Title: Cheese 🧀
Post by: fucking on December 16, 2021, 04:17:40 AM
Aldi upgraded its offerings. Lots of predictable Swiss, feta, cheddar variants.

But they also added Port Salut, which is one of my favorites. And for Halloween they had a bunch of flavored Wensleydales and parmesan style wedges.

I don't think the northern people would have survived without cheese and cured meats, so thanks for respecting my tribal roots, Aldi.

Love that Aldi has become hip. Citrus Wensleydale is damn good.

Has anyone ever had a Bud Light Platinum?

I found a case of them (aluminum bottles) near a Campustown dumpster about this time of December, a few years ago.

Stupidly, I didn't hide them behind a bush.

When I returned with the car, they were gone.

I'm guessing you are better off for it.

BLP is just a newer lighter version of Bud Ice. It’s a shortcut to producing a higher ABV light adjunct lager. Very distinctive malt liquor type taste imo.

I'm walking to Campustown now, as a matter of fact, to get some cheese.

These three boxes were left by a dumpster.

I didn't collect them. I gather things that I can use, or donate.

In the foreground box was a fullish gallon of Drano, a full Swagger Body Wash and a Mane n' Tail conditioner. I collected those.

A couple of blocks away, someone had tossed two plastic jugs of 5-W30 STP motor oil. I moved the empty to the recycling bin. I moved the partial out of the dumpster, to a spot where it might be seen.

No port salut at the local but did snag a package of fondue cheese which made for a fun activity this evening.

I made a round of Brie baked inside pastry puff for an app at Thanksgiving. Drizzled with honey and served with crackers and apple slices. It didn’t suck. No Steely Dan though.

I’d prefer some Van Morrison.

Add the Grateful Dead and you might have the world's top 3 most overrated music acts.
Title: Re: Cheese 🧀
Post by: Judge Judy on December 20, 2021, 07:09:45 PM
Grateful Dead suck.

Van Morrison is probably one of the most underrated musicians of all time. His Astral Weeks album is a revolution in music and one of the greatest albums of all time. His ability to invoke so much emotion into songs with just his voice is phenomenal. Oh and Brown Eyed Girl is horrible and he admitted as much. He was forced by the label to make cookie-cutter music and refused so he broke away and made what he wanted. Mad respect for him.

Pee Wee Ellis on the saxophone solo at the 2:40 mark is breathtaking.

First time I have seen Aldi's associated with social status.

American is not real cheese.

Most of our cheddar cheese is sort of fake too. It's real cheese. The color is fake.

Traditional cheddar made from the milk of pasture raised dairy cows has  a natural orange color from carotenes. So the public expects cheddar to be orange.

Since dairy herds are seldom pasture fed anymore, nearly all our cheddar these days is actually naturally white. Annatto dye is added to give it an orange color. Same with colby cheese.

Annatto also gives most of our butter its yellow color. Otherwise, it would resemble lard and lack eye appeal
