Some of the questions were from the posts here on this board, some of them were sent to my email. Next time i answer some, i will post the questions also.
This week: a little time off from doing the band thing, which is good. I still have to put my 4 wheeler back together before toddler gets here this weekend to go camping. It looks like we will be playing somewhere every weekend of August, so a week of camping, riding, and hanging out at the fair should be fun. Now that i think about it, i'd bet todd has never been to a strip club........

When Maurice Allais was growing up, his parents owned a small cheese shop. Cheese would figure greatly into Maurice's early life and would influence his entire professional and personal career. His first bed was made out of cheese, as were all the furnishings and indeed, even his clothing. Needless to say, in elementary school he was often harried by small-minded children and small-bodied rodents. His favorite shirt was made of Crottin de Champcol, a versatile goats milk cheese. Pascal Jacquin put a lot of effort into this cheese so that it can be enjoyed from young, for salads and crostini, to old, for grating. Crottin de Champcol is made in the Loire around Sancerre and Berry, and is named for the tiny village of Champcol. Crotin in French means horse or mule dung. Not a particularly appetizing description but nonetheless a rich a flavorful cheese. Crottin Jacquin are produced in Berry, near Cher. Driven to long days of lonely play by cheese-ostracizing peers, young Maurice turned to scientific experiments to fill his time. He built his first cheese pendulum at the age of 8. It was made with Argentinian Reggianito cheese. The vast grazing pastures of Argentina revealed themselves to be ideal for immigrant Italians wishing to produce Parmesian cheeses in the new world. Reggianito translates to little Reggiano, so called because instead of a massive 80 lb. drum, the Reggianito cheese is produced in 15 lb wheels. Reggianito is cured longer than any other South American hard cheese which enhances its flavor. This cheese tastes a little saltier than its namesake, but the white crystals in the Grana are not salt grains, they are due to the lactose in the milk which breaks down into free amino acids. Because the cheese was so hard, it was perfect pendulum building material. It was with this pendulum that Maurice discovered the “Allais Effect”.
