Endorsements were made based on the recommendations of local committees of farmers.

Here’s yet another nearby major attraction that I’ve somehow missed in the last 31 years of living in Virginia. Kind of like being a New Yorker who’s never been to the Statue of Liberty. (Yes, I’m guilty of that, as well.) At any rate, we decid…
Auctions are a growing portion of the Fredericksburg real estate market. However, unlike most opinions, auctions are not only for estate sales and foreclosures. Many people like the positive aspects of selling their home via the auction method of marketing. The most popular benefits are the accelerated marketing pace, which is helpful because there is […]

Let me just say, I love this cheese!
Hirtenkäse, or “herder’s cheese”, is a rustic and savory hard cheese, traditionally handmade in the Allgäu mountain region in the South of Germany. It is an authentic mountain cheese with a rugged, earthy aroma.
The rich cow’s milk for this yummy gem comes from mountain farmers. There are only about 12-15 cows per farm, so they are very well cared for, resulting in wonderful, rich milk. In mid-September there is a big festival in the Allgäu, where the lead cow is decorated with flowers and she is herded down from the mountains to the barn.
This cheese itself is a rich golden, buttery-yellow color. The texture is firm and rustic, the flavor savory and earthy, with a lovely waxy sweetness.
Try it with whole grain breads, fresh apples or dried figs. Delicious when shaved over a crisp salad, coarsely grated over roasted potatoes, or mixed into hot pasta with chunks of ripe, local tomatoes. Excellent with a full-bodied red wine, or follow my lead and celebrate the fall season and have it with Hofbrau Munchen’s Oktoberfestbier!

UPDATE: The anti-reform screamers are yelling non-stop. People are coming up to ask “questions” and are instead spouting out the usual “socialist!,” “communist!,” “fascist!,” conspiracy theories that we’ve all heard a million times before. When Warner gets an actual question, he answers it.
I love it when a Democrat, OR Republican for that matter, debunk a […]
THREE! HUN! DRED! SIX! TY! FIVE! DE! GREES!
A fortnightly rant FL-S style, Labor Day Weekend Bulldog Edition, with a h/t to L.A. County’s bravest.
I feel truly sorry for the people of the City of Angels.
With scores of entertainment/media conglomerate-running fornicators, cohabitators, and homosexuals as residents, the fires that have engulfed a good portion of the […]
We still have a few pieces of Roquefort cheese at our Plank Road store (next to Ukrops). In case you were not aware, this cheese is not currently being imported into America because of a trade war with France. Many people consider this the best blue cheese in the world and many recipes call for it. This is fair warning because I know I will get phone calls later this year asking if we have any Roquefort. While it will probably get imported again some time in the future, nobody really knows when that is. This cheese will be gone in another week so this is your last chance!
