I was on vacation so I guess I missed this Cheese day event. :)

One of my all time comfort foods is American cheese on top of wonder bread & baked in the oven. Old school cheese toast!
Best American cheese? No doubt. Tillamook from Oregon. Cabot, from Vermont a close second.
Ugh! LOL! That’s exactly how I feel about getting in a hot tub, or soaking in a bubble bath.
I want the germs, sweat, dirt and grime OFF of me - I don’t want to marinate in it! ;)
I don’t believe that, either.
It’s probably ‘Velveeta processed cheese food.’ Ugh!
Proving once again that there is a Seinfeld quote for every topic you can name! :)
“Emmentaler...’
We have to travel about 45 minutes to find that. Yum!
Monroe, WI is a ‘Cheese Hub’ here in Wisconsin. :)

Monroe also has an awesome outlet store for Swiss Colony - but it’s the really, REALLY good stuff - not the regular stuff in their catalog. :) In high school my sister worked there during the summers. She’d come home with her bra packed with parsley or paprika or chopped nuts - whatever they were making on the line that day, LOL!

Carr Valley Cheese is also awesome. We have that in Mineral Point which is closer to us than Monroe.
Their ‘Bread Cheese’ is amazing, and while I don’t like Goat’s Milk Cheese as a rule, their Cocoa Cardona is my ONE exception.

“Cabot, from Vermont a close second.”
From time to time I actually BUY the Cabot ‘Seriously Sharp White Cheddar.’ It is SO good!
Of course, being in Wisconsin, I have to do that under cover of darkness... ;)
Yes, I thought the thread was going to turn into a muenster. But turns out just a few folks shootin’ the bries.
So far so gouda.
If any day has the potential for a complete meltdown, it would be National Cheese Day.
I don’t see a shred of evidence of that happening, but there’s Stilton time.
When I was 9 or maybe 10 (at scout camp), I remember making white bread toast (probably Wonder Bread, but maybe, just maybe, Merita bread) over the campfire and adding American cheese to it. Still one of my favorite memories of scouting.
Merita is still my all-time favorite bread, and if I find it at the grocery, I buy it! Something special about that bread! Of course, I can’t find it in the Midwest. So far, I only find Merita when I’m in the South. So when I’m south of the Mason-Dixon Line, I actively hunt for it at grocery stores.
It’s amazing how strong memories are. They stay with you. We live in the south & I’ve never heard of that bread. Now I’m going to scope it out!
I do like cabot -
I have found it in Tennessee and N. Carolina so far. I have about a third of a loaf in my freezer right now. I use it for special occasions. Last time, I made grilled ham and cheese on it. That was just a few weeks ago, when it was still fresh.
Before I had this last batch, I pulled out my last 4 pieces of the previous loaf, which had been carefully wrapped and was almost year in the freezer. Still so good!! Not kidding. If I am anywhere near where Merita is sold, I will find it! There’s just something special about it.

You made it worth the wait!
