I thought I made my last "Snakes on a ..." joke

Today I was running with my iPod cranked. Admittedly, the song on loop was "Livin' la vida loca." I know. So a bicyclist blows past me, and I'm 1) embarrassed to be listening to 1998's Ricky Martin tinky-tinky-woot song and 2) intrigued by an odd thickness around the cyclist's neck.

I sped up to check it out, and saw it was a huge snake looped around his neck, the scales looking smooth next to the deep red grains in his neck. The curl of its tail hung near his stomach, and its small head bobbed underneath the biker's chin. His face was red and mean in a blank way; the snake curled just right to give me the eeby-jeebies. And just as he turned his head to find me in pursuit, as I saw the snake's small head follow his gaze, I thought maybe sometimes it pays not to look twice.

Jennie!!! At long last, after nearly 2 years of waiting since the last, we get another post. More posts please! (But less Ricky Martin, if you don't mind). What has happened in the meantime?

You know, sometimes there just isn't a better way to transport a snake.

I'm sorry. I promise, I am about to start blogging more. 2009! Telling Stories (www.tellingstoriesmusic.org) has taken most of my attention.

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.
