German Hirtenkase Reserve
Another small morsel from Whole Foods on the cheese board was a German cheese, Hirtenkase Reserve. This “herdsman” cheese is traditionally handmade in the mountain regions of Southern Germany.

Proof At Last…
At last, proof that I, Spaulding Gray, your favorite Feline Foodie, do indeed personally dictate my blog to The Lady who then uploads it to the Internet because this Cheese Great can’t work the keyboard… Photo Courtesy of The Man.
The Wisconsin Cheese Plate
Reviewed by Guest Critic, The Man The Wife (aka The Lady to all of you) made a wonderful homemade Italian Bean and Pasta soup yesterday with sweet Italian sausages, made fresh at the Hawthorne Fred Meyer in Portland.
