OK, OK, I took so many food photos in Paris I just wanted to show them off. This one is from the fromagerie on Rue Cler.I'm on a short break from blogging, headed for a conference in the heart of the state. There will be lots of cheddar around, and very little - if any - French cheese in sight.
See you Monday.
Where are you going this summer? Business or pleasure?

Very nice looking cheese. I don't think I'll be going much of anywhere this summer, but I will be near several good cheese purveyors.

There is a cheese that I crave but have been unable to find (even in Wisconsin) I remember hating the aroma as a child watching my maternal grandmother eat it on salt wafers. As is often the case I grew to love it. I will admit now that I am not a gourmet and certainly a poor speller but you foodies out there can help me I knww. It was a "stinky" soft ripened cheese called (and I will spell this phonetically) "Leader-Kranz" Got any in your frig?

Mary, I'd have bought some of it, t0o, instead of just snapping away. But I'd bought some from the woman across the street earlier.
Nope, MM, just Pont L'Eveque - smelly stuff - but I know what you mean! I usually have goat cheese, Parmesan and Mozzarella on hand and in winter, blue cheese.
Oh, Mimi, cheese! Wonderful cheese. French wonderful cheese. Yummy.
But,
I'm headed to Neal's Dairy Yard in London town today!!! Oh, Hooray!
Have a great conference.
Good Wisconsin cheddar sounds wonderful to me! I'm lucky to have a great cheese shop (Farmstead) in Providence, and another in Boston (Formaggio). Maybe I'll spend the summer traveling between the two....
Hah, Tanna, I knew you'd like this one!
Lydia, I like your style! On the cheese trail, so to speak.
Nice! And I want to see the towers of chocolate desserts you mentioned...did you take pictures of those? Hope the conference goes well.
Ah! One of my favorite reasons to live here in Wisconsin. There is no shortage of good cheese.
For The Milkmaid, the correct spelling is Liederkranz, a German cheese that was last produced at the Monroe Cheese Factory here in Wisconsin and happens to be an extinct cheese. After a fire, the bacteria cultures were corrupted (In the early 1980's) and production ceased. Do a Wiki search with the correct spelling, it's full of information about this stinky cheese. :-)
Keep the French photos coming, Mimi. No excuse needed. And enjoy your conference.
Among our travels this summer, we're doing a road trip to St. Louis this weekend, an underrated city full of hidden gems. I'll share photos and stories in next week's post.
Mimi, keep those paris photos coming! I love them!
You must come to Australia Mimi - you would love our cheese and produce too! LOL
mmmm...cheese! Nothing better in the world.
Thank you Erika. Mystery solved but sad news that this long ago favorite is no more. I knew someone would know. I wonder if it can still be found in Germany?

Oddly enough, save for breakfast, I had no cheese while I was out of town.
I did have coconut encrusted shrimp with orange marmalade sauce and it was excellent.
Will be returning to Canada, where I will once again be able to get really good cheese, in a couple of weeks.
Pepper, is this a permanent move?
I'll be home staying with my parents in Olympia, Washington for most of July and August. Pure pleasure!
Love the cheeses Mimi.
I'm coming to America for about 9 days in a couple of weeks, to the West Coast. though I would love to visit Wisconsin one of these days... and sample some cheeses !
That's great, Betty! I'll bet you are looking forward to it.
Fiona, California is a big cheese state, too. Plus, they have more wineries than we do.
Have a safe trip Mimi! Or I guess I should say I hope you had a safe trip.
Hope that you had a great break~ you need it after that wonderful vacation in Paris! Hee Hee!!You are so lucky to be in all these Cheeselands~I just could not survive without it! Have a nibble or two for me!I think that I may not be able to visit sites as much thru the summer with traveling, but I will read your blog whenever time allows.I love reading it!
I'm really enjoying your Paris photos and all the recap you're giving us here, even though you're back.
Now I'm salivating over that fromage.
We'll be staying put this summer, but as you know....we're headed back to Paris on Oct. 9. Counting down the time!
Hope your conference went well.
Kristen and Terri, it was a smooth trip, thank you. The restaurant at the conference center had pretty good food, and the napkins were face towels!
Jann, I have been remiss in my blogging these past few months. I must get over to your place and see what you are up to now!!!
