Is it more difficult to make hard cheeses? I imagine it must be. DH has recently been avoiding dairy, but he finds that goat's milk cheese does not bother him as much. I can get soft goat cheese locally. Once and a while we'll go down to Trader Joe's and stock up on a wide variety of harder cheeses that are from goat and/or sheep's milk. They are delicious, but I never find anything like in central Maine.
Every year I order 210 pounds of blueberries. The order is for four families, but I admit our family of 2 takes 110 pounds. I make some jam, and then we both put 1/3 cup or so of the berries on our cereal/oatmeal every single day. We make blueberry cake periodically for DH's elderly dad, and occasionally a pie. We actually ran out this year.
This year, our blueberries are sprayed with Imidan and perhaps malathion. Kind of a bummer, but I guess the fruit flies are particularly bad this year. Hopefully, the healthful qualities of the berries will offset whatever evils lurk in these sprays. DH looked them up and the insecticides are at least water-soluble, so maybe they rinse off some. :/
