Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I work swing shift....so anytime is breakfast time for me.

Doc told me about 6 months ago that I am diabetic so I have been watching my intake pretty good. Went in Monday morning for my check up to see how I have been doing. Lost 17 pounds and blood pressure is the best it has been in for a very long time.

Larry, my doc told me I can eat all the cheese I want. But no more gravy .... My favorite!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

delis in Italy serve quattro formaggio sandwiches, delizioso!

I couldn't live without cheese, eat at least two kinds every day..

good for you to have self control to eat healthier, I keep these in my fridge at work for my addiction..

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

The gal I'm working for now has laying hens and gives me eggs. They are various colors and sizes. Do they make cartons with various sizes?

So other Larry cut the cheeze, ay?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

good job dustmaker! keep up the good work!

I also work swings.. dieting is tough for me.. thankfully I'm only about 25lbs over and took about 10 years to get here LoL..

Mrs. Bee is a lean mean fightin' machine 10 years my younger.. gonna have to do something to reverse my trend but haven't decided what I could do without..

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

^ LoL, I remember moms rule for the regular egg buyers, bring a carton.. we had stacks of various sorts of paper, foam, etc. long time ago but do remember mom had her favorite types of cartons.. seems our eggs were fairly consistent but they did vary some.. must have been mostly extra large cartons and smaller ones fit as well? over 30 years ago when I was a young teen.. I do remember our hens could lay some whoppers though!

cool you have fresh eggs regularly, I really miss that rich flavor.. our hens ate very well and made fantastic eggs..

funny thing I didn't mention.. most of the hens layed in the tin hutches in the coop.. but in the long summer days when they spent more time outside, some would lay wherever they happened to be.. planters, bushes, tractors seats, patio chairs, lol.. and gathering eggs in the hutches was always exciting, some wanted only empty bins, others would sit on 3 eggs and lay theirs.. and some didn't mind a gentle reach under to grab eggs, others all hell break loose! they're fun critters to raise.. chickens are legal in my city, thinking about building a small coop for a few laying hens for my kids to experience.. and full well plan to raise some hens when I retire back on the family farm..

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Hmmmm.......no cheese.....no gravy.....:jdp: two of my favorite treats!!!!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

About the years or pounds?:lol::lol::lol:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Working toward retirement, eh?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I went by Hardees (Carl's Jr.) this morning and had a biscuit and gravy. I first cut back to once a week, now once a month.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

My kids have a chicken coop and have fresh eggs.

They raise their own beef, and eat wild pork, venison and turkey.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Only way to get a head now a days... Work, work, work....my girlfriends youngest(12) tells me all of the time "payoff is at the end". I just keep wondering when the end will be here?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

The end will be when you die of course...

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Larry about Hardees.
They have the best biscuits around here. I love em. They come with a side benefit too. Any time I have breakfast from there I can depend on having to make a sudden trip to the toilet within 15 to 20 minutes after having ate there. Not a good thing for traveling though. It must be the oil they use or something. It's been doing me that way for years so I don't eat there often. Need a quick cleanout? Try Hardees.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Cut back on that delicious stuff now so you can keep enjoying it later. I hope I am never told to stop eating any of the food I love.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Our hobby has been traveling looking for trucks and parts for the last couple of years. But part of the trips was eating ice cream at every ma and pa place we could find! I think that had a little to do with my issues. But the info you can get at an ice cream parlor is almost worth it! We found out about more trucks talking to older folks than driving around looking :)

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Ice cream and trucks just go together. I don't have to go far for that

Or so I'm told. That last frozen custard place is in Carlisle, PA. I try to stop by on my way out of town. Can't get my buddies to want to go. They say beer and ice cream don't mix? :crazy: Some folks just weren't raised right

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

We have Uncle Bobs. Man he makes some really cool flavores. Our favorite is Salted Caramel Rumchata. I almost think I can drunk on it!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Mmmm... Warm and fuzzy ice cream

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Killer Bee,

where do you get the Tillamoo Cheese?

Tillamook Cheese is what it should be! That's where my wife grew up, and they have the famous Tillamook Cheese factory there!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

This is a cool place in a quaint little town to visit.

That sub IS very clean!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

it's all good! :alc:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I was wondering about that cheese, too. Never seen it before. Clever name.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I have visited theTillamonk Cheese factory a few times through the years..A guy who works there or did work there for 35 years gave me 4-5 different cheeses they make there while I attended a family reunion that he was related to ..that was in a small town on the Columbia River in a town called Clastskanie .

The guy told me that there is not enough milk from the cows to supply the needs for the cheeses any more and they have to import milk form other places in the state to keep up with demands to sell their products..

In Tillamonk or near it is a big big wheel borrow a guy made that had two wrecked cars in the tub of it for all to see when driving by,, it had what looked like light poles for handel bars and the wheel for it was around 10 feet tall..

Also a large Blimp garage is there in Tillamonk that housed Blimps in world war 2 and then later a whole sawmill was running inside the building ,,it is still there I believe ..

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I lived across the highway from the blimp hangers, You could see when the big door opened but far enough away not to see inside. That was in 4th grade. Now 50.
I like Tillamook PepperJack Cheese. Had some yesterday.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I tried to google Tillamoo and it did not work, so I was wondering what was up. We always buy the 5lb brick!

We're down there all the time. Uncle Maury and Uncle Kenny still live there. And we go camping at Cape Lookout State Park and Nehalem Bay State Park. The Tillamook Cheese Factory ice cream stop is a must!

Spend a lot of time wheelin, hiking and hunting in the Tillamook State Forest as well... Here is a pic of a 500 plus year old stump I found Elk Hunting one year. 43 feet in circumference without the bark, over 9 feet in diameter. I think this burned in the 1933 Tillamook burn!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

This has become an interesting thread talking about Tillamook cheese. I don't know that I've ever seen it available down here in the South. I'm going to have to go find some just to try it out. I'm sure I won't be disappointed. I really love pepper jack anyway.

EDIT:

I just googled Tillamook Cheese and found where I can order it online. WOW! What did we ever do before the internet?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

We have Tillamook here. I never realized where it came from. My favorite brand, for everyday cheese goes is Kerrigold. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...5ndFGsBJzrkCVU It's not expensive either

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

My wife recently started hiking (three or so years now). I've gone along on some hikes with the group she's in. We've hiked Cape Lookout, Cascade Head(actually took a nap overlooking the ocean on the edge of the cliff, almost my favorite hike) Bay Ocean Spit, Cape Meares (light house), plus many more. I also hiked 3 Finger Jack.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Beautiful landscape.

As I get older I tend to cut the cheese when I'm hiking, sort of like a horse. It's even worse when I wake up from a nap.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I haven't tried the cheese but Kerrigold Butter is great. I'll have to look for the cheese. The butter is a bit more expensive than others. It's listed as "Irish Butter" on the box so I'm assuming it's an Irish process. It's a bit harder per temp than regular butter.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Kerrigold butter is the only brand we buy. Tillamook ice cream is divine. Always have a variety of cheeses on hand too :)
