Cheese!! Glorious cheese!! That wonderful food that comes in so many varieties to choose from that one barely knows where to begin when describing its splendor. Robust? Earthy? Sharp? Mushroomy? Or perhaps just good and stinky.
Any way you slice it cheese has played a celebrated role in the relationship between Nancy and I from the moment I typed those fateful words on my laptop “cheese eh?” back when we found each other. Our love affair with all things cheesy started with our very first date where we shared a, romantic, oooey, gooey, cheese fondue experience. Our romance with cheese grew throughout our dating days as we explored more places where good cheese could be found and discover more types of cheese to enjoy. As Nancy and I continued on
our journey of love together we expanded our cheese horizons right up to and including our wedding day. Since that happiest of days we have made cheese part of many celebrations both as a couple and with the entire family. Its little wonder we still love and savor having a good stinky cheese together.
As a matter of fact, for our first Valentine’s Day together I chose as her gift a book of CHEESE… Laura Werlin’s “Cheese Essentials” a beautifully put together book on cheese education and information with cheeses from around the world. It still resides prominently in our kitchen to this day. Buy it here
Clearly we are cheese-aholics! In this section of our blog we will be sharing the cheesy adventures we’ve had as well as any cheesy goodness that we continue to find and all the wonderful stuff that we have discovered along the way. Just some of of those discoveries include local establishments that specialize in cheese and wine that have become some of our favorite places to frequent. We’ll share great places we have found where you can buy specialty cheeses that you have seen and perhaps want to try out. And for those who might be a bit hesitant to try a cheese that is unfamiliar to you we will occasionally do a “cheese review” in order to point out some of our cheese faves. Add to that to guidance on how to create an ultimate cheese plate for entertaining and you’ve got enough stinky, cheesy, goodness to keep the cheese lover in your life slap happy for a very long time indeed. Also, feel free to chime in with your favorite cheese stories as well, we’d love to hear them!
