Yesterday we went to the Cheeseshop of Centerbrook here in CT. We don't
get to that area often and this is the first visit this year, but the
staff still remembered us.
http://cheeseshopofcenterbrook.com/

They have an unbelievable selection of cheeses as well as some meats and
other specialties. We walked out with about 5 pounds of cheeses,
including two of my favorites, Cotswold and Coastal Cheddar. We also
bought some Serrano ham, prosciutto, and salami.

No cheese shops here. There is one in Edmonds and they are quite nice. I was
never able to buy anything though. The few times I went in, it was on a hot
day, I had no ice in my cooler and I wasn't going straight home or any place
with a fridge.

The best place to get cheese over here would probably be Costco. I don't think we have any cheese shops on the rock.

Costco has good cheese and good prices but you have to buy so much at a
time!

We buy at BJs, pretty much the same as Costco. I can buy 12 ounce packs
of Cabot cheddar. If that is too much, cut it, wrap well to keep air
out and it will last months.

I just renewed my Costco membership two weeks ago. It had not been used
since 2011. There are only two of us here, and a lot of the stuff is
packaged in quantities much larger than we are likely to us. Regular
grocery stores have the option of smaller sizes if you want to sample
something without getting a lot of it. However, my wife eats a lot of
cheese and there are some that she likes that Costco sells that are not
in the preparing for Armageddon size, like Brie and Oka.

Being a recent convert to Almond milk, I get the six packs of the shelf
stable stuff. I also picked up bags of individually wrapped sole and
rainbow trout fillets.

I'm off to Costco today to get some cambozola. I want to spread it on
the Chocolate Cherry Sourdough Bread that I am making tomorrow. We
don't have a problem with the larger amounts of cheese except for
parmesan. I do have to cut that and freeze a portion.

I had to look Oka up as I had never heard of it. It sounds like
something I would really like. Maybe it will show up in the Christmas
offerings at Costco.

We've given them the ability to manufacture our highest quality, most important, electronic goods. Who has a smartphone that's not made in China? Nobody. America, OTOH, can make washing machines like nobody's business.

Yet somehow Whirlpool needs trade tariffs to protect their whopping 35%

https://www.fxstreet.com/analysis/ta...o-201710051803

Whirpool bitched to the Trump administration and the International Trade
Commission about unfair pricing on Samsung and LG-brand washing machines.

The ITC panel ruled U.S. washing machine makers hurt by South Korean
imports, so your price is guaranteed to go up.

The U.S. International Trade Commission on Thursday found that imports
of large residential washing machines were harming domestic producers,
in a major step the imposition of duties or quotas on foreign-made
Samsung- and LG-brand washers.

The case, brought by U.S. appliance giant Whirlpool Corp, asked the ITC
to recommend to President Donald Trump €œglobal safeguard€� restrictions
on imported washing machines to stop South Korean rivals Samsung
Electronics Co Ltd and LG Electronics Inc from flooding the U.S. market
with cheap washers.

The commission, which voted 4-0 in finding that large residential
washers were being imported in such quantities to create injury to
domestic producers, will recommend remedies by Dec. 4 to Trump, who is
expected to make a final decision by early next year.

Crony Capitalism

The ITC ruling will not save a single US job. But it will drive up costs
on US consumers.

When corporations cannot compete, they bitch. They also pad the pockets
of politicians so the politicians see things their way.

Oka cheese is lovely. It has a very delicate flavour. We can get it on
special here (south-east Ontario) occasionally.

No BJs or Cabots here. I think Costco cheese is usually around 5 pound
blocks or bigger. Let me check. Yep. Blocks of cheddar are 5 pounds but you
can get 40 pounds. Sliced cheese is often a 1.5 oz package. We can easily go
through a 12 oz. block. One problem with a bigger block is that it can be
hard to cut into and just deal with in general. And I like to keep a variety
of cheeses. We do probably eat more cheddar than anything though.

I wish I could buy cheese ends here. Used to be able to at Albertsons. I
like to make a pasta dish with assorted cheeses. Toss in a lot of little
cubes and chunks of assorted cheese. Whatever leftover veggies, some form of
tomato product. Last time I added cooked ground beef. I used to dampen it
with red wine because we always had a ton of wine in the house. Everyone
loves this dish because each bite is slightly different. I do have wine left
over from tonight's pot roast. Will make this again soon.

I mostly shop at the business Costco now. They sell some things that the
regular stores don't. Great for single serve things and those serve me well.
So many people in and out of here at times and those are great for on the
go. Stuff like packages of cheese crackers, cookies, granola bars, nuts...

Does your store get the cheese bomb at Christmas? I believe it is cheddar,
wrapped in black wax and looks like a bomb. Always a big hit here.

Hi Julie, generally cheese freezes well so you can cut the block down
and double ziploc it for 6 months or more. Softer cheeses don't freeze
as well but your standard cheddar and such do.

Wow, that sounds dumb to me. I can see maybe a 2# piece but 5 is too
much for most of us. BJ's has a display case loaded with a variety of
cheeses from about 12 oz to 2 pounds. I think they do have sliced
American in the 5# box but I'm not interested in that,

No, I've never seen that one, but, in the weeks before Christmas
cheese comes and goes so fast that if you didn't pick it up when you
saw it your chance is gone. I've had a friend call me to say she saw
such and so cheese this morning when she shopped and I go in the
afternoon and it is gone. Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye
out.

that must be just at the business Costco. Cheese is available in 2
places in my store. One place is just the upper end cheeses and those
packages are less than a pound to maybe 2.5 pounds max. The other
aisle has 2.5 to maybe 5 pound packages of name-brand cheese. Nothing
larger here.

I just picked up a block of Cabot 3 year cheddar at Costco on
Thursday. It weighs 2.09 pounds.

Online is probably a different story but I don't buy food like
that online.

Lucky you!

Got no Costco within 100 mi. Best I can do, hereabouts, is Tillamook Extra Sharp
White (aged 2 yrs). Even that was "unavailable" fer an entire year.

We've got a local goat farm that sells cheese. Their "goat cheddar"
is lucky if it see 6 mos and is still terrible (IMO). 8|

It's beautiful where you live but not close to so many stores.

I've gotten used to having Costco within a reasonable driving
distance. I know they aren't as common everywhere.

Bummer, it sounded good for a second but too bad their cheese
isn't good. It's not the kind of thing I'd like to mail order,
either. Would probably cost a fortune to ship.

Too true! Gotta suffer, some, to live in this country.

I gave up my membership in CA, when a Costco was close.

When I still had $$, I ordered some Cabrales from Spain. I think the
shipping was almost $65USD (or perhaps that was the entire bill).

And if you're like me, getting sick and tired of paying for it...to say
nothing of the ingratitude of those whose lands we protect.

I'm pointing that smack at the younger S. Koreans, btw.

They can feel free to take over the DMZ and the rest of their security

Wow, intense for sure.

Beats me why the younger generation wants to own that mess when they
have us to handle it for them.

Those Koreans down South are the wildest and craziest Asians ever but it's not in our interest that they be taken over by Uncle Un.

I made some chili last night. It's the same as most people's chili except for 2 things. First, it was made with a roux base. Hamburger was browned and flour was sprinkled on top and mixed in with the fat. Make sure to fry the hamburger until the water is evaporated first. You can tell because it starts to splatter. Stir and fry the mix until the oil is absorbed by the flour. Then add your liquids.

Secondly I used about a third of a cup of Korean pepper powder. The results are just great.

100% agreed.

If no one else will do it we have to.

A few less protests would be nice.
