Stolen cheese otherwise known as Stilton blue cheese. We call it Stolen though around these parts as even though its named after the town of Stilton where it was made famous-it was actually made in the Melton area and STOLEN! Apparently we in Melton will not let this go.

As far as I know, A&R is "artist and repertoire"... in a record company, I think you scout out new talent, and build a name for them, or something like that.

Haha, that's so random. It's so easy to forget that real people that you visit live in more real places than NYC, San Fran, DC, etc. I used to live in Bethesda. Now I live a mile or two East of it.
