@marius @bd I’d love to try different varieties. Ski queen is the one I’ve had too. Got it at Sigonas. It’s pretty salty too!

@marius important research question. Does your family in Norway eat Gjetost cheese? If so, with that? Asking for a Norwegian American cheese lover

[Kirstin Jackson @itsbrieblog]

@marius I love it! I grew up eating it with 🍏, but tried it just with butter on dark bread today. So good. @bd hates it because he has a bad palate, very sad. Now I’ll try it both ways you suggest!

@amykatherine @bd He’s a shih tsu Maltese mix with a touch of mini poodle and bijon thrown in for fun. But oh my God he destroys rope toys like a terrier!

Last time Japan hosted the Olympics in 1964, "The French government airlifted a whole cargo-load of cheese just to help the athletes feel at home." Now, they don't have to.

Back from Japan! Next, want to visit this cheesemaker in Switzerland where they've been using the same recipe since 1548 and have a 120 yr-old cheese in the cellar. Will accept tickets to Geneva. https://t.co/FmAQ9Q14Ul

"“We’ve been producing cheese for thousands of years and alcohol for tens of thousands,” Dr. Gibbons said. “Now we have a window into history in terms of what early humans wanted out of microbes.” The coolest geekiest sentence ever.

"Officials want to limit automatic eligibility for families that already receive other federal public assistance. The federal SNAP income limit is 130% above the poverty line; that’s $33,475 for a family of four." Not okay.
