Market Friday and the lesson in "Cutting the Cheese"
So yesterday, I was feeling down in the dumps, but I NEEDED
some things from the grocery store, so I pulled up my panties
and went to Kroger.
I was craving a salad, but I've learned from long experience
That if I BUY a head of lettuce or whatever, plus all the other
Stuff I like in a salad, much of it will go bad before I can eat it.
I was also thinking about the thick cut of meat in my fridge
That needed to be cooked, and what would go along with
It, so... some taters.
I've fallen in love with the (expensive) "antipasti" bar
I finally got one of the nice folks there to let me sample
One of those marinated Mushrooms.
Very tasty, but for another day.
So this section is also the CHEESE specialty area, the young man
"Juston" who let me sample the 'shroom, saw me taking photos.
"If you'll come back in a little while, I'm going to be giving "Devin"
Lessons in how to cut a cheese wheel"
That is 80 lbs of Parmigiano Reggiano at $17.99 per lb.
Of course I came back
(That's Connie in the red shirt, Devin is in the black shirt)
It was fascinating to watch the steps, and how seemingly
Easy it was for him (he was taller, I suspect more leverage)
than for her (plus me being there with my camera was,
Even though she denied it, making her nervous)
Of course, Juston let me taste a piece that fell off as they cut
It was DELICIOUS. I've never had parmesan cheese this way,
Nor this fresh.

Thank you very much @appreciator, I appreciate your appreciation (wait, what? ha ha)
No problem being a little late. That was awesome and I lived in Holland and was fascinated by the cheese wheels they cut at all the cheese shops! That was so cool of you to get that!
Isn't it amazing to watch?
I understand the lettuce dilemma, but, if you take it out and put it in a Tupperware container, with a paper towel loosely on the top of it, it stays longer. Of buying one fo those small bags of mixed veggies and lettuce. Or split it with a neighbor when you first buy it. I used to do that when there were only two of us.
Down in the dumps? Make sure you lace up those running shoes and hit the street and let loose a few endorphins. That may improve how you feel. You just don't know, right? I get up and out no matter how I feel. I want to thank you for being part of the challenge!!
#MarketFriday loves you!

Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment Denise. I've tried that with the container and paper towel, but not recently.
I am usually very good about getting to know my neighbors. People have changed from when I was younger, everyone is friendly in the hallways, but disdain my invitations to "come by sometime" so I know most of the 8 people that are my neighbors in this building, but otherwise... I DO have a phone # for one neighbor; she lost a backpack at the Airport with her house and car keys, wallet etc... she just happened to see me when she came home to check to see if anyone had damaged anything (of course she couldn't get in herself, her spare key was inside the apartment 😱)
Long and short, her car happened to be parked right in front of my apartment, so she asked if I could keep an eye on it over the weekend (otherwise she could have gone to the office to get into her apartment). So of the 8 apartments, she and I speak in passing more than any of the others. She is also a school teacher.
You know I had a hip replacement last May (I can't believe it has been nearly a year)
They told me I could resume normal activities except:
Don't Fall, Don't Run, and Don't get on trampolines.
Repetitive impacts on the hip joint could cause it to fail sooner.
I have a plan. There is a very nice "adult rec center" very close by, swimming and yoga are very attractive to me. As soon as I get this last surgery (hernia repair) out of the way, I will be signing up.
Have a great day @dswigle
I am fortunate to live in a friendly community with a nice mix of ages across the board. It is getting harder to find these communities and I have been very fortunate. The jobs in the family have us moving from time to time.
When someone new moves in or is moving out of the neighborhood, I still bringa dinner over or at the very least, a dessert to welcome them in or say goodbye to them. They have to bring that dish back for another reconnect. Silly, but it is important to me to be able to connect to the people I live near. Some places have just become unfriendly or they keep to themselves. Too busy, too untrusting, whatever. That makes it uncomfortable for me. I'm weird that way.
Anyway, I hope that you get to sign up soon for swimming and yoga. I am sure it will be a nice break to be able to get out and have a little fun. You have a great day!
#MarketFriday loves you!

this seems to be so hard to cut this cheese...and dangerous, hell I was fearing she was gutted ! 😌
Hi @barbara-orenya, I think she was afraid of that too. Juston said that he thought it was easier for him due to his added height.
I kept thinking that by making more "plunge cuts" (stabbing down into the cheese along the line) then flipping it over and doing the same from the other side, it would break along that line, but it was their task. I enjoyed it, and the cheese.
Thanks for stopping by.
At her place I would have been terrified...LoL...Have a great evening Jerry 😊
Thank you Barbara, I hope you have a very pleasant evening as well.
