Huh. I always considered myself at least a little snobbish about cheese, and I think there's plenty of fine cheese to be had made in California. Also, I'm on a big "buy local" kick, so I'm eschewing any cheese not made in California.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think it might have a lot to do with what you're used to. It doesn't seem right to prefer Wisconsin Monterrey Jack to the stuff that actually comes from Monterrey.

I didn't even know cheese was a California "thing" until I was there and saw happy cows.

Awww, you can't go dissing on all the California cheeses. We've got quite a few very good small artisan cheese makers around here.

At intermission of my second show.
Starting to freak out a little bit at the prospect of moving again in the next month. Luckily, I never really unpacked from last January's move. Must either find new job with massive income or find new roommate(s).

The status is NOT quo.
I'm in line at the Ontario airport. So much less crazed than LAX!

Sadly, I will be at LAX on Christmas day. That will be fun.

On the upside, I'm going home!!

Actually, I imagine Christmas day is less crazy than most other holiday travel days. And yes, yay home!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Christmas day usually isn't too bad - except when you are going to Hawaii and some family wants to make the whole plane sing christmas carols.
I've had some amazing cheeses here - and I really do prefer an aged VT cheddar if I can get it. but for soft cheeses in I really love Rouge et Noir in Marin
In the past I have sent it as christmas gifts

Heh, S made the same point, Hec. I suppose it's fair to be snobby about California cheese, but just tasting supermarket cheese is kind of unfair.
