Osceola Cheese

On our way home from our trip to Branson, Missouri I kept seeing signs for Osceola Cheese. I said, "We have to stop there to stretch our legs."

Travis thought we passed it on accident, but I spotted the exit.

If you ever pass through Osceola, Missouri stop at Osceola Cheese. They have fancy meats, pickles, and jams you can buy there as well. 

What I loved were the samples! They had so many options of different cheeses to try! We were all in heaven! 

They have over 275 cheeses on stock! They have been open since 1944, so they've had plenty of time to perfect their flavors. I think I liked the hot cheese samples the best.

For a long time I stayed away from cheese. I thought I was allergic to all things dairy. My allergy test showed no dairy allergies. Cheese has been slowly added back into my diet. I love cheese!

What's your favorite kind of cheese?

WW: Fall Festival {Linky|

The boy's school has a fall festival every year. They have a lot of games, a haunted house, food, and Duct Taped the principal to the wall. 

We dressed up for the event:

Isaak the Zombie

Mica as Captain America

I Went as a Box of Cheez-Its

 

A kid at the festival said, "I want some Cheez-Its." I just turned around, and he laughed.

 

Zester Grater By Chef Trusted Reveiw

I'm on a lemon kick lately. What's your summer craving? 

I got a Zester Grater By Chef Trusted to review. 

Since Isaak got his teeth out today we're on a cottage cheese, applesauce, yogurt, ice cream, jello, pudding and popsicle diet. 

I got Mica and Isaak ice cream for a snack. Then I put lemon zest and blueberries on top. It's simple, but they loved it!

The plastic thing covers the zester, for protection. We put it on when we store it.

Boasting non-scratch end tabs and a high quality soft-touch handle, the zester grater grates even the hardest cheeses into fine lacy strands.

Perfect for topping your favorite meatballs or spaghetti, our zester grater is also great for simple citrus zesting to add a natural flavor to your drinks. There's no other tool that combines effective grating and zesting as the Chef Trusted Zester Grater. Once you use it, you will know why.

Make your dishes unique with our new zester grater. It is the easiest way to decorate and add flavor to your dish. Grate a nice Reggiano or Parmesan over your salad. You can also shred chocolate or lemon over ice cream or desserts. It is possible to zest or grate fruits such as coconuts, lemons, oranges and limes over the top of your favorite cocktail or beer. Make rosti cakes by grating potatoes or a carrot cake by grating carrots. You can use this zester grater to grate garlic or ginger for stews, stir fries and so much more. Grate fresh cinnamon and toss some old spices to add unique flavors to your dish.

Would You Like Some Cheese With That Wine?

Isaak has been incredibly fussy! Last evening he got mad because he wanted my help putting on his shoes; then he wanted to do it himself. I let him put his own shoes on; he gets mad because he can't get them on. Back and forth we go. I finally I just put them on; ignoring the wine. We leave Grandma and Grandpa's Spiehs' house. Isaak fell asleep in the car. This rarely happens. Daddy takes him inside, Isaak crashes on the couch. This to rarely happens.

When it was bedtime he got mad because of I don't know what. He was so worked up, I couldn't understand him. Daddy stepped in and calmed him down; I'm not even sure how.

This morning Isaak tried pulling on Daddy and hurt his own arm. He cried like he was in pain for awhile. Milking up all the attention from me as he could get. He always wants the parent that's not in the front line of his problem.

Then he fell in the driveway, busted his knee and cried some more.

Grandma and Grandpa Spiehs took the boy's over to Aunt Terra's house where they made homemade cheese. Isaak I ask you, "Would you like some cheese with that whine?"

Isaak's three and he's acting the part. Stubborn and sweet all mixed into one little boy. He wants to do things that he just hasn't masted yet. He wants to skip naps like his older brother, and can't function as well with less sleep. If I ask him what he wants for breakfast? He says, "What's Mica having Mommy?" I tell him, and he wants what Mica's having. Even though he really doesn't want what Mica's having at all. Yogurt goes left untouched. I won't serve him that for awhile! Food wasting isn't a habit I want to start!

Isaak secretly looks up to his older brother. Mica of course is blind to Isaak's admiration.
