here's some cheese for yu



Humboldt Fog

Region of Origin: Humboldt County, California
Notes: Humboldt Fog, created by Mary Keens at Cypress Grove Chevre in McKinleyville, California, is named after Humboldt County's thick morning fog. It's an American original. Mary Keens started crafting goat cheeses in the 1980's and helped lead the American artisanal cheesemaking revolution. Humboldt Fog is a gorgeous wheel of goat's milk cheese with a clean, lemony, lactic taste which becomes earthier and mustier with age. Cut open the pillowy bloomy rind to find bright white, smooth paste, bisected with a thin line of black vegetable ash.

Bleu du Bocage

Region of Origin: The Vendée, in Western France
Notes: A blue goat? Oh, man. My mind was flown when I first tried this one. This cheese is aged for several months, but retains a stunning delicateness. Slice it open and find a bright white, moist paste, laced with a grayish-green blueing. Like ice cream(!): sweet under a bit of earthiness, milky, and fabulously luscious. Bleu du Bocage doesn't just taste like blue; it tastes like meaty, toasty, clean cheese, spiked with a perfect dose of sharp salitiness as a wonderful footnote.
Serve: Made for a Riesling with a touch of sweetness, or a great Port, or Moscato. Crazy good with a piece of bittersweet chocolate. Or toss in a salad with candy walnuts and peppery greens.

A WORLD-FAMOUS goat, who has become a social media star after he beat a court case for munching on a Sydney flower bed, has come to the Territory with a video camera strapped to his horns and wants to play a comedy gig at your local pub.

His chaperone, comedian Jimbo Bazoobi, bought Gary for a carton of Emu Export beer in Western Australia three years ago.

Gary the goat walks free from court after beating flower-eating rap







A flower-eating goat named Gary has been cleared of vandalism after an Australian judge dismissed the case at a court in Sydney.
His owner Jim Dezarnaulds had been ordered to pay a 440 Australian dollar (£290) fine after Gary was spotted snacking on a flower bed outside the city’s Museum of Contemporary Art.
The case was dismissed however, after a judge ruled that neither Gary nor his owner could be held accountable for the crime.
Magistrate Carolyn Barkell said there was no evidence that Gary, who had his own lawyer, had been brought there to intentionally eat the flowers.





‘This is actually an abuse of the laws of nature, I mean it was a goat eating grass,’ Mr Dezarnaulds said after the verdict was announced.
‘I’m a comedian, I can come up with jokes, but it’s pretty hard to compete with cops coming up with this stuff.
‘It’s obviously a joke, but the fact that we’re here it’s gone a bit beyond a joke.’





Gary, who was not required to give evidence, did not comment on the verdict upon leaving court.
Mr Dezarnaulds added: ‘Gary taught the cops a valuable lesson and that’s don’t bite off more than you can chew.’
Gary became an internet star after news of his plight went viral, with his official Facebook page racking up over 10,000 likes.

I'm a rabbit.

^ My year....unfortunately that also means that I am turning 60 this year...

So we should call CNF60.










It's OK CNF55, I'm working on a machine to stop all clocks so we never get any older, as I'm 60 next year, so I will have to work quickly

I was 50 18 months ago. Still say i am 49. In my wee brain cell it just seems younger. Obviously i don't look over the age of 19. In houses without mirrors.

I remember being 39 for a few years as well. And 29.. for at least five.

My mum is 85 and still thinks she is younger, bless her. And good on her, still driving the car etc.

But perhaps the fact she is going to be a Great Granny in a couple of months may slow her down.

And me a great auntie.

And the funniest one is my sister - Granny!!!

Who doesn't at one point lie about their age?

When I first came to Thailand in 2002, I would tell the girls I was 21, I stop 3 years ago as the girl stop beleaving me, now I tell them I'm 22, 555
