Same thing as sourdough. Local yeasts except more of them cultured. Cheese pierced with needles to let air through.

From Wikipedia:
Letter V, dated October 1722. Daniel Defoe in his 1724 work A tour thro' the whole island of Great Britain notes, "We pass'd Stilton, a town famous for cheese, which is call'd our English Parmesan, and is brought to table with the mites, or maggots round it, so thick, that they bring a spoon with them for you to eat the mites with, as you do the cheese."[4]

That might just apply to Limburger. My brother used to snack in the middle of the night and never noticed the maggots in the cheese.

It's Snow Goose day! The clouds have moved in so I can't see them any more but there were four huge flocks heading southeast earlier. I saw a very tiny flock last night, they must have been paving the way for the big push going on today.

Wear a hat and don't look up!

 

[Clementine_3]

Ha! They were not directly overhead and pretty high up there. Otherwise I'd be sure to take your advice!

You can definitely hear them. Very different from a Canada Goose. I had a hunter friend that said they taste like burned rubber.

It's a northern European thing, I guess.
Hot red wine with cinnamon and other herbs and spices.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Well I guess it depends on how cold it is.

Man wins OK to wear goat horns in driver’s license photo

AUGUSTA, Maine — An ordained Pagan priest finally has gotten the OK to sport goat horns in his Maine driver’s license photo.

Maine resident Phelan Moonsong said that unless he’s sleeping or bathing, he always wears his goat horns, which serve as his spiritual antennae and help him educate others about Paganism.
