I get my "bonus money"  four times a year. It's my U.K. "Social Security" earned in the years before I went to seminary (i.e. 1960-1972)

It's always time for a treat; and here is my wondrous May 2023 treat.


Utterly wonderful!





Ingredients: Raw sheep’s milk, cheese cultures, enzymes, salt


TRADITION


Pasamontes Manchego, made at the same location since 1896 has long been known as Spain’s best Manchego and has more recently been recognized as a consistent DOP winner. It is made proudly by M. Dolores Palomares Pasamontes, who is the 4th generation in her family to carry on the cheese making tradition. Her great grandmother started the dairy. The sheep are herded using traditional shepherding practices. When you sense the big bouquet, taste the complexity of flavors, and savor the long finish on your palate, reserve some of your enthusiasm to honor the Pasamontes dedication to quality.

This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
