Cheese

The creamery is just an hour from Rochester and definitely worth a visit.

Not that our state, which has laws against mispronouncing Joliet as Jolly-ette, or giving dogs a cigar has anything to look down its nose at, but our friends behind the cheddar curtain have some interesting ideas about cheese legalities and other things.

They used over 300 pounds of dough and 60 pounds of cheese!

I've heard of product recalls due to potential contamination or a link to bacteria or disease, but I've never heard of one like this before. Cheese slices in Missouri and Illinois have been recalled and I'm betting you'll never guess why in a million years.

A machine malfunction is reportedly behind the recall of more than 83,000 cases of cheese slices.

In a world of crystal balls, tarot cards, and tea leaves, a local Chicagoan has decided to turn her attention to a more savory form of divination.

Not much good came out of the ongoing pandemic but apparently it took a generational catastrophe for the DAIRY state to officially name a state cheese.

In the interests of full disclosure, I'm happy to point out that I proudly worked for a grocery store (Pineway Supermarket in Oregon, Illinois) for about three years, and even with that experience, I didn't know what the number one most stolen item is.

There's nothing worse than buying cheese and being unsure of its quality.
