Today I learned (from Millicent, as I always do) that the von Trapp family still exists as a family unit and makes cheese (!), and now having read your beautiful piece, I have to track down this one even though I don't like blue cheese at all.
That last line! Loved this piece. When I was in elementary school my grandparents would take me to a neighbors pasture to collect dried up cow shit for fortifying the compost in our tiny family vineyard. I have no idea if anyone still does this but I wish I had more of a sense memory of it, I just remember giggling.
Thank you. Now I'm thinking of ordering a sample pack even though my partner and I don't eat that much cheese in a whole year! and I'll probably rewatch Heat as well, or maybe not, because the disappointment you describe is so real.
You can get it from Saxelby Cheesemongers-who focus on American made cheese-I bet they have some interesting samplers. I’m glad I rewatched Heat-I first saw it in the theatre when it came out in 1995. I love all that man stuff and I loathe all that man stuff, know what I mean?

The manure totally becomes movable when it dries. I bet that practice of composting made for great soil.
In the wintertime we sled down the heifer field and caught air over the piles of frozen manure.

I do. Unfortunately, but fortunately.
