Cheese

[plonq]

I like cheese. I like all manner of cheese: hard, soft, sharp, mild, bland, stinky -- it would be trite, and untrue to say that I have never met a cheese that I did not like, but I have definitely liked the majority of cheeses that have passed my way.

Recently atara purchased some cheese from a co-worker who was organizing a group purchase. It was a brand with which I was unfamiliar, but we decided to buck up for some smoked Gouda, aged white Cheddar, some curds and a garlic-chive Havarti. All four were very good, and the experience imbued me with a new found brand awareness. When we were out shopping on the weekend, we picked up some more of the smoked Gouda, and another one that caught my eye:



The truffle cheese is amazing. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time in my life that I've had truffle, and I have decided that the experience is worth repeating. =9 I also learned something today that I'd likely already have known if I bothered to read product labels; this cheese is made locally - well, as local as one would consider a village about 30 minutes drive from here.

On another note, I don't know what's up with the plumbing in our washroom, but whatever it is, it can't end well. In the last couple of days the pipes have begun rumbling when one of the urinals flushes, and it has been getting progressively louder. Today the whole room shakes, and it sounds like Beelzebub himself is living in the walls. O.o

You have urinals? Fancy!

What was the cheese(s) you didn't like?

It's not as simple as "I don't like Wensleydale". Often it's just a case where I don't like certain brands of cheese. For instance I like Gjetost, but not all brands.

Rumbling = possible air leaks into the pipes = something called a "water hammer" I think.

"Water hammer" describes the sound very well. It's violent enough that I can picture the pipes tearing away from their brackets behind the walls.

There's something about the juxtapositionof those two subject matters that I find very disturbing.

On another note, I love cheese. I was in a very elegant restaurant in Belgium a couple of months ago, and when the cheese cart came around, I broke all the rules etiquette and had them give me a little piece of every single cheese! it was about a dozen!!! i was in heaven.
