Second Log: International Interest

[spunky_explorer]

Alright, so I've seen a ton of interesting people around here and that got me thinking. . .

What kinds of foods did you all use to eat back home? What were your favorite dishes? And have you managed to find the ingredients here to make them?

I like cheese the best. I've been making some here as well.

[spunky_explorer]

What kind of cheese is your favorite? And how do you make cheese? Is it hard?

[the_wee_big_hag]

It isn't really but I've been doing it for a while. I grew up on a sheep farm and it was always my job to make the cheese and butter.

I don't really have a favorite but I think one of the most interesting to make is the Lancre Blue cheese....but I suppose that didn't turn out so well all things considering.

[spunky_explorer]

I bet the quality's different when it's handmade versus store-bought, right?

[the_wee_big_hag]

Yes. Half of the cheese they sell here I wouldn't really call cheese at all.

[Processed cheese...yuck]

[spunky_explorer]

How long does it take to make cheese by hand though? Few hours? Days?

[the_wee_big_hag]

A few hours. It really doesn't take that long.

[spunky_explorer]

[Chuckles] Perhaps I could try making cheese for fun sometime.

[the_wee_big_hag]

I could show you how if you like. It's not that hard. It just takes patience.

[spunky_explorer]

Thanks! I'd like that. It's much easier to learn when you can see someone do it first.

[the_wee_big_hag]

It is.

Do you want to come over after school one day?

[spunky_explorer]

That would work. Whenever you're free is good, or the weekends too.

[the_wee_big_hag]

Alright. Thatt sounds like fun.

There isn't much to do here.

[spunky_explorer]

In this town you mean?

[the_wee_big_hag]

Yes.

[spunky_explorer]

Can't argue with that point at all. I mean, essentially my 'regular' day here isn't much different from my 'regular' day back home. You know, go to school, come home, do homework, go to sleep, rinse, repeat. But entertainment-wise this town's definitely lacking.
