i like an old cheddar. about 4 to 5 years old or so. i don't use a lot of cheese on the burger, just enough to add some good sharp flavour.

None for me. FWIW, my husband likes American or Velveeta.

like most people, i've had processed cheese on a burger. it's a bit too salty for me, and is not a real cheese. it has some decent flavour, but i still go with real cheddar; old.

Cheddar is my least favorite. I usually pass on it.
My favorite is Jarlsberg... I think finer than imported Swiss and half
the price:

that's funny. i love jarlsberg. but here it is more expensive than imported swiss. if i could get it for cheaper, i would. it's pricey. all these cheeses are good on a burger, but i still think that old cheddar is where it's at.

I am not crazy about cheddar in a burger, and especially not cheap
cheese slices. However, once in a while it is nice to have a chunk of
blue cheese stuffed into the burger patty.

I enjoy the old cheddar with a glass of wine. I do keep Cabot super
sharp on hand for things like cheeseburgers.

I like blue cheese but I think heating it wastes it... I think it's
also too strongly flavored for a burger... might be okay to hide a
woofy mystery meat burger, For stuffing a burger on a rare occasion
mozz works for me and it usually melts before the burger is over
cooked. I like blue cheese plain or maybe stuffed into celery. I
don't like blue cheese salad dressing either, the commercial ones use
the crappiest blue cheese and good blue cheese is too good to waste by
mixing with other strongly flavored ingredients... I prefer blue
cheese plain picked off a wedge, not smushed, crackers ruin the creamy
texture. For me the flavor and wet crunch of a fresh celery stick
works well and I prefer the bottom white portion.. the white part of
bok choy is even better. Blue cheese is best accompanied by 100 Proof
Stoli from the freezer.

Nah, Popeye just returned from a jewish ceremony. The mohel gave him
some dik snippings for snacks. Popeye always gets this way when he gets
horny for men. That's why his brother and 4 wives left and won't have
anything to do with the little sailor.

You can't make a blanket statement like that. Not everybody has a

Is it specifically bad for old people or are they just dealing with the
effects of decades of eating the stuff and having it build up for all
those years. Thanks to the rules of geometry, the more a tube is
constricted, the greater the constriction from additional accumulation.

I have a bad habit of using my lap top when watching movies on TV. I
Google the cast members to learn about them. It is amazing how many of
the big time Hollywood actors died in their 50s, usually from heart
attacks. When I was a kid there were lots of neighbours, teachers,
relatives who died of heart attacks in their 40s and 50s. That doesn't
seem to happen as much these days.

They smoked like chimneys and drank like there was no tomorrow. I
remember restaurant cooks scraping cigarette ashes off the grill.
Indoors was a perpetual haze. Genetic disposition was unknown. Liquor
was known to kill, but something else would get you first.
Cars would kill you. Food would kill you. Your job would kill you.
Random illness would kill you.
People weren't ruled by fear then. They expected to drop dead. In a
way, I miss those days.

You sound like the perfect wife. Nobody wants to be near a food
cop like a few are here. Love the guy, enjoy your years together
and be happy (and let HIM be happy)

Young doctor put my elderly parents on such a restrictive diet
that they were always hungry and couldn't even eat what they
loved. Screw that. They made it to upper 80's, can't do much
physically like they used to but at least don't take away their
food. Let them do whatever they want with the small amount of
time left.

BTW, that sounded like both died. Dad passed 2 years ago but Mom
is still doing quite well. She will be 88 soon. You go, girl!

5 healthy people I know have cancer or died in the last month. Total non smoking, no alcohol gym workouts.
I am amazed everytime I wake up and go to work.
30 drinks a day and a pack of pall mall. One hit of good 27 a night.
Only the good die young.

In the early 1990's my mother's doctor put her on a very restrictive
low-sodium, low-fat diet due to cholesterol problems. (She had a major
artery blockage in her lower leg; surgery corrected it but at first they
were afraid they might have to amputate.) She also had high blood
pressure. I remember her eating bland food like poached boneless
skinless chicken breasts. Plain rice or plain pasta. A plain baked potato.

No butter? Some sort of expensive (at the time) substitute was
recommended. I think it was Benecol. Use Lite Salt or potassium
chloride (have you ever tasted that stuff? bitter!) rather than sodium
chloride. It was around that time I found and told her about the Mrs.
Dash line of no-salt seasoning blends. It will make that bland food
taste better!

She was told to use Egg Beaters instead of whole eggs. Skimmed milk;
fortunately she already preferred it. She was taking coumadin (a blood
thinner) so she was supposed to avoid vegetables that are high in
Vitamin K. That let out things she *loved* such as broccoli, spinach,
brussels sprouts, asparagus. Suffice to say she was absolutely miserable.

Fast forward a decade or so. She told the latest doctor to take her off
coumadin. She also told him she was going to eat whatever she damn well
pleased in the years she had left. LOL

Good for her! :)

Old Bob Hope joke:
Eat healthy and exercise hard each day.
You won't live longer but it will seem like you do. :)

Another goodie from Bob:
Quitting smoking is the easiest thing to do.
I know, I've done it a thousand times.

My step-daughter is a Registered Dietitian (college degree
required) and has been working in a hospital. Seems that most of
her patients are dying and it's got her very depressed counseling
such people. Enough that she is considering changing careers.

I told her that if I was doing that and knew someone would be
dead soon anyway, I would be tempted to just blurt it out.
Hey...you're dying...eat anything you want. Let your remaining
time be happy with food at least. (I'm picturing Sam Kinison
saying that with an "ARRRGGHH" at the end of sentence).
I also told her that naturally, I would be fired immediately for
such advice but....

I also advised her to talk with other health care people and ask
how they cope with this terminal sadness.

I hate death and don't deal with it well at all. This is why I
don't even have new ferrets for now. Every few years, I had to
bury another good friend. I grieve hard and each one leaves with
a piece of my "heart." Mia was the hardest.

I've reached the very old theory (and sad one really)...Don't
start any more relationships and you won't be hurt down the road.
I tend to avoid relationship lately. That's ok for now
though...I've got cable tv, books, internet and burgers. heheh ;0

Am I happy in this state? For now at least, I've convinced
myself that this is best. I do seem happy enough. lol

Agree.

Many cheeses go with a good wine. I usta love a good zinfandel with a
"real" 2 yr old Parmasan (salty).

OTOH, where to you get yer Cabot. I usta get mine (aged 5 yrs, blk
label) during Christmas at a particular sprmkt in Pleasanton, CA.
Haven't seen it in yrs, as I now live in a remote part of CO. ;)

The Publix supermarket here has it. Many Florida residents are from
someplace else and want the foods from home so I can get a lot of brands
from the northeast. Habbersett's scrapple, Taylor pork roll, Ray's NY
Bagels. The owner of the local very good pizza place is from New York.
