(Last Updated On: January 17, 2023) NATIONAL CHEESE LOVER’S DAY On National Cheese Lover’s Day, don’t feel bleu, throw a feta or act capriciously. January 20th is a gouda day to kummin over and have some cheddar or asiago or fontina! #CheeseLoversDay There is no firm evidence of how humans discovered cheese making. But legend tells us it was likely that someone created the first cheese by chance. Thousands of years ago, people transported milk and stored it in sheep’s stomachs. Left to sit a few days, the proteins would separate into curds and whey. From there, preserving the solids...

According to the CDC, the cheese was manufactured by Old Europe Cheese. On Friday, Sept. 30, the company recalled more than 20 brands of brie and camembert sold nationwide and in Mexico at supermarkets, retail shops, and wholesale stores.

California company Jule’s Foods has announced the voluntary recall of its plant-based food products over possible Salmonella contamination. The issue appears to potentially stem from the use of cashews, but the source is still a mystery at this point. The company notes that it is working with the FDA and that the recall is joined by a Salmonella probe by the CDC and FDA. The recall was recently published by the FDA; it notes that some Jule’s Foods cashew-based brie products tested positive for Salmonella via the California Department of Public Health. The products were sold in several US states,...

I would love to think it’s my “engaging personality” that makes me popular at parties but, if I’m being honest, I know it’s really my baked brie — a warm and creamy round of brie topped with honey, dried cherries and nuts, all encased in golden puff pastry. People love this stuff and always ask for the recipe. The truth is that you barely need a recipe; store-bought frozen puff pastry makes it super simple.

Historian Kyle Weissman writes an article in response to Google's recent doodle commemorating the 256th birthday of Marie Harel, the greatest producer of Brie Cheese in France and the inventor of camembert Cheese. Or was she? The story or Brie Cheese and its close relative camembert is as old as France herself. From the battlefields of Lombardy, the court of Charlamange and Henry IV, to the French revolution and the Vendee Uprising.  The story of Cheese in France is an amazing one. In fact throughout the medieval world, Cheese was as important as was bread. Bread was an important matter...

<p>A grand feast of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp was winding down, and a group of friends was sitting on the back patio of a Capitol Hill home, sipping red wine. Suddenly, a hooded man slid in through an open gate and put the barrel of a handgun to the head of a 14-year-old guest.</p>

UNNNGH!

How about telling us all your age, gender and location. Also, if you want, who you like in the upcoming presidential primary.

"The myth of national homogeneity."  PARIS - Last year, a French sociologist answered 258 help-wanted ads for salespeople by sending nearly 2,000 fictitious resumes with identical qualifications, and photos attached, as is the custom here.Faring poorly, among others, were members of France's most disadvantaged minority group - Arab Muslims.White males with French names received an invitation to interview at a rate of 30 percent, compared with just 5 percent for people with Arab names.In the United States, such findings might be met with a renewed commitment to affirmative action and vows by the government to continue prosecuting illegal hiring discrimination....

I watched as my wife put all her energy into scraping what looked like a white crust around a round wheel of brie cheese. She held it on its side on the cutting board and carefully used a cheese knife to peel away the white covering over a manila colored soft cheese that is by far one of my favorites. I went over to ask if I could help and she gave me a look that told me to get away because she didn’t want to spend the afternoon cleaning up my blood off the kitchen floor. Knowing she was...

October 5 Today is the Anniversary of Monty Python's Flying Circus! The Flying Circus debuted this day, 35 years ago, on television at 10:50 PM on BBC-1. The world was never the same. (October 5, 1969)

'I don't know who taught him to fly, but they didn't tell him to check the gas'. A 25-year-old man is facing several charges after his plane, reported stolen from an airfield in Maine, crashed into a Montérégie field yesterday morning. The man, a Livingston, Me., resident, suffered only minor injuries in the accident. He had been flying a Cessna without a pilot's licence or flight training, said Constable Manon Gaignard of the Sûreté du Québec. For unknown reasons, the man left a private airport, near Turner, Me., about 6:30 a.m., running out of gas three hours later above St....

French unemployment rises; growth forecast cut The war with Iraq will lead to slower economic growth and more unemployment, France's statistics institute has said. The Insee institute cut its growth forecast for the first half of 2003 but ruled out a recession provided that the war ended by May. The French social affairs ministry said on Friday unemployment had edged up 0.1% to 9.2% in February. There are now 2,343,800 registered unemployed people as the French economy struggles with the global economic slowdown. Meanwhile, EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Pedro Solbes said he still expected the European economy to...

Hi I Am SmokeyWelcome to my establishment!

I just emailed the French Embassy in Washington, and you may reach them at this webpage: http://www.info-france-usa.org/contactus.asp I had to blow off steam at the annoying little foreigners. You may wish to as well. (Please be polite, no cursing or crude language.) I sent them the following, both in proper English and their own barbaric tongue, so that they would have no problem understanding it. You can translate your email for free at http://ets.freetranslation.com/?!&sequence=core&mode=html&template=TextResults2.htm&Language=English/French&SrcText=...

There is a joke going around that France is going to change her Tricolor flag. She is going to remove the blue and red parts, leaving only the white. In fairness, however, the French are not waving the white flag of surrender today. They are standing in defiance—not defiance of Iraqi tyrant Saddam Hussein, or Islamic terrorists, but of America and American interests. In the days following Colin Powell’s masterful presentation at the United Nations Security Council detailing Saddam’s efforts to develop and conceal murderous weapons, the French cobbled together two ad hoc alliances to obstruct the United States’ taking...

French online cheese boutique, Fromage.com, is receiving a raft of e-mails from irate US customers who may like the cheese, but take offence at France’s position on Iraq, in what seems to be the start of an unofficial boycott of French goods, according to a report from Reuters. While American lawmakers are drafting legislation to impose sanctions on French water and wine because of the country’s demand that a case for war against Iraq has yet to be made, and her hawkish columnists are calling France a nation of ‘cheese-eating surrender-monkeys,’ Main Street, USA has stopped ordering French cheese online....

PARIS - France held secret military exercises in order to better prepare for an eventual surrender should they ever be attacked, say officials in the government. The training exercises, which began within days after the September 11 terrorist attacks in America, focused on a coordinated effort between the French government and the military in case they are confronted by the slightest act of aggression by a foreign country. "The policy of of an immediate and unconditional surrender is not left up to chance as many would believe," says Jean-Pierre Le Carche, deputy assistant to the French U.N Envoy. "Every aspect...
