No, 
But before anyone rushes to move up here, I should point out that 
there's still snow three feet deep everywhere except the roads 
themselves, and it's near impossible to find a place to live within 
twenty miles of the aforementioned sole city (Burlington).
 
 And another thing, Amy. Last night I wound up buying a TWO-POUND 
block of Cabot Hunter's ("Seriously Sharp") Cheddar because you 
reminded me of it. Do you know how much cheese that is!? I had to cut 
it into three parts and put two in the fridge to eat later- two-
thirds of it was still too big for a single baggie!

Now looking for recipes involving cheddar cheese.
