Prairie Pure Butterkase Cheese
October 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment
I bought this cheese on one of my trips to the farmers market over the summer. When they say it’s buttery and melts well, they are not kidding! It was delicious. Actually, Stephanie loved snacking on it when she visited us in August. I liked buying from a local IL dairy too – Prairie Pure Cheese. I have also tried their sharp cheddar and it is good as well, but I think the butterkase has a more unique taste.
Laughing Cow: Real or Fake Cheese?

Laughing Cow at Jewel, Roscoe Village, Chicago
At my local Jewel, Laughing Cow used to be located in an unrefrigerated aisle next to all the other fake cheese – the Velveeta, the Cheez Wiz, etc. On a recent trip to the supermarket it wasn’t there. I couldn’t find it anywhere. Then I had an idea: Maybe it was by the real cheese? And there it was. In the refrigerated section that houses all the fancy cheeses. Wikipedia says that because of the pasteurization process, Laughing Cow wedges don’t have to be refrigerated. Do you think Jewel put them there just because people had trouble finding them?

Beer-Shaped Sausage :: Mars Cheese Castle, Kenosha, WI
Mars Cheese Castle, Kenosha, WI
The last time I was in Wisconsin I had Danny’s car and on the way home I stopped at Mars Cheese Castle to take a look around. Believe it or not, I’d never been there. It’s nearby the Bong Recreation Center so it was a regular routine to make fun of Bong and then look across the highway and think “Mars Cheese Castle, I should go there some day.” So, finally I did.
I didn’t get any more beer-shaped sausage, but I did end up buying two six packs of New Glarus beers: Fat Squirrel and Spotted Cow.

My niece, Stephanie, is 7 years old and this summer she is taking German classes. Last summer she took Spanish classes. I spoke with her on the phone the other night and part of our conversation went something like this:
Steph: “I could learn all of the languages in the world and then when I met someone they would never know what language I was born speaking!”
Me: “Yeh, you could learn Spanish, German, French, Chinese, Portuguese, ”
Steph: “PORK CHEESE? What language is that!??!”
