Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, following all your instructions:
So, I got this idea to make a list of hard cheeses. I’ve been getting into cheese boards lately, you know, for parties and stuff. And I realized I didn’t really know the difference between all the hard cheeses, so I was, like, let’s do this!
First, I just started Googling around. Just typed in “hard cheeses” and went down the rabbit hole. I found a bunch of websites, some were helpful, some were…not so much.
Getting Started: My Cheese Journey
I started jotting down names. You know, like, the ones I recognized. Parmesan, of course. Cheddar. Manchego. I wrote them down on this little notepad I keep by my computer.
- Parmesan
- Cheddar
- Manchego
Then I tried to find, some common features of hard cheese, make a list for all of them.
I started to get the hang of picking them out. It was like, “Okay, this one looks dry and crumbly, that’s probably a hard cheese.”
I even went to the grocery store, you know, just to look. I went to the cheese section, and started checking labels. Took some pictures with my phone of the ones I thought fit. It was kind of fun, like a cheese scavenger hunt!
I ended up with a pretty good list, I think. I even tried a few new ones! Turns out, I’m a big fan of Gruyère. Who knew?
The whole thing took me a few hours, spread out over a couple of days. It wasn’t exactly rocket science, but it was a fun little project. And now I have a handy-dandy list for my next cheese board adventure. Mission accomplished!
