I don't have much first-hand knowledge about monks. But I could give you some inside stories about a few convents ;)

Oh?????

Thanks Aldege and Travis. Kathy - do tell....

Well, it's a former lifetime. Let's just say that the Holy Spirit might call women with honorable skill sets, but cooking might not be one of those skills. At one convent, we joked that as a form of penance, we would eat our own cooking. We heard about all those monks brewing tasty beverages and enjoying cheeses. In my opinion, those monks don't suffer enough ;)

Funny stories and a great puzzle

Thanks Susan!

Heather, in the early 1970s my parents went to New Zealand to visit cousins who had emigrated there. These cousins had mentioned that they missed Oka cheese, so my dad went to the monastery in Oka, which is on the outskirts of Montreal where we lived, and bought an *enormous* crated Oka wheel to bring as a gift. The last he saw of it was when it was taken off the plane in Fiji, which was very hot. The cheese never made it to New Zealand. He laughed every time he thought of the pervasive smell that would have been coming out of that crate a few days later...

Cute story Lollipop. Love Oka cheese!
