Cheesebloggers,

Two weekends ago I had the opportunity to go to the Tillamook Cheese Factory inTillamook Oregon. As we watched the cheese go through its various stages on the machinery, we noticed that they were slicing a thin layer on most sides to make the big blocks even. My friend, IC, was practically drooling at the sight of all that cheesey goodness and she was a little distressed that the extra cheese would become waste. She was trying to figure out away to scale down the catwalk into the factory to rescue the cheese when she realized that they would throw her out and she wouldn't get to the best part of the whole tour. (And no, I'm not talking about the cheese related computer games offered in one of the areas.) As anyone who has ever toured a factory that serves food will tell you, the best part of the wholetour is the SAMPLES! Yes cheesebloggers, there were free samples. Yum, white extra sharp! Yum, pepper jack! Yum colby jack! WTF?! Squeaky? Squeaky cheese is, to my palate, disgusting. I did not like the texture. I did not like the 'squeaks.' It was god-awful. The rest of my party, though, loved it. Squeaky cheese is just cheese curds. They each bought a pack at the cheese gift store. Yes a cheese gift store! I ended up buying various forms of cheddar, then kicking myself later for buying it there when it was the same cheese I could've bought at any grocery store, but it was the thrill of being there that made it better!
