It's really nice but it isn't much like cheddar! The same people do a White Stilton with mushrooms and garlic. That's great with fruit cake, too.Pat Posnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024751148905919332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-71846138850979435172009-03-03T09:35:00.000-08:002009-03-03T09:35:00.000-08:00Cait, when we were in Ireland last, I bought a pos...Cait, when we were in Ireland last, I bought a poster of Irish Cottages at a tourist shop for hardly any money, brought it home, and had it framed for lotsa money. It hangs on our study wall and is beautiful beyond words. Many different views in one poster. I went to the company site, and found it in case you might like to order one for yourself.<BR/><BR/>http://picturepress.ie/irish_cottages_poster<BR/><BR/>It is a wee bit different than mine, with some pictures the same, and a few added. It is also a little pricier, but hey, I bought mine in 1992!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-58372331381577393982009-03-02T15:48:00.000-08:002009-03-02T15:48:00.000-08:00In this part of the world Tasmanian and King Islan...In this part of the world Tasmanian and King Island cheeses are the best.

I sometimes wonder what my list would be - but then I think it changes each time I ask myself the question. My luxury would have to be my laptop though. And a wireless signal!

I use my imagination, and fancy that the rooms we still use in this house {same house we raised our family in, and too big now}... I make believe those rooms, are all there is to the house. And it's thus, really a cottage!!! ,-)<BR/><BR/>Sorry you had to fight off a rant on something. -sigh- I know the feeling!!!! :-( Congratulations to you, for so doing though!!! <BR/><BR/>I now have to keep all "News" out of my mind. Unlike the past, when I keep totally immersed in it. Now, my blood pressure just won't allow it. So... I can't anymore and that's that. <BR/><BR/>Yummmmmmmm, to the slice of cake and cheese!! In this house, we have Apple Pie with Sharp Cheddar Cheese. :-)<BR/><BR/>Oh do tell us of books. I love to find reading ideas, in blogs. <BR/><BR/>And I must look up info on "Self-Reiki"! If it gives restful, deep, dreamless sleep, that's for me!! I'll do a Search on it, and perhaps you'll direct us to a book on it? Or a tape? <BR/><BR/>Good luck in the rugby match!!
