[Cheese] cheese coloring

[Beth Hill]

i have achiote powder for seasoning beans and rice.  hmmm..  maybe  
i'll try it.  i guess if it leaves a flavor behind, i can use my  
cheese in mexican dishes. :)  i saw annatto in a catalog from where i  
got my cheese wax so at least i know i can get it if i want to.   
thanks again.
Beth
