farmhouse => cheese
There are several local dairy farms that make and sell their own cheese. One, Bravo Farms, has opened several stores/restaurants, and also sells through local grocery stores.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_(novel)

Of course Korpela came to mind first, followed by two other Boinc project admins that also go by the name of Eric. I just thought we might get a bit stuck with that surname - or maybe predictably go ->angela->raccoons so I picked something else.

brass > track

When I was a kid (and possibly still now, I'm not sure) cheaper grades of model train track had brass rails, thus were known as brass track. The preferred material was and is nickel silver.

kitties > pests

No, that's not a typo, or a flame of cats, just a little joke about how they can be sometimes. A Facebook friend was just posting this morning about her furry alarm clocks.

Speaking of which, I need to clean the boxes today.

Glad you posted that. I was a bit put out to see kitties go to pests.
Yes, the little rascals can be a bit persistent for attention or foodsies some times.
