I noted with dismay that the elevated COVID clamp-down here in CA had flushed the hoarders out to COSTCO; they were borderline mobbing the paper products aisle, again.
I DID NOT see anybody rolling out with stax and stax; I think the “Limit 2 per customer” is still in place.
On the upside: ‘tis the season for CHEESE.
I bought some with literary connections:
A sheep’s milk Manchego made in the La Mancha region of Spain; and a blue Stilton from Nottingham, England for my girls who like Thea Stilton’s “Thea Sisters” — a vaguely “Charlie’s Angels”-esque Scholastic book series wherein the main characters are a group of five female mice who get swept into solving mysteries under the guidance of a female investigative journalist.
And I grabbed a wedge of Ashbrook; a raw milk artisan cheese out of a modest 100-cow dairy concern in Vermont.

NOW you’ve done it. I can risk anything but temptation, and this is it.
I’ve never heard of the place but the cheeses sound yummy. I do, however, like Stilton. And Hvarti. (Did I spell that right?)
*sigh*
Maybe next year... :o|
‘’”a raw milk artisan cheese””
That’s tomorrow’s mission sorted out... :)
