At the risk of exposing my bourgeois tendencies, I'm afraid I've no idea what I pay for cheese. Raclet for two is about twenty-five bucks but, other than that, I couldn't tell you if it's two bucks a pound or twenty bucks a pound. It doesn't matter, my demand for cheese is inelastic.

Yeah but you clawed your way to the riches of computer pimpdon on the backs of the cracker-barrel eating proletariat. Come the revolution you'll be the first in the fondue set.

I think they mainly ate grits, that and gruel. Oddly we're eating a lot of grits lately, with parmesan or asaigo.

Seeing as you seemingly like to think that Calgary is back of the beyond.

Three locations in Calgary one in Woodstock Ontario.

27 different English cheeses listed on their website plus cheeses from many other countries.

I have no clue what it's all like as cheese is not high on my list of menu items these days.

Have you actually moved to Guelph?

dbd33

Yes. I have a little house with another poster. There's brie and cheddar in the fridge.

That's a bit out in the sticks isn't it? I thought you would be moving back to The Beach.

Is this house on the prairie?

Excellent thread drift btw, from top ten whatevers through cheese to dbd33's domestic arrangements. Can we get to block heaters and winter tires next?

Much trudging around there searching for something fit to mortgage but otherwise wrecked found nothing at all. Cash money, better than $300,000, and nerve is required to get in the game. For example, the daughter who's emigrating to Essex just sold her house off the Danforth 12 hours after listing it for 100% of list ($340,000 for a tiny semi with the kitchen and bathroom below grade) with no conditions. The buyer had bid on four other houses that fortnight.

We were mulling the lack of necessary funds and the degree of risk in bidding without conditions in an area renowned for subsidence and termites when an interesting property near here presented itself and the current project commenced.

Nope. It's in one of the "cities" listed.

So, are you still commuting to TO?

el_richo

Aaaah. I just wondered if it was next to a little mosque.
