Hi Michael,

 ML> But with the extra sharp, you don't need the extra, which comes
 RH> We like the extra cheesieness. I did the same Tuesday for lunch, then

 ML> Funny thing was that Dave the Sac took me to a buffet yesterday -
 ML> restaurant called Zoe's, about 45 minutes north in Easthampton,
 ML> Mass. I had my fill of raw oysters (kept eating them until two

Out of concern for my immune system, I do't eat raw oysters.  I've had
quite a few steamed ones in the past few months tho. (G)  The usual
drink with them has been sweet tea for me, unsweet for Steve.

 ML> and surprise, the best thing was "cheesy mashed potatoes," which
 ML> was like the inside of a twice-baked, i.e., mashed with an almost
 ML> equal proportion of sharp Cheddar.

Sounds yummy, especially if the cheese was a good one.

 ML>   Before I heated them, I cut up some
 RH> deli ham into it, after heating, added some slices of Swiss and nuked
 RH> it a few more seconds, then stirred it into one big mess of cheesiness.
 RH> It was good. (G)

 ML> Sounds like a Carol sort of recipe.

Well, that is my middle name. (G) Honest!

 ML> opened the cheese and discovered that despite aging for a couple
 ML> years, it was still not extra sharp and still had the bland
 RH> Probably a change in their formulation.

 ML> My point was rather that two years of aging had performed no
 ML> magic on the supposedly sharp Cracker Barrel.

That'll teach you to leave cheese around for 2 years.  It wouldn't last
that long in our house.

BTW, in reference to one of your other notes (regarding leaving a tie in
your jacket pocket & what a tie is)--our pastor in HI referred to a tie
as a "mainland disguise". If you were wearing one to church, people knew
you'd not been in HI very long.  We're readjusting our mind set to
having to dres up  bit more for church again than we did over there.


 ML> It's going to be a scorcher today -

 ML> Agua Fresca
 ML> cat: beverage
 ML> Yield: 1 qt

Nice way to cool off.  I'm making eggplant parmesain for supper; one of
the ladies in our Sunday School class gave us an eggplant on Sunday.
Fresh blueberry cobbler for dessert.

Catch you later,
