Of Gods and Muensters
I mentioned in a previous post that 2023 was going to be my cheeses year so today I’m going old school origin story on that topic. And if you’re confused about the connection to my diet and running posts, I can explain. Cheese is the cornerstone of my (non-fasting days) keto diet, which I use to lose weight, which makes me run faster (’cause as they say in the ski jumping space, “fat don’t fly”). There! How’s that for a segue worthy of Paul Blart?
But I digress. Our hero’s journey begins with our hero, Aristaeus, Greek god of cheese making. Ari was also good at other stuff, like bee-keeping and dairy farming, but I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t know colby-jack about him if it weren’t for his number one hit on the Pantheon Hot 100 — cheese! And it is apt that we feta Greek (as opposed to a Romano) god because the Greeks accidentally invented cheese over 8,000 years ago while transporting milk in animal storage containers. I find that udderly fascinating.
Now I know some of my Swiss friends may try to poke holes in this post but I had a friend from Cheddar review it and he’s pretty sharp. So, asiago back out into the virtual world, let’s not get caught up in controversy. Instead, try to live by those immortal words of Paul McCartney and just “Let it Brie.”
