Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Got a friend moving over to the UK from the USA later this year. Can't wait to meet them! Plus I'm hoping we can go to Play Expo together (the partner probably won't be able to make it over from Belgium). And hopefully PAX East next year.

Downloaded Windows 10 IoT and looking forward to receiving my Raspberry Pi 2 from RS Components this week!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

So over the weekend I went to the birthplace of... Cheddar cheese.

Known as Cheddar. Yep, a town named Cheddar. They have this famous area known as Cheddar Gorge and some caves where they still age cheddar, which they've been doing since the 12th century.

So of course I had to buy some!

That is really cool! I never knew the cheese was named after the town that invented it.

Neither did I until we started thinking of going there. We heard of Cheddar Gorge but didn't associate it as the place where the cheese originated from. Seems kind of silly when you think of it as lots of things are named after the places that make it. :p

This particular one is very strong. They had different ages and even flavoured cheese. I like a strong sharp cheese personally.

I've also gotten used to the idea that cheddar cheese isn't supposed to be orange... :p

I think the orange cheddar cheese is an American invention.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I think the orange cheddar cheese is an American invention.

I just did a quick read to find out. It seems the colour of the cheese is indeed a dye that gets added. It's the ground up seeds of a tropical tree.

Why they started to do it is for deception. When cheddar first appeared it had generally two colours. One a bit more yellow (grass fed cows in spring) the other more white (hay fed cows in winter). The more yellow version of cheddar was more tasty and the colour was base on the cow's diet. So to trick consumers into thinking white cheese was the more tasty yellow cheese they started to dye it. I guess it got a bit out of hand so now it's orange.

That sucks and that's really early morning!

I hate checking in luggage...

I hate going through airport security more. I'm leaving after my friend flight leaves to go straight to work...so I've been in my work attire since 12:30am.

Nope. We had too much to do to get ready. Haven't slept since Saturday night going into Sunday morning.

Had a cup of BLACK coffee and that'll get me until lunch. Will get the sleep in tonight, that's for sure.

I don't think I could even think of doing something like that...o_O

Man you must be hurting a touch. :p Even with coffee I'd be a mess.
