 DS> I like goat cheese.

So do I on occasion. I just discovered the last remnants of the
cheese Ray brought over when he delivered the roasted garlic. There
wasn't a lot left so I mixed up one part cheese with one part each
roasted garlic, butter and spicy mayo to make a cracker spread. Wow,
what a great combination!  

 DS> I wonder if Zim would like playing with a goat?

If you got a kid he would probably adopt it and protect it. If you
got a full grown goat, it's hard to say how they would interact.

I remember your adventures with old booze when you took over the
house, so I thought you might enjoy this news article:

Whisky on (Antarctic) ice

CAPE ROYDS, Antarctica:  This spit of black volcanic rock that juts
out along the coast of Antarctica is an inhospitable place. But if
you happen upon the small wooden hut that sits at Cape Royds and
wriggle yourself underneath, you'll find a surprise stashed in the
foot and a half of space beneath the floorboards. Tucked in the
shadows and frozen to the ground are two cases of Scotch whisky left
behind 100 years ago by Sir Ernest Shackleton after a failed attempt
at the South Pole.

Polar explorers of that era relied on their alcohol of choice to
help them and their crews through the long Antarctic nights and
insomnia-inducing days. And Shackleton knew a thing or two about
being well prepared for an adventure. So it's no surprise that he
brought 25 crates of Scotch with him when he set off on an
expedition to the South Pole in 1907.

Shackleton turned around 97 miles short of his destination. When the
ship arrived in 1909 to pick the men up, they left their supplies
behind in their hut, including reindeer sleeping bags, tins of
boiled mutton and bottled gooseberries. And, as we now know, they
also abandoned two cases of Charles Mackinlay & Co. whisky.

So what will century-old, Antarctic-iced Scotch taste like?

Cheers

YK Jim
