COTSWOLD – A cheese shout out video

My husband asked me what my video was about and I said, Cotswold. He replied with, "that's boring", which is surprising, since we have been together for a long time and even have a child together and anyone who is even a neighbor 4 doors down, knows that Cotswold is one of my favorite cheeses. I'll forgive him because he enjoys doing laundry and feeds me well. I created a post a while back about creating cheese plate envy on a budget and that cheese plate included Cotswold. The truth is, Cotswold can be found on my fancy cheese arrangements [...]

Turns out she was only crazy. (kidding mommy) [...]

I can't speak for anyone else, but at age 41, this procreating thing has put me into an existential tail spin and also made me a little tired. I probably could have written posts about just anything to satisfy the crowd that believes "YOU HAVE TO POST WEEKLY, AT LEAST!!!" or it is blog suicide. [...]

NOT ALL SALAME IS CREATED EQUAL – Meet OLLI

I was going to write about several products that stood out at the Winter Fancy Food Show that took place in San Francisco in January of this year and when I began to write about OLLI Salumeria as my first favorite, I realized that I could dedicate a entire post to them alone, so I did. Stay tuned for the favorite product recap, but this one is all about OLLI. OLLI SALAME I had consumed a fair amount of OLLI salamis prior to tasting them at the show. I rarely purchase tasty meat products based on packaging, but I admit [...]
