Here’s a short video on cheese knives from chow.com:
There is a better one at MarthaStewart.com but I can’t embed it here…

How to Make Fromage Blanc
I found this video online made by Foodbuzz* Featured Publisher, Chef John, that teaches you how to make fresh Farmer’s Cheese aka Fromage Blanc. The ingredients follow the video:
Ingredients:
1 quart fresh, local whole milk
1 cup active-culture buttermilk
2 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar, more if needed
3/4 tsp salt, or to taste

DPI: Spaulding Gray is Calling You Out
As most of you know by now, this feline foodie says what’s on his mind…but I was surprised to learn that DPI had blocked my blog from viewing by its employees…
I understand the concept of internet filters but what could I have possibly said that offended DPI’s filter or was of such a sexual nature to get gnarled up in their content web?
So I reviewed a few of my entries and wonder which of these comments caught the attention of “the man” in IT:
Was it:
Referring to why Monks invented so many good cheeses, wines and liqueurs: “…here’s a news flash…when you give up sex; there’s nothing left but eating and drinking.”
Maybe this was the one:
Recounting a conversation with The Brain about living with The Lady: “…the bad news was “she’s gonna chop off your balls”.
Perhaps calling the 535 Members of Congress “Rat Ass Bastards” went over the line, regardless of the truthfulness of the statement (The Lady’s feelings, certainly not mine…)
Maybe it was the “Who Cut the Cheese” video clip from Two and a Half Men. Fart jokes seem to delight most humankind males and offend humankind females…this feline foodie’s observation is it has to do with DNA.
Was it revealing that The Lady think Camillo Villegas, a young pro golfer, has a “cute butt”?
It might have been my empathic statement about Copernicus, the “randy” billy goat owned by at Amy, Queen of Cheese, when I stated, “Personally, I understand the dilemma that Copernicus faced – getting laid immediately (strong incentive for any male) or the possibility of the vet neutering you and never getting laid again…what’s a guy to do???”
Hmmm…maybe I do deserve to be censored…nope…I just call em as I see em…
Call your Congressman, a member of the 535 Rat Ass Bastard Club…according to The Lady, and ask them to pass a Bailout Bill for this feline foodie. Better yet, call DPI and tell them to let Spaulding Gray back in the house…

My Favorite Cheese Videos
Being grounded doesn’t curtail my internet use and gives me more time to explore. I decided to check out YouTube.com and see what kind of fare it had to offer in the area of cheese videos.
Here are a few I found that struck my fancy:
“Who Cut the Cheese” from Two and a Half Men, a sitcom that The Lady and The Man watch and LTAO…it is a funny show. As you might guess The Man also thinks this is a funny video, humankind men in general find this humor more appealing than the humankind women:
Bud Light Wine and Cheese Party Commercial:
“You Sexy Thing”:
The Copper HIll Cheese Roll, 2008.
The English who gave us Caerphilly, Hard Goat Cheddar and Benny Hill sure have a strange concept of a fun Sunday afternoon stroll in the park:
and what cheese video blog would be complete without the classic Monty Python Cheese Shop Sketch:
