Is that sharper than New York Sharp?................
Yep...sharp as you can get short of small batch designer cheese.
I can tell you that if you put a few slices on scrambled eggs and toast that cheese under a broiler, its breakfast heaven.The cheese turns a delightful light brown.
I used to love the Bandon flavored cheddars, especially jalapeno or French onion. Usually kept a block of one or the other in my fire pack.
I haven’t tried the new Bandon cheese yet either. Many years since I’ve been up that way.
No cheese....but have everything for potato pancakes...w/ sour cream of course...
I picked up some smoked cheddar slices at one of those cash-only national chains yesterday. Tasty!
Not much call for that around here, I’m afraid.................
Heh... I also looked at the Brie and Camembert which were adjacent.
Long live the state of Jefferson!
Maybe the 1941 version. The 2016 version has too much California in it.
So that is why I am rooting for Jefferson County. JC was a real thing that was on
it’s way to becoming a reality - but the Second World War disrupted the process,
and it never resumed after the war.
I really liked the southern Oregon coast, though most of the time I spent there was as a Forest Service firefighter in Curry County in the late 70s. A good friend of mine from back then still lives in Douglas County, on the Umpqua River near Reedsport.
Oregon’s definitely way left, thanks mostly to Portland and Eugene, and I don’t see that changing soon. I had enough rain when I was up there anyway, so when I retired we stayed in Arizona.
The State (not County) of Jefferson is a nice fantasy, but it’ll never happen, any more than Greater Idaho.
OK, you caught that before I posted my comment. Figured you knew better, but mistakes do creep in.
Anyway, I hope you find a great spot for retirement, wherever it might be. I had been thinking about NW Arkansas, but my wife wanted to stay in AZ, so we compromised by staying in AZ. We’re living about half a mile from where she lived before we got married, in fact.
”…way left, thanks mostly to Portland and Eugene”
”… stayed in Arizona…”

Small world.
I’ve been to Reedsport, I’ve done business with folks in Portland a number of times,
lived in Springfield (across the Umpqua river from Eugene),
lived in Phoenix for a number of years, but I’ve never been to Idaho - but I’ve flown over it.
Born and raised in Portland myself. Went to school in Eugene for a few years in the 70s, but finished my B.Sc. in Corvallis in 1985. (BTW, Springfield is across the Willamette River from Eugene, not the Umpqua.)
I never wanted to live in Phoenix. Driving through the area is bad enough. We now live in Pima County (I know, I know), but at least we’re not actually in Tucson.
.
I knew that of course, (my cup of coffee had just arrived, I’ll be fine…)
And are you saying that Tucson is bad?
I’ve drivin to there for dinner once, never lived there or did anything
of consequence there.
Decades ago we were bored so - “I’ve never been to Tucson, let’s go
have dinner there! It’s only an hour away, or so…”
So we did. I forget what restaurant it was. I had a steak…
I am currently (for several years now) am in Brick, New Jersey - which is central coastal NJ.
Not that bad a place, really - for NJ anyway.
But I consider this just a temporary ‘waystation’…
For a city, Tucson isn’t that bad, but it is a city. And the local and county governments are quite leftist. We live out west of town, though, so we don’t have to deal with the traffic and such every day.
I hear there are actually quite a few nice places in NJ, but I’ve never been to any of the northeastern states, and not likely to. One of my nephews got married in Philadelphia, but we didn’t go.
.
One negative thing I remember about Phoenix was New Year’s Eve,
when lots of people would shoot guns straight up in the air at midnight.
Don’t people realize that the bullets will come straight back down
at the same velocity? (Crazy, stupid….)
