I am no cheese connoisseur, so I have very little to add to the topic of the day. I like just about all cheese that I've tried, but I tend not to like as much the heavier, bitter ones.

As for the Topic of the Day...

YUM!!!!

As for favorites - way too many to list - however...

I remember a "dessert" of a chunk of a true Parmigiano-Reggiano that had been drizzled with some aged(!) balsamic vinegar. Truly delicious, and sooooo much more than just "cheese" (drizzled with some aged (expensive) balsamic vinegar).

I like Cheddars, in general, but tend to prefer the Extra Sharp stuff.

As for a Cheese Recipe, well...

My favorite Grilled Cheese Sandwich: Provolone on Rye (seeded).

I also remember an incredibly simple recipe for "Cheese Crisps" from Natalie Durpree (who I guess was the "original" Paula Deen).

-Take a brick of cheese.
-Cut off 1/4-inch thick slices of cheese.
-Place slices on a non-stick cookie sheet.
-Place in a 350 degree oven.
-Cook until "crisp".

It's basically an oven-version of Frico Crisps which are usually done with Parmigiano-Reggiano and/or Pecorino Romano. -Just grate some cheese into a nonstick skillet, and cook over low heat until crisped. Just the cheese, and nothing but the cheese.

Good morning. I like cheese. That is all.

I like Jack Cheese, muenster, American, Edam, Brie. Not that fond of swiss or sharp cheddar.

Heading down now to check the mail so I can get today's viewing schedule set. Then, I'll start thinking about what's for lunch.

I should be able to report back. They are basically just running through the production numbers.

-Should I expect to see your landlady there?

Two long, skinny plastic bags (from the newspapers), another plastic bag with a drawstring, a yard of Saran Wrap, and about a mile of cloth tape.

What has Ginny been doing this morning?

BK, as I mention in my review of Mannix, listen to the abominable (though to be fair, long pre-ProTools) edit of the music over the final credits on each episode. Yikes!

DS Zach's best friend is a lad named Max, whose step-Daddy works for Nick Park (some of Park's stuff is done here in Portland at Will Vinton Studios, though that's not widely advertised). He has some cool models at their house resting upon the mantle.

I thought of BK yesterday whilst watching the execrable Nickolodeon "film" 'Roxy Hunter and the Mystery of the Moody Ghost.' The young girl playing Roxy, Aria Wallace (who is evidently being groomed to be the next Miley Cyrus), is completely and utterly incomprehensible throughout the movie. Does no one know how to speak properly anymore?

Tomorrow is the day of the Tony Awards Show! That will be fun! I should print out my ballot and start with my predictions.....even though everything I know about ANY of the shows, I learned here on HHW....for the MOST part.

Tomorrow is also the first round of auditions for SINGING IN THE RAIN, which I will be attending.

That is the title of my new self-help book. EVERYTHING I KNOW I LEARNED HERE ON HHW.

Ah, Ginny, I picture you sitting there like James Stewart in REAR WINDOW, with binoculers in one hand and you posting online with the other.

Comfort and recovery vibes to you!

How can there be any "sin" in "sincere,"
Where is the "good" in "good-bye?"
