I understand. My buddy actually uses a mixture of cheeses, but he does use Cougar Gold as one of them.

Not exactly related, but prior to the adoption of steam powered railway cars it was widely believed by “experts” that speeds over 20 miles per hour were extremely hazardous to people’s physiology. All sorts of maladies were expected to overcome people who traveled at such incomprehensible speeds. Not from the effects…

I couldn’t say bout the Dill-Garlic, but I’ve tried several of the other ones based on the “Natural Cheddar” cheese. While none of them were bad (I had the “Crimson Fire” and the “Smokey Cheddar” as well as the basic Natural.) none of them are in the same class as the Cougar Gold. Tillamook smoked cheddar and…

A friend of mine makes a beer-cheese soup with it that is to die for with some home-baked bread.

It is the second best thing in the world, and I have four more cans of it aging in my refrigerator. (and about 3/4 of one that I’m slowly eating on) One of them is nearly 5 years old, and it only gets better with age.

Don’t try to tell Grandpa about how to overeat.

I made adult-Mac-n-Cheese for lunch today. I made the macaroni, then melted some of the good stuff into some cream before mixing it back with the pasta and some black pepper.

I’ve heard rumors, but nothing specific.

While I agree, I also want to scream that there isn’t a third season.

I’m perfectly happy with that setup. No clutter. It takes about 5 minutes to get comfortable with the center mounted gauge cluster. You don’t have to move your head to see the speedometer, just glance right. No more distracting than doing a normal head-check. The LCD on the radio is completely readable, not that I…

This is what I’m driving now, and I’m perfectly happy with it.

Here’s hoping you didn’t blow any out your nose.  I know how painful that can be.

I like it, but I want physical controls for pretty much everything.   Particularly heat and air.

I can’t take full credit. I lifted the concept from Terry Pratchett.

I believe the Jamaican style also has vanilla in it.

I hope to be your Dad someday. That’s totally a joke I’d play if I got the opportunity.

I got mine yesterday afternoon.  Direct deposit. I didn’t find out until today, because I wasn’t expecting it.

Awww. Sphinx reminds me of our old cat Ed. We adopted him off the street because he had a terrible skin disease, which we cleared up with better food and flea treatments. He lived with us until we got divorced, when he went to live with my Grandmother because I couldn’t keep him. (I would have in a heartbeat. Same…

Do what I do in social situations: always have some ginger-beer* around. I prefer Cock-n-Bull, but I won’t turn down Bundaberg. Fentimans is also really good. I particularly dislike any ginger-beer labeled “Jamaican style” though. A friend also bought me a 4-pack of Fever Tree ginger-beer, and I didn’t like it either.…

The only really good things about American Beauty were Thora Birch, and Annette Bening slowly trying to cope with her life falling apart. Unfortunately they are both overshadowed by Kevin Spacey’s unsympathetic portrayal of a Nabokovian hero, Mena Suvari’s utterly uninspired “performance,” and whatever the hell Wes…
