I'm pretty sure shroom vaccum will read this: I found the sap sago cheese. If you search for "sapsago cheese" you won't find near as much as "sap saga cheese". I'm thinking about ordering some to try. I called the toll free number to check on shipping and the guy said for $7.95 they ship up to three pounds of cheese to Ohio, I imagine Michigan would be about the same. If you order 100 pounds, shipping is free. I was looking over the site and wondered if it would be worth going together to place a large order of all different kinds of cheeses. It would cost me some to ship each person there share but it might be worth it to have the chance to sample many different kinds of cheeses.

If anyone is interested please chime in!

Was in a local bakery yesterday, selling them black walnuts, ground peppers etc. As I was turning to leave something in the glass case caught my eye, SAP SAGA CHEESE!!!! I couldn't believe it. Three ounces was $5.95, not as good of a deal as the mail order place but I had to buy one. The guy suggested mixing it with blue cheese. I had just bought some the day before so when I got home I opened both and had a sample with some crackers. That sap saga tastes like nothing I have ever had. The wife kept going on about how bad the smell was but that turned out to be the blue cheese. Anyone want a sample of the sap saga?

[miker]

Steo, sap saga is a great cheese, next time you make lasagna, add some to it:thumbup:

If anybody is interested in pickling cukes this year, this be the plant! 40 plants in 2 per mound, 20 mounds produced over 300 lbs of cukes,mike

[Frank]

Alright! :thumbup: In that case (ratio cukes to plant) I plan on planting a bunch.
Maybe 2 or 3. :eyeroll:

[miker]

Frank, this cuke is unbelieveable, look at em on a Tuesday, and their 2 inches long, Look at em on Thursday and their 6 inches long,mike

[Frank]

How are they for slicers miker? I like my slicers small and firm. I don't care for them when they are too large or too juicy. In other words I like to rub off the spines and eat them, or slice them and put into vinager, water, salt and pepper.

[miker]

Good Frank, when you catch em in the 3 to 4 inch range, but you have to be on top of em, as they can blow up quick to 3 inches around and 8 inches long,mike

[Frank]

Is there any such thing as a cuke that will remain small. In the 3 to 5 inch range?
Or a very slow grower?

[miker]

Frank, I think the national pickler will, there are European types that won't make it over 5 inches, saw the site yesterday, will look again tommorrow night,mike

[Frank]

Post it when you find it miker. I appreciate it. i don't like large cukes.
Raw or pickled. Well.... not entirely true. I still eat them regularly. LOL
But I like the texture and flavor of the young small ones best.

[shroom vaccuum]

The bigger pickles would be good for that relish miker.

[Frank]

That's all i use the big ones for Sue.

Well, when I was a kid, I used to cut in half and make boats out of them too. LOL

[RonT]

Have a quick question for you guys. I usually get me seeds from Gurneys, www.gurneys.com. Why is Reimer Seeds better? Do they offer more or have better prices? I'm not always sold on what I get from Gurneys, and they seems a little expensive, which is why I normally buy right now when they offer discounts and coupons. Thanks.

[miker]

Ron, reimers offers alot of hard to find seeds, that are usually well priced for the quantity, I usually rely on Gurneys and Henry Fields for my bulk seed orders, beans,corn, seed tapes, etc, can't beat their prices on the bulk,mike

[Judy]

I agree with Miker. I use Henry Fields and have for years. Hard to beat and their onion sets are expensive but so good and BIG. Judy
