THAT CHEESE THREAD THING

Okay, look, I've got processed cheese, both Swiss and American.

I've got string cheese. Mozzarella.

I've got shredded cheese, sharp cheddar, and well, I have a good relationship with cheese.

BUT, I'M WONDERING WHAT THE H**L IS GOING ON WITH CHEESE ON THIS FORUM!!!

If you are encumbered with knowledge about cheese, please link me up with the major cheese post. Thank you.

I want to thank you for the thread link in #76. That very much helped me to solidify my understanding of this cheese phenomenon.

I feel that I understand the cheese situation at this point. Be it cottage or some other form, cheese is a good thing.

From now on, when I see replies involving cheese I will be much better prepared to deal with it from a basis of knowledge, rather than confusion. With this great, universal, sometimes even cosmic understanding of the situation, I feel supremely empowered to go forth in the Free Republic world of posts and feel at home with cheese posts.

Once again. Thank you. Thank you all! I'd say more, but I have to go make some nachos. Wadda Yall think about SALSA posts?

I like salsa!

I like salsa!

Me too! I like it most with grated cheese in it.

SHUT UP about the cheese.

"All Your Base" is funny.

Hell, even the Arthur McGowan was a little funny.

Cheese is boring..

So, SHUT UP about the damed CHEESE>

Uh, I think I will now go and have a taste of a new find - horseradish cheese.

Okay, you turned yourself in, and a lot of babes, but I think that was kind of cheesy.

I think I will now go and have a taste of a new find - horseradish cheese.

Does that horse radish have anything to do with the moose that came up earlier? Is there moose radish? I don't know, but now, I'm starting to get confused again. This is unfortunate. Anyway, I hope the cheese is good.

I like salsa from San Antonio.

My wife Peggy thinks it is too hot, and she doesn't like the fact that it gives me gas. But hey, what can I say, I'm a propane salesman.

Thanks again! I was getting panicky.

The Oakville Grocery Store is in Napa Valley--in the heart of the wine country. It looks like a country grocery store (unimpressive). The resemblance to any other grocery store ends there though. They have wonderful things--California wines, naturally, but also many other terrific things cheeses, olives, et al.

Wine is always better when drunk in the lacation in which the grapes were grown. Something wonderful to do is to cruise through Napa, buy provisions at the Oakville Grocery Store--wine, naturally, and other good things--and have a picnic outdoors in the wine country!

I am a man with a very happy palate--thanks in part to your kindness (and cleverness).

Salsa? That's just stupid. It's stupid and it doesn't make any sense at all. Free Republic has been, and will always be ...

Salsa ... puleeze. Glad I could help. ;^)

[mjf]

Okay, about the salsa, I was just kidding!

(But, that stuff from Texas, well it has too much garlic, I think ChiChi's is better.

MAAAAAAACHEEEEEEEEEEEEESEMOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Now that we're entering the cold and flu season, it's time to start thinking about what you're going to do with all that extra snot your body will be creating. As a doctor, I'm always appalled by how much perfectly good snot goes to waste this time of year. And with people in warm climates generating almost no snot of their own, this really is a tragedy.

For my money, no time is better for snot than snack time. And if you're one of those baffling people who's skittish about serving and ingesting actual snot, I've got a substitute that's almost as good as the real thing.

Of course, snot comes in two varieties: Cold, dried snot (also called boogers) and hot, liquid snot (or phlegm). You may have heard the familiar taunt as a child: "You think you're hot snot on a silver platter, but you're really just cold boogers on a paper plate." This month, Dr. Dare will show you how to serve either (or both!) to your holiday guests.

Here's what you'll need:

at least an eight-ounce jar of processed cheese spread green food coloring (I know you saw that coming.) tortilla chips, other dipping items

pretzel sticks

waxed paper

silver platter (if mom says no, any shiny silver-ish metal will do)

paper plate

Hot Snot on a Silver Platter

1) Start by melting the processed cheese spread in the microwave or in a pan on top of the stove, following the directions on the package. Allow it to cool slightly.

2) Carefully stir in about three drops of food coloring. It's important not to get your snot too green. You want it to be as realistic looking at possible.

3) Reheat just before guests arrive.

4) Spoon on to silver platter surrounded by tortilla chips and crackers.

5) Blow your nose often as guests help themselves, apologizing for you cold.

Cold Boogers on a Paper Plate

1) Follow steps one and two above.

2) Dip and twist the end of a pretzel stick into the hot snot. Wait a ten to twenty seconds. Repeat with the same stick.

3) Each time you dip, the booger will get bigger. When you get the size you want, set your booger carefully onto the wax paper with the pretzel sticking up.

4) Create as many boogers as you need.

5) Allow your lumpy boogers to cool (not in fridge) for at least ten minutes.

6) Carefully pull them off the wax paper and arrange them beautifully on a paper plate. If you want, you can remove the pretzel sticks in order to require your guests to actually touch the boogers to eat them.

7) Serve and enjoy.

Can a Doctor say snot?

[Aztech]

Good point! I don't think I have ever heard a Dr. say snot. In other words it was also fecal matter and feces and never the word sh..

[jjbrouwer]

Glad it got the seal of disapproval.

First, regarding post #1, I don't think it's possible to be "linked up with major cheese." We'd all like to meet him, and I suspect those who have are keeping quiet about it.

MY questions are as follows:

Is there Moose cheese? Cat cheese? Squirrel cheese? Vole cheese? Bear cheese? Also, why does the mere mention of the word revive threads without fail? The POWER of cheese. Also...is there a Cheese Bomb? An Anti-Ballistic Liederkrantz Treaty? O.K., cheese me. I've got my tinfoil helmet on. I need all the cheese I can get.
