Unless one is catering a party why would they buy so many *pounds* of
cheese.... a two pound block of cheese would become moldy before any
normal human could eat it all. I buy cheese no more than 1/2 pound at
a time and no more than two kinds at a time and then the two of us
barely finish it and sometimes the last begins to mold so the critters
get some. Cheese is not something I stock up on, since it's sold
daily I only buy what we can consume within a week or less.

My wife will be coming home today, her son is driving her as she's
still not capable of driving the three hour trip. They decided on my
12 ounce burgers for dinner tonight so they are defrosting now. They
will be bringing the hard rolls among other items we can't buy here.
Since her son likes cheese burgers yesterday I bought a half pound of
sliced Land O' Lakes white American yesterday (he prefers white,
doesn't believe the yellow is anneto). The half pound is more than
enough, maybe cheese omelets the next day.

Anyway my wife is already able to drive but still only short
distances, maybe just a half hour before stiffness sets in from being
in one position so long. Her doctor said that stiffness will go away
after three months as everything inside heals. Outside she only has
very small scars and those will also fade in time. She loves her new
knees, she says her knees feel like they did at sixteen. She told
everyone she wasn't coming home with a walker and she's not.
