Vermont Creamery's Cheese Board Advice

After a Long Day's Work...

...Some are comforted with an ice cold beer or tall glass of red... others, alongside a wedge of room temperature d'Affinois and toasted sourdough.


Fromager d'Affinois is a French double-cream (cow's milk).  As soft as a triple cream, with slightly less fat content characterizing it technically as a double (cream).  It's smooth, mild, buttery, and when the day demands a cheese-pit-stop on your way home, a great go-to with rarely a bite leftover.


So tonight I did end up enjoying it with this incredible Sauvignon Blanc; but really, I just needed the cheese.

I'm Sorry.

While I realize approximately 6 people check this blog (and have probably given up by now), I felt the need to apologize for my lack of posts in 2012.  With tragedies and wedding planning I put this on the back-burner until we return from our ITALIAN honeymoon mid-may.  I haven't given up on this blog!


I came across this great little write up about pairing blue cheese with blackberries today, and I wanted to share it.  If you do not check thekitchn.com regularly, you should!  It is one of my favorites.


So enjoy some blue cheese and blackberries and please cross your fingers for good weather in Southern California on April 28th.  I'll see you in June.

Necessary Cheeses.

My deepest apologies for not following through on my New Year's resolution.  The truth is, 2012 has not been kind to us so far.  At the end of January Matt and I lost our ever-faithful sidekick, our third musketeer, the light of our little family, our pup Zoe.  Needless to say it's been a difficult road to recovery.

I have been continuing to snap photos and will have plenty to share with you soon.  It's just going to be a moment to get them all in blog-form.

In the meantime I saw this article on The Kitchn recently, and had to share.
