Now Cutting: Robusto

A Dutch cheese that combines Gouda and Parmesan. Aged less than a year so it has the creamy texture of a young Gouda but a fantastic nutty flavor usually found in aged Goudas. The best of both worlds. One of my favorite snacking cheeses.

I think I speak for the cheese counter dude when I say we would much rather have a nice long cheese chat with a curious customer than get back to whatever dumb work task we’re supposed to be doing.

Honestly, it’s probably just a matter of freshness. A soft cheese made in France will usually taste better in France because it didn’t have to cross the ocean.

Every day I clock in and pray that someone will want to learn about Mimolette.

My Bluesky account is about to get a lot more cheese-centric

FUN FACT: The holes in Swiss cheese (among others) are called eyes.

This was previously a strictly cats account but it may have to become a cheese account as well

Darth I am that cheesemonger and we love it when this happens because we spend a lot of time learning cheese information that no one ever asks about but we want to share it with you all the same.

It almost feels deliberate. Like some low-level officer who doesn’t like the order was tasked with choosing the guardsmen that would get sent so he picked the ones that look least like the Hegseth Ubermensch standard.

He rushes in towards the center, realizes no one is blocking him, and just then sort of hangs out at the two yard line until it’s too late to be of use

“You’re all fat, the president is popular among firefighters, and the military you’ve spent your entire lives building sucked until I showed up. Now get out there and commit some war crimes.”

I was recently watching some John Oliver from 2016 and he is a different person. His face and hair look the same thanks to all the bronzer but the presidential aging is hitting pretty hard everywhere else.

Thank your for the pep talk and I’m pleased to share that the cheese with the coolest name is really good. It’s called The Rattlesnake and it lives up to it.

Seattle is the only non-Astros team that could win the division and I still feel happy for. I blame Jon Bois.

He submitted his resignation in February. The Charlie Kirk stuff is completely irrelevant. This article isn’t totally on the up and up.

I think it’s a consequence of Republicans crying wolf for like 20 years. They said Obama was going to run for a third term even though he was clearly over politics. It wasn’t true then so they can shrug it off as “both sides” when Dems try to talk Trump 2028 hats being worn in the Oval Office.

Do you think Trump won in 2016 because Republicans won over Obama voters with grace and empathy?
