Blessed are the cheesemakers!

After baring my soul (and other portions of my anatomy) last time, about the effect that Crohn's is having on my life, it seems only fair to post a bit of an update.

So far, so good!  The combination of steroids and Azathioprine seems to be working pretty well, touch wood.  I'll be very pleased indeed if this turns out to be the case, as it means

Gjetost is getting more difficult to find. For the rest, try a multi-purpose ethnic or Iranian / Lebanese store, and look in the section with the yogurt. I get some wonderful fresh things there that are a cross between partly-dried yogurt and moist cheese. Also LIDL and ALDI have some fabulosa things in the cheese line.

Glad things are working as they should, btw.

I may have to persuade F to take me down to Headingley to Maumoniat's International Stores... haven't been there in the age of a blind pig. i'm not up to trying to visit Chapeltown or Harehills, as although those are nearer, I don't know either area at all, and when we drive through the parking looks to be crap. Hmmmm - ALDI and LIDL - overdue for a visit!

There is nowt so fine as eating Wensleydale cheese and drinking Theakston's Old Peculier at a cottage less than 10 miles from both the cheesery and the brewery.

That I can well believe. I haven't been able to drink beer/ale for decades now, and will settle for just being able to get the cheese I want outta the fridge these days.
