MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR BROUGHT ME SOME GOODIES!

[SmokinAl]

My next door neighbors live in Wisconsin most of the year.

They only come down to Florida 3 or 4 weeks a year.

They came for a week this time & they always bring us some Wisconsin cheese.

I usually just eat it all in a couple of weeks, but this time I thought I would smoke it & save it for when they come down the next time.

Well I probably won't save it all, but I wanted them to try some of their cheese smoked.

Here's what they brought.

Fired up the tube with an old bag of perfect blend.

The Lang is drawing the smoke thru nicely.

I let it smoke about 3 1/2 hours, until it got a nice color.

Nice deal you got there Al. As a Wisconsin boy, I'm spoiled when it comes to cheese. Also, not a big fan of smoked cheese, but those sure look like they turned out fantastic. I'm sure you Neighbors will love it when they come back.

It's comments like these that remind me how much I take access to good cheese for granted. Two cheese factories within a short drive. And the hand rolled butter. Never buy the commercial stuff again when you get used to that. Guess the wife keeps me spoiled.

Happy new year everyone. May you all have a wonderful 2017.

I think my neighbors went to a cheese factory, or cheese store to get my cheese.

Cause I asked them if this stuff is carried in the grocery store up there & they said no.

They bring me a bunch every time they come down.

I keep an eye on there house while they are gone, & this is how they thank me.

It has always been the best cheese that I have ever had.

Can't wait to see how they like it smoked!

Looking good Al. I'd be interested to see how the habanero turns out. I smoked some ghost pepper cheese the other day. Anticipation is killing me

Might have to look up this cheese smoking thing, looks pretty good.

Thanks!

They always bring me habanaro cause they know we like spicy, and this habanero is pretty hot.

I can't wait to try it smoked either.

Yes it's very easy to do & really makes some good tasting cheese.
