Well, what lovely weather we are having.
Thunder showers, and now thunder snow!

Our entire winter in an afternoon! (I hope.)

Just calling to mind the messages the other day in which I cast doubt on
the genuineness of "mozzarella di bufala".

Watching the Travel Channel today (--yes, isn't it pitiful?--hardly any
partisan politics to excite me) I found that presenter Mark di Carlo,
visited a water buffalo farm in Woodstock, Vermont, and watched the
milking and cheese-making practices.  He was quite relieved to find out
it wasn't breeding day.  The 360 head are bred by AI, with semen
imported from Italy.

You might not want to shake Al's hand in a hurry...

Mine host was not thrilled at the prospect of watching AI, as I may have
indicated.  But he found positively revolting the idea of gathering the
semen.

Now as for SML and the yoghurt-making. . .do you think there is a tale
left hanging there?

Sure. Good yoghurt needs bacteria, i.e. microbes, imported from
Bulgaria or Turkey. Enjoy.

Yeah, and that scurrilous gag about "what's the difference between
Australia and Natural Yoghurt?" "Natural Yoghurt has a living culture
in it" is almost certainly an unfair slur and anyway, I've never been
there.

Me neither. But I've heard that same gag about some other country, that
I did visit, which will forever remain anonymous.

Those using a more legible font might wonder what you're going on about....r

They also make a delicious yoghurt there, by the way.

So the shipping cost for it would explain their price of 7-9 bucks a
mozzarella ball.

But the gathering of mothballs is yet more difficult.  Can one find them
on the market these days, or were they driven out of circulation by the
ones on the mice.?

No prob. My five-and-dime (now a huge 99-cent supermarket) has them.

Just when you thought you'd licked STS, here comes the Sicilian Mariner's
