Norwegian Port Salut just doesn't sound all that orthodox to me. But apparently it is all orthodox… the French wiki page does indicate that the Port Salut brand was bought by Bel in 2012 and that these days there are multiple factories all over Europe that make the cheese. Oh, and the Port-Salut Abbey no longer makes any cheese at all, actually all of agricultural activities have stopped there. Sigh. I guess another tradition gone.

I don't have lists of lists but I do have a tiny notebook that's filled with lists. Some lists are a one-off "I have to buy this or I will die (not really but you know)" lists, others are lists of "books I should look for at the library" to which I keep on adding new stuff, and then there are two lists of "random stuff I usually like to have with me when I travel" where I make checkmarks in a different colour for each trip… and I should definitely consolidate those two lists. Anywho, that "moving out" list was actually moved to Evernote about twenty minutes after the photo was taken. Mainly because I realised that in order to get stuff done I would have to break down everything into tiny incremental actions and I hate writing in tiny writing. And that reminds me that I had one of those modern-day philosophical moments this morning as I was brushing my teeth - just what the hell will happen to me when Evernote bites the dust? (Note the "will happen" because I'm such an optimist.) The thing is, maybe I'll stop using it long before then, maybe something better will come out before then and I'll be able to migrate all my stuff there… but still. I should probably make a back-up of Evernote. Remind me to add that to one of my to-do lists. And now the circle is complete.
