"HEY, CABOT!!!"

 

A few years ago I was in Kennebunkport and stayed a small B & B.  Each day they served slices of this amazing cheese with breakfast.  When I got back to the 'Burgh, I couldn't stop thinking about how great the cheese was.  After a few days of being miserable without this cheese, I ended up contacting the hotel.  The manager got back to me in a day or so and informed me that the cheese they serve there is Cabot's Extra Sharp Cheddar. I found some at a local store the next day and have been eating it ever since.

If you've never tried it, you've been missing something extraordinary.  No matter what you it eat on or with, it enhances the flavor.  Eat it with other foods or by itself.  I like it with wine or even with beer and soft pretzels.  Try it.  I hope you like it.  I think I'll go have some right now.

*On the Orc front, all 13 are blocked out.  I'll give them a wash on Monday.  Tuesday or Wednesday I'll start to drybrush and highlight.  Pics to follow soon.

Keep on (W)Orking


10 days into the project and so far so good. Some figures are a tad further along than others.  Most models are fully blocked out.  The Jade Fire Tribe only has the skin tones done.  I'm keeping to an earthy palette: browns, greens, grays.  The exception is the red leathers on the Warg-Rider.  I want to have these done by the end of the month.  I should be in good shape.

Orktober has 13 Daze


Nope.  I 'm not going to argue about it.  They say 13, I'm going with 13.  The 13 in reference here is the number of Orc miniatures I'm going to paint this month...at least that's the goal.  Twelve are from Reaper Bones Miniatures and one is by Pathfinder Miniatures.  When all is done, I should have one mean green miniature Orc Machi.....Army.  Stay tuned to to see how things go.   I'll try to post as I go along.  (The Orc is this picture kinda looks like me...I'm not green... just so you know.)
