cheese that ben and i had over the last break and that i have rediscovered today that it is called absolute bliss, and it is by a local cheesemaker. we will all eat it. it is the best.

poetry threw cheese editing. stephen crane.

In the desert
I saw a cheeseman, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his cheese in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said: "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter-bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my cheese."

    

Fun Things to do With Cheese

1) Put a block of it in the toilet after you pee and claim you passed it.
2) Shove a block of it in your mouth when meeting girlfriend’s parents and gesture that you cannot speak; makes things way less awkward.
3) Walk around for a day wearing cheese fangs (see picture of Noah for illustration).
4) Stick it under your armpits and claim you have, “The worst BO.”
5) Hide in roommates shoes. Say you were “storing it” when they get angry.
6) Make a tail for yourself out of string cheese.
7) Replace orange juice with fake nacho cheese.
8) Cover inside and outside of car with cheese. Say it is the first car made entirely of cheese to those who ask.
9) When hooking up with somebody for the first time, say you lost your penis in a bizarre accident and had it replaced with cheese.
10) Sell to middle-schoolers as a drug.

Just wanted everybody to know that I will be doing a performance art piece in which I eat, drink and bath in only cheese. It will last for one week and doctors will be on hand to revive me should my heart cease to function. The only clothes I will wear will be made of cheese or melted onto my body. The only underwear I will wear is a specially designed cheese banana-hammock. Should my intestines deem pooping impossible, I have a team of specialists ready to literally "scoop" everything clean. Thank you for your support.

This is Turkish, Cheese

One of the most disappointing things at a Turkish grocery is the cheese section. (see below)




This sorry sight of Turkish diary aisle is not to say that the Turks, or more Istanbul-ites are averse to cheese. NO. they love cheese, Turks Love cheese almost as much as Yogurt, almost.

but its mild, its all very mild.

Turkish cheese is only best in the breakfast, where there is the white slightly salty cheese, Beyaz Peynir (white sheep's milk cheese), but still! its only good with all the other accouterments.. tomatoes fresh pide(pitaish bread) olives, and honey, sometimes if they feel like it they give you an egg, sometimes. Its delightful cheese i still can never find in the above grocery asile, creamy and delicious, perfect for the hangovers, perfect for the start of a day, ruling the empire, however small it may be.

but lets just say its no Vermont cheddar, its no fresh cheve,

where is the?

space 2008: a cheese odyssey

this is the photo evidence of my cheese journey on the first of december.






i brought home a pecorino, a parmesan, a smoked gouda, a farm gouda and a sheepsmilk gouda, as well as a water buffalo Ravello.
all prducts of vermont.
all delicious.
i would like to thank my mother, father, and the artisan cheesemakers of vermont who made this possible.

(also, echo does not appreciate this much cheese being eaten in her room. i suggest other locations for further cheese journeys.)
