There is no such thing.....

I am munching on a FABULOUS piece of 4-year old cheddar cheese from The Cheese Haven in Port Clinton, Ohio. Expensive, but ohmygawd, is it good. You must go, you must!

1) Just think of the stuff you buy at your supermarket that turns into a science project of green fuzzies in about 10 days. This stuff is FOUR YEARS OLD and keeps out of the frig.
2) When this cheese was made, war in Iraq was only a wide (or wild)-eyed fantasy for young President Chimpy.
3) Just think of those disgusting things at your store. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FAT-FREE CHEESE!!!!! If it is "fat free," it is NOT cheese! Ditto for my personal (un)favorite, "fat-free half and half"

VVVVHAT? Half milk and half cream with no fat? "Cream" is defined as "a dairy product composed of the higher-fat layer skimmed from the top of raw milk before homogenization."

It it is non-fat, it isn't "half and half." It is a disgusting lab project.

Your body NEEDS fat. Not what we consume in massive fast-food burgers, but we need fat nonetheless. And if you are going to enjoy, do it right--use the real butter and cream wisely and leave the things that don't exist on the store shelf.

CHEESE HAVEN--GO THERE!!!

I actually was in Wisconsin on Sunday and in a fit of Schadenfreude, stopped at several places along the way home, inclusive of the Mars Cheese Castle, a destination which I had yet to visit in my near 34 years on the planet. Note to self?: Bring a cooler next time. Other than the cheese shaped and wax colored like a certain number 4 who plays QB north of the border, there were some real finds that I wanted to taste. And they had NINE year old cheddar, for a humble $18/pound. That's some expensive cheese and crackers, but one that I would love to indulge.
