Much unlike many a magazine editor who recommends you buy all sorts of crap that they most likely got for free, your Jezebel staff doesn’t get jack shit (other than books, unsolicited). And that’s how it should be. But on our own time, in our personal lives, we still buy stuff. So this is Worth It, our daily recommendation of random things that we’ve actually spent our own money on. These are the things we buy regularly or really like, things we’d actually tell our friends about. And now we’re telling you.
My hometown is in rural northwestern Wisconsin, 80 or so miles due south of Duluth, Minnesota and about 90 miles northeast of the Twin Cities. As of the 2000 census, there were 1,262 people who lived there. My high school football team didn’t win any games my junior or senior year. Aside from the occasional watercross debacle or impromptu mudding competition, people up north keep to themselves, and there’s not a whole lot up there unless you like deciduous forests, ice fishing, deer hunting, having Sean from The Real World: Boston as your Congressmen, and terrible cell phone reception.
But there is one thing we do up north that never fails to impress: cheese. Specifically, cheeses from the Burnett Dairy Co-Op’s cheese store in Alpha, Wisconsin. And now, thanks to the internet, I can order them by mail. This is going to be the best Christmas ever.
