Who cut the cheese?

Today one of the stories on the assignment board that I just had to have was a lady carving a 500 pound block of Wisconsin cheddar into a Minnesota Viking. These are the kind of stories I really get a kick out of. I mean, who does this stuff?

Apparently, Sarah, "The Cheese Lady" does. She's been carving up cheese for 15 years all around the country. She's carved up everything from Brett Favre as a cheesehead to an astronaut at the US Air and Space Museum. There's something rather ironic about Sarah carving Wisconsin cheese into a Minnesota Viking, and several people noted it.

Sarah says cheddar cheese carves up the best, and it's much like working with clay. The difference? "You can't make a mistake because you can't put it back. If you do make a mistake, you get to eat your mistake."

Yum. Good thing I'm not a cheese carver.
