I was going to write about my vacation, but Nicky used up all the good post titles. See, I couldn’t call my post “Road Trip To New York” because it sounds too similar to Roadtrip To New Jersey. And, I couldn’t put the word “Vacation” in the title because Nicky used it in her...
Saturday night saw Mike and I hard at work at the WWFC offices, researching our next potential cheese review. After many, long arduous seconds of scouring the Internet, we decided a snack would help us focus so I suggested cheese waffles. Now while most people automatically think of Belgian waffles, I’m particularly fond of...
This week, I took Thursday and Friday off work to study and do homework and write press releases for the Tribal Blogs conference and do laundry and cook and clean and answer work emails and phone calls and comment on blogs and watch Dr. Oz talk about The China Study. Ok, so really, I took...
Times are tough, and that means that the price of cheese is through the roof! Choosing cheese is now a more frugal process because the days of giant 2 dollar slabs of marbled cheddar are gone. And it’s all because of the price of oil and rising transport costs. Or maybe not. What do...
About a month and a half ago, I was having trouble with Internet Explorer. I could open Outlook and get my emails, but I could only access Explorer in Safe Mode with Networking. And it was verrrrrrrrry slllllllooooooooow. Mike suggested I download Firefox, which I did, and all has been peachy since. Until this...

A cheese so delicious, even the most dedicated cheese-hating Finn would consider packing up and moving to Sweden just to have a taste. I’m going to tell you all about it. Some other time. That’s right. I’m not going to write about...
Quite a few people spent the last few days of 2010 looking back, reviewing the year and making resolutions. I spent the last few days of 2010 trying to drink enough to completely obliterate 2010 from my memory. Success! So, I’ve spent the last couple of days sobering up and attempting to remember parts...
En garde! The World Cheese Awards took place again and this year’s champ comes from…England! Cornish Blue, made in Liskeard by Philip and Carol Stansfield, nosed ahead of 2,600 entries from 26 countries for the win. It would seem that while France was busy being snooty, England has developed a choice of 700 homegrown cheeses while the...
…is still a cheese. Just not the right cheese. Without further ado, here are the names of all nine cheeses on our cheese platter, starting at the top, dead center, and moving kind of clockwise : Mozarella Camembert Ash-covered goat cheese or Chevre Process Gruyere wedges (Swiss Knight) Oka Cheddar Boursin with herbs Danish...
