Standing Stone's Paula Butler, soon to be featured on PBS, leads participants through Old World methods of cheese and soap crafting at home during small classes held at her dairy-goat farm. During shorter cheese-making workshops, dairy manipulators learn techniques to create several daily delicacies. Beginner classes prepare cheeses such as classic french chévre, fromage blanc, and an easy 45-minute mozzarella. Intermediate students can choose from a class which features greek feta, camembert and mozzarella, or a second option which instructs on jack cheese, camembert, and mozzarella, all using farm-fresh goat milk and provided cow's milk. During a full-day session, students make the aforementioned cheeses and a burrata. Unlike neurologists midsurgery, full-day cheese apprentices can break for a lunch of artisanal cheeses, breads, and charcuterie, and students in any class can bring bottles of wine or old-timey bonnets to complement rustic bites. Classes are taught in a fun and low-key manner and take place in the dairy farm's large kitchen with 12–15 students per session.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Safeguarding Your Computer
It's a world wild web out there, full of viruses, trojan horses, and cyber mummies. Consult this guide to keeping your computer squeaky clean:
A thumbprint on your monitor might be on the inside of the screen—use a screwdriver to get it out.
There are only three safe websites: robinwilliams.net, robinwilliams.org, and will.i.am.
Keep your computer "clean" by removing all the swears from your Excel documents and deleting any pictures of people kissing.
Look out for Trons!
Draw a picture of a scarecrow in MS Paint and set it as your background. It won't stop viruses, but it will kill filthy birds near your computer.
Crumbs between keys can become sustenance for viruses to breed. Replace your keyboard every three hours.
Cell phones are tiny computers that will fit in your dishwasher. You're welcome.
