The Forum is in the doldrums

[Boofer]

The winds blow lightly upon the forum.

I find it amazing that with over 8,000 registered members there are so few postings over the past couple weeks.    

Also, if you look at who is online, you always see that there are more guests than members. Perhaps some of the guests would like to join us and add to the conversations.

My bod has been pulling 18 hour days on a grazing operation of 400 cattle.  I'm done tuckered up.

A lot of trappist monks among us cheese makers. They won't break their vow of silence

My cheese cave is full, and it's impolite to talk with one's mouth full!

I have several makes that I have not posted about because I am waiting to open them... 5 different cheeses to open this next Saturday for my daughter's wedding reception. I have to remember to take my camera so I can take pictures of them when I open them. Oh yeah, I guess I will have my camera ready anyway for my daughter and her husband!
Otherwise, only 3 cheeses in the past 3 months. Not very productive in my new retirement. I seem to be busier than when I was working...

It's summer time , people probably have better things to do.

Maybe it will pick up in the fall and winter , when people are indoors more.

Gardening , building , fishing , etc. take more of my time in the summer , I make more cheese in the winter months.

Please do! What cheeses did you make for the wedding?

[H-K-J]

OK! OK! I will post todays Caerphilly (tomorrow)

I have a similar scenario  going on for my son's wedding in October, not part of the reception but by request, from the out-of-towners getting here a day early to visit Disneyland, etc...a cheddar will be ten months old, a Gouda will be a year old, and I plan a Caerphilly to be ripening around then.

Yes! Let's see photos!

Saffron Hispanico, asiago, gouda, cheddar and vaca al vino. I am nervous about some of them. But we will soon know!

Been on a low cholesterol diet so no cheese allowed.

Might be due to the -3% drop in US GDP ?  Sorry but that's the best excuse I could come up with.

You, sir, are walking on thin ice. Consider this your first and only warning

He must be a home-brewer posing as a home-cheesemaker

Well , in my defense , I did say "people" , not "professional cheese makers".
