Check out this SNOW SHADOW from State College, PA. After a snow squall rolled through, the sun came out and melted the snow on the ground except in the area where the tree cast its shadow. So cool!

For centuries, cheesemakers have used ash in cheese for several reasons: to protect the curds, help with rind formation, support the ripening process, and provide an attractive visual contrast to white mold or pale yellow paste. While it’s typically used on soft cheeses like bloomy rinds, ash can be found running through aged cheeses and is used to create a dramatic black color on the rind of some hard cheeses, too.
The story has it that ash was first used to protect leftover curds from the evening milking. The cheesemaker would sprinkle a layer of ash from the fire atop the curds to protect them from insects until the wheels could be topped with a batch of fresh curds the next morning.

Isn’t she lovely?
