I have been doing my usual holiday cooking. 30 Loaves of Raisin Bread so far, along with somewhere around 700 cookies.
Most of the cookies are spritz made with a Mirro cooky press.
In addition there are Lebkuchen, and Biscotti.
I will do another 12 loaves of Raisin Bread, but am done with the cookies.
I will box about a dozen sets of bread and cookies to ship next week.

Too broad of a question. I like most all cheeses. I tend to stay away from the milder ones but they all have their purpose. I didn't say I disliked Feta, I just don't grab it first. I like aged cheeses and stronger tasting and smelling ones.
I will often remove from the freezer, rinse and then do a cold water scrub on the surface to help remove the 'oldness'. Works quite well sometimes.
We tend to do ours asian 'restaurant' style with five spice. Sliced paper thin and served cold.
Where in Italy do they make pizza with that sauce?
Take Bechamel, add garlic, a dry cheese and voila, you have pizza white sauce. A little more modern than red sauce and rather popular to it sounds like. I use it for seafood pizzas.
I've had white pizza in upstate New York and white clam pizza in Connecticut before (both are good 🤤) but not in Italy. The closest "white" pizza I've seen in Italy is Quattro Formaggi pizza in Tuscan region of Italy (Florence).
In Italy Pizza Bianca (white pizza) is simply a pizza with nothing on it except a bit of thyme and salt.
I wonder who orders it... 😦 I mean, where's the joy in eating just pizza "crust".
Actually, bread and cheese was a normal kind of breakfast or snack in the old days, before refrigeration and TV advertising changed food habits and perceptions.
And a lot healthier for a physically active person like a farmer or road worker.
Wine is to relax after work, or at the end of a day.
I find it stupid to go to the gym...eat less, do more physical work, you will be healthier.

A little research and it looks like Pizza Bianca is also known as Roman pizza, which hints at its origin. Popular with lighter toppings including vegetables and cured meats. My guess is this was introduced as the ‘light beer’ of pizzas more intended for the fairer sex than the average construction worker.
Once I went to a pub that had a range of good food, with an acquaintance. One of the items on the menu was Beef Stroganoff, but there was also a bread-and-cheese platter. Now there is a very old, very bad, slightly off-color joke that goes "What do you call a bull masturbating in a field? Beef Stroganoff!" So my acquaintance said to the waiter, who he knew, "I'll have the 'bull masturbating in a field'", but the waiter seemed not to know the joke, looked confused for a minute, then said "Ploughman's lunch?"
