Bunny Meets Owl



Un Ano!

Yes. One big huge grand long year ago, two little lovers tied the knot. So sweet. Someone then baked someone a very very almost-too large very very very chocolate cake. Also, so sweet!

Cheese Class


Narragansett Creamery held a class titled "Cheesemaking 101" a few weekends ago. We got a great response.

The class filled quickly even though we needed to charge $165. For that price, students got a day filled with teaching, cheesemaking kits, a very gourmet lunch and wine-tasting plus over $50 worth of cheese to take home.

I think it sounds like a good deal though the teacher in me would also do it for free. ... Learning to run a business ain't easy.

But people were veryveryvery happy. Here a student is learning to stretch mozzarella. My rule of thumb is "If you are having fun, the water is too cold". Her's apparently wasn't.

Choppie B Eats His Shhhhuga

Here Choppie B is indulging in some locally made gelato. We were at the New Amsterdam Farmers' Market and the gelato was cranberry, or something, made by the Bent Spoon.

I liked the stuff for the most part- but didn' love it. Too much cinnamon. Choppie thought it was astringent and delightful.

On the Come Up


Little Lang is on his way up. This past week he's started to be able to hold himself in the sitting up position if we set him there.

Being anyway other than flat out on the floor makes him quit happy, of course.

New Amstedam Market


Here's another shot of us at New Amsterdam Market, NYC. We sold our probiotic yogurt, kettle-heated ricotta, Divine Providence (gouda) and Atwell's Gold (aged asiago).

Little Cheese Big Apple


Three weeks ago we went, for the second time, to the New Amsterdam Farmer's Market in NYC. It was the weekend before Halloween and we couldn't help but theme ourselves. Pattie was a witch (a friendly one). Markie was old-school. I was a pirate. Alberto was a cheesehead.

We got in a little bit of trouble for asking customers to 'ask for us' at local cheese markets (i.e. Eli Zaabars). Oh well.
