Daily Dose

Is it just me or does social media seem to have an overabundance of grievance?

Since the beginning of this year I have endeavored to be a better person.  Not a Mother Theresa - just better.  And as a consequence I truthfully don't have very many grievances.  I have opinions; but that's not the same as full-blown grievance.

As a public service and in the interest of spreading positivity on the interweb here are some recent trail camera photos from our woods.  

A daily dose of happiness and cuteness....




Stinky Cheese

It’s True, Limburger Cheese Contains the Same Bacteria as Feet

Surface-ripened, aged, and famously malodorous Limburger is a 19th-century northern European cheese that was traditionally layered between slices of dark bread with raw onions and horseradish (or mustard) and washed down with a frosty beer.   

 

When the sandwich-beer combo came to Green County, Wisconsin, with Swiss and German immigrants, tavern-goers went for it in such a big way that it wasn’t until decades later, when saloons closed during Prohibition, that Limburger sales declined.

America’s lone-remaining Limburger cheese factory is in–you guessed it–Wisconsin! Chalet Cheese Co-op still makes and distributes more than a million pounds of the stinky cheese annually, and you can order an authentic Limburger sandwich at Baumgartner's Cheese Store and Tavern in Monroe.
