On the way driving back from Minneapolis, I stopped in Cashton, Wisconsin to get cheese. My friend Tori in Minneapolis recommended this place that she went to as a kid in Wisconsin.

Deep in Amish country, the roads were all lumpy with horse drawn plows with 8 belgian draft horses per plow, and folks walking from rural house to house. It was neat to see that part of Wisconsin- way off of any highways or any public transit.

Tori and I are cheese buddies- and Tori did not disappoint! Those curds were made fresh that morning- not even refrigerated- and they were SO squeaky! With every touch on the tooth they would squeak squeak squeak!

The fried curds were delectable! The cheese was bountiful and inexpensive (compared to NYC prices). @alifeeney and I have cheese for at least a few weeks now ;)

(2/2…no…3) The key to the #cheese’s 🧀 outward appearance is the #protein mesh, & the rest is window-dressing.

To make cheese, the #milkproteins are coagulated to form #curds, & these curds are chopped up & pressed to remove 💦 water.

Most #cheeses are aged for 2-24 months, & their structure changes as some of the proteins break down over time. The outcome can vary hugely depending on the number & strength of the bonds holding the #casein mesh together.”

@Nansfruit @natania Go where the good cheese is and you can't go wrong! That's what I think! It's been over a decade since I've been to CA but now that you mention it cheese was not something that stood out!

Wisconsin's cheese is wonderful, perfect for a delicious cheese sauce. 😋 For this reason I am happy to have them as neighbors. Don't get me started on #curds 😆 I love #cheesecurds

The truth is...

Little Miss Muffet had no idea what a "tuffet" was even though the term was used in her eponymous nursery rhyme to describe her posture.
