A cheese thread on a Rolling Stones fan site? Keith Richards would not approve.
Blue Cheese crumbles on mixed greens with dried cranberries, chopped walnuts (or sesame seeds), balsamic vinegarette dressing. My favorite summer meal.

You know what is too good and tasty? Just picked and sliced apples
(from my apple tree in my backyard) combined with 4 year cheddar.

I never would have guessed those 2 tastes would blend so perfectly.

True, Max. Didn't appreciate the pairing at all years ago.
One apple that goes well in particular is the Jonagold,
probably currently my favorite all-around apple.

YUM!!!!
My apples are golden delicious and they pair perfectly with this great cheddar. I especially like all of this because I planted that tree... and there has only been 2-3 years where she produced this many (1000+)(2000+?) apples.

If anyone is young enough, and you think you might live in the same place for 10+ years, you should plant some kind of bearing tree (or what the heck plant it for the next people) The only thing I do to her is thin out her branches(as best I can). I have NEVER sprayed any chmicals or anything else on her. I just make sure she gets plenty of water.

PS
The White cheese stands alone-
btw- Most people probably know this, but I didnt...
I just realized (learned) this a while back as I was wondering through the cheese section and looking over the packaging of some high end cheeses. I came across two very similar cheddars (my fav cheese)(except for my other fav cheeses) packages.

Both packages were made by the same company, and aged the same, but one was called "Cheddar" while the other was called "White Cheddar".... so I looked at the ingredients... and interestingly enough... the White cheddar had one less ingredient... it DID NOT have "yellow coloring" added.

I thought that is interesting... they have to add yellow color to make it yellow??? Really? Then shouldnt they(we) call it "Yellow Cheddar"... and the "White Cheddar" which has nothing added should be the "Cheddar". I wonder how that all came about?

From what I know, the yellowing is because of some agreement between the Wisconsin and
Vermont dairy farmers, to differentiate one product origin from the other. Could be wrong.

You're absolutely right on the trees. Having no apples, we planted two peach trees last year
but I'm afraid they're susceptible to fungus, so we have to bomb them with copper fungicide
this fall after the leaves fall. If we don't, they'll be dead by as early as next year.

Interesting on the yellow agreement... thanks..

When I was kid our nieghbor had a peach tree that was right by the(our) fence and we used to eat peaches right off the tree... and as I think about it... that peach tree may have been the inpiration to plant my apple tree.

I love Parmigiano Reggiano but hate paying $22 a pound.
