Thank you, Argyle, for then fine review.<br /><br />I got this done on Tuesday morning, but was in class all day and never got to log in. So, Here I am.<br /><br />Liked the puzzle and theme.<br /><br />CAP PISTOL was easy. I think we all had them as kids.<br /><br />EYE and AYE crossing was clever, or was that an accident? I doubt if it was an accident.<br /><br />SEPIA was easy. We used these documents in my old company. At least, that's what they were called.<br /><br />I hope to have lots of BEAN STALKs this year.<br /><br />My gardening class was great. I learned so much on the first day, it was astounding. Now I have to take a test on it.<br /><br />Today, off to give a pint. Enjoy doing that every eight weeks. Will do the puzzle for today while I am on the way.<br /><br />See you later today.<br /><br />Abejo<br /><br />(non seennli)Abejohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318111258011554517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-39733941159835180412014-01-14T23:38:00.571-06:002014-01-14T23:38:00.571-06:00Bill G.

It is her contention that cheddar cheese comes from only Cheddar village in Somerset in the UK. So there are many places making good cheddar-style cheese in the US but it's not really Cheddar cheese; sort of like Roquefort cheese not being any old blue cheese, Champagne not being any old sparkling wine and Scotch tape not being any old cellophane tape. Your mileage may differ but that's her POV.<br /><br />Yes, I remember the Monty Python cheese-shop sketch; almost as good as the dead parrot classic. (Also, how about their Olympics for the handicapped including the 100-year dash for the deaf?

Called Juustoleipa (pronounced oo-stah-lee-pah, with the first syllable rhyming with the word who), this cheese originates from Scandinavia, where the fine folks in northern Finland have been making it from reindeer, cow and goat milk for 200 years. <br /><br /> Juustoleipa is merely fresh curds pressed into blocks. It it then briefly baked. The result is a squeaky cheese with a mild, buttery flavor. The best part is the splotchy brown crust, formed when heat from baking caramelizes the sugars on the outside of the cheese. The cheese is made to be grilled in a skillet or warmed in an oven (it doesn't melt when heated) and eaten for breakfast with coffee and maple syrup or honey, or after a meal with jam or jelly.<br /><br />Legend has it that in Finland, mothers of "eligible women" - I love that phrase - used to offer suitors a cup of coffee with the cheese and, if the man liked the cheese, he married the girl. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Who wouldn't want to marry a man who didn't like cheese?<br />PKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-66553988892962103552014-01-14T16:30:19.801-06:002014-01-14T16:30:19.801-06:00I have never heard/ read the word "teem"...I have never heard/ read the word "teem" be associated with a description of. rain.
