Afterthoughts - Getting my cheese fix in week 6

Welcome to another week in review here at Cheese Cheese Everywhere!

This is week 6.  I was going to put together a list of other things that lasted 6 weeks, but when I Googled that, all that came up were articles about pregnancy.  So, moving on..

This week’s schedule was all thrown off.  Captain Cheese had family visiting from out of town last weekend.  They were supposed to stay until Tuesday but ended up leaving Monday because of bad weather.  The Captain was then able to post Monday’s review on Monday but it was late so most people didn’t see it until Tuesday.  Then Wednesday’s post went up on Thursday and Friday’s recipe review only went up last night.  Now, I’m doing the review post today, when it’s supposed to go up on Saturday but has somehow morphed into a post-at-some-point-on-the weekend-thing.  

Not to worry, I do have a cheese to review for later today, and I was able to purchase ingredients for recipes for the next 3 weeks.  So we should be back on track!

On to last week in cheese…

Monday: Manchego (solid choice, and not just because it’s firm)
Wednesday (Thursday):  Ski Queen (Gjetost) (I’m still just as confused by this one, I honestly don’t understand it)
Friday (Sunday):  Copycat Panera Broccoli Cheese Soup (Wow)

To come back to Wednesday’s Norwegian cheese for a moment, I would like to add the following comments from the Phantom, which are pretty much in line with my feelings about Ski Queen…

Haha, no. I do not. It doesn't taste like cheese should taste! It's like if cheese and fudge had an unholy union and the result is this weird brown-ish "cheese".”

Cheese in the news


While I’m not familiar with the brand in question, I thought this was a really weird story.  Ridiculous is one word used to describe the situation and I would agree with that.  I’m sure there are many different ways that this discussion could be taken (sexism, the effect of marketing on children, etc, etc) but I’ll just say that cheese should be equal and available to all!  

And finally, words to live by…



Stay cheesy!
Captain Cheese
