For some reason I just never thought we were all that different until I found the blogs. <br /><br />You have to have a little bit of cold. I think if it had stayed so warm all winter I would have really gotten worried about what we have done to our environment to cause such a change. <br /><br />The pizza was definitely good. Maybe not quite as good as one you could get at a restaurant but I'll take my sourdough pizza any day--plus it is going to be a real short week for us and "buying as little as possible" will be the game this week.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-72194119017723882582012-01-13T19:33:11.168-05:002012-01-13T19:33:11.168-05:00It's definitely cold here as well.

Many thanks indeed for visiting my new b...Hi Becky,<br />Many thanks indeed for visiting my new blog website and leaving such a thought provoking comment. I spent a year in Wisconsin when I was growing up and so experienced ‘typical’ cheese from there. Interesting experience...I just remember the cheese being predominately orange in colour. Dredging up my memories from thirty plus years ago there was something called ‘Brick cheese’ a softish, very mild cheese often sliced into our sandwiches, Colby cheese which was very, very mild and sponge like and a rather squeaky thing called cheese curds-sort of rubbery blobs which literally squeaked when you bit into them.<br /> It is fascinating also how different our experiences have been for school meals. And lunch time in an American High school...so very, very different indeed to what I had been used to. I had never had a ‘bag’ lunch before and was highly intrigued that food to eat such as sandwiches could be bought from a machine...how times have changed...and then I had my first experience of a food fight in the high school in Wisconsin...oh my goodness...being young and impressionable I thought the movies had come to life!!Green Dragonettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577026799637153889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-54067086734732801572012-01-13T11:48:15.268-05:002012-01-13T11:48:15.268-05:00Saw your comments about school food on Green Drago...Saw your comments about school food on Green Dragonette's blog (thanks for supporting her, BTW). You should write a post about school dinners then and now - sounds like there's a major difference.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
