Nag panchami Nandiling

[Buck Edwards]

Ate some cheese. Went to the store and got gouda, edam and montasio cheese. 

 

 

Gouda has this yellow rind that looks nice. 

 

The other one, the rind didn't come off and was stuck to the packaging. That was messy. 

Ate those. Just a bit. I cannot eat too much at a time. 

.... wrapped them in parchment paper and kept them back in the refrigerator. Good job. 

I really don't know. Both tasted a bit alike. Edam was a bit tarter and gouda was creamier bitter sweet. Edam was like sour olives. Montasio, I just couldn't take that one. It was crazy sharp tart and just stung my tongue, never have that again, I was so excited to try these. 

Lastly had some greasy crispy fried chicken just yum.

You might be right. 

 

I can't imagine thinking of a certain portion of homosexuals who are actually more "violently feminine" than most women.

Probably if the brain isn't basically androgenic, there's not enough gabaergic signaling or something like that to quiet the CNS stimulation.

Which gives this strange exaggerated character.
