Homemade baked mac & cheese (really, I made it this time!). Halloween cake for dessert. It's been sitting in the cabinet for a few weeks and my daughter really wanted it. Special treat...and sweet as hell. Ouch.

i just ordered a case of cabot cheddar. amazing deal. i will be making a butt load of mac and cheese this winter.

Last winter I was buying 5 lb blocks of raw cheddar. Now that was yummy... though kind of a waste, so to speak, when heating it to eat anyway.

raw cheddar nice. local farmer?
I was part of a group that bulk ordered from a farm in Pennsylvania. Wasn't bad on price... $32/5 lbs with shipping. Raw cheddar goes for a lot more than that at the local health food stores (though Trader Joe's isn't too bad on price.. but it's also a 45 minute drive and close to 20 miles away for us, thus eating up all savings in gas consumption). That's when I hung out with my hippy mommy friends, as Brian called them. :lol: A few were into Weston A. Price/Nourishing Traditions eating and that's how we got into the raw dairy stuff. It does taste A LOT better. But it'll cost ya...

Cabot cheese is great..I usually just buy the 8 ounce packages at the supermarket for about 3 bucks. On the drive into Stowe I stop at the Cabot store for lots of free samples but I actually spend money in there unlike my college days when I just grazed..I usually buy steeze and crackers for the hotel room and they sell beer and wine as well..The chocolate shop next door is great as well..and I wonder why I always gain weight when I take a ski trip to Stowe..

I've got to run over to my mothers in a little while, but on the way back, I'm going to hit up either whole foods or shoprite and see if they have something to smoke up later....to be continued

It's kind of funny, but I sell some product to high end cheese shops. The heads of those kinds of shops, called Cheese Mongers, while cool guys are definitely snobs when it comes to cheese. Cabot is viewed as schwag and called wax bars. :lol:

Personally, I'm down with Cabot and have a similar back ground as steeze with their store in Waterbury.
