The difference between mild, medium, and mature Cheddar cheese

The difference between mild, medium, and mature Cheddar cheese is their age.
Mild Cheddar - about 3 months of age
medium Cheddar - about 5 to 6 months
mature Cheddar - around 9 months
extra Mature - around 15 months
Vintage cheddar- 18 months to 2 years

As Cheddar matures so it's taste develops from the young creamy taste of mild Cheddar to complex, lasting, slightly nutty flavours of mature Cheddar and beyond. These more mature (extra mature or vintage) Cheddars tend to have a characteristic sweet, nutty flavour.

Walk to Work, Walk to School

Day journey of a single working mum with two children

I don't drive.

Every week day, I send my little one to her nursery that is 0.2 miles from home (it takes 3 minutes). Then I send my old kid to school that is 0.7 miles from the nursery (takes 15 minutes). After that I go to office that is 0.8 miles from the school (takes 20 minutes).

In the evening, I first collect my old one from her after school care which is 1.3 miles from my work (it takes me 25 minutes), then to the little one's nursery that is 1.1 miles from the after school care (takes 22 minutes). Finally, bring both children home (again 0.2 miles and 3-minute walk).

Totally, my daily walking distance is 4.3 miles and I spend 1.5 hours on the road.
Miles: 0.2 + 0.7 + 0.8 + 1.3 + 1.1 + 0.2 = 4.3 miles
Minutes: 3 + 15 + 20 + 25 + 22 + 3 = 1 hr 30 min

The actually time I spend is 2 hours (one hour in the morning, and one in the evening) if you count the time sign-in and sign-out children, a very brief talk to their teachers, etc. It means I have to leave office at 5 pm sharp, or I won't be able to collect the little one form nursery by 6 pm which may result a late-collection fine.

Aries - Career and Money in 2011

Are you worried about your financial situation, Aries? Don't panic. Many others are in the same boat. You'll want to work hard and make as much money as you can, but don't forget to cut your expenses as well - that's your key to success this year.

You'll find it exhilarating to watch your money grow once you curb some spending. The good news is that your job is likely to go very well, and the higher ups will appreciate you that much more. This means more chances for raises, promotions, and/or bonuses.

Advancing your career won't be as easy as you wish it could be, though. It's going to take effort, skill, and patience. Patience could be your biggest challenge. You want everything yesterday! Remember that attaining goals takes time, so don't walk away from any dream before you've given it your all.

If you want something bad enough, and are willing to put in the effort, it should come in its own time. Hang in there.

Aries - Personal and Social Life in 2011

2011 will be a busy year, Aries. You could find yourself working twice as hard to accomplish whatever comes your way, but careful planning before you start could render things easier for you. In the long run, however, your efforts will pay off.

The main difficulty this year could be your innate impatience - there could be a test of character for you. Move slowly and diligently, and the results you want should manifest and be appreciated by the right people.

Relationships with friends and family members could become strained. You may have to put in extra effort in 2011 to keep your bonds with them as strong as ever.

Your finances will be stable as long as you keep working as hard as usual. But don't drive yourself too hard. Eat right and exercise when you can. Get plenty of rest. Your health and strength will have ups and down. Take good care of yourself, and it can all be done.
