Red Indian Braid

Yesterday was Columbus Day, an event that seems to be ignored by everyone except bankers, postmen and elementary school teachers. Today is Curious Events Day, for what that’s worth. It’s also Fire Prevention Day, Leif Erikson Day, and Moldy Cheese Day. I have nothing of value to contribute about Italian or Norwegian explorers, about preventing fires or even about curious events. But I do have a few comments about moldy cheese. First, to prevent cheese from going bad, repackage it when you bring it home from the store. Second, if you find your cheese has gone moldy, slice the outsides off and toss them. It’s probably still fine inside. Third, if your fridge accumulates bits of assorted cheese, grate them all together, sprinkle them on slices of bread on a cookie sheet. Broil them in your oven until golden and bubbly. Yum!
