When my pal Parizeau called Canada not a real country I had no sympathy...but he missed that one point on which we might have had shared ground - a lack of decent cheese rolling opportunities. The caption for the above from the BBC "In Pictures" site today was this: • “This competitor is one of …

Even though my weakened condition finds me eating Habitant pea and ham soup laced with an ungodly amount of Sambal Oelek, a firey Indonesian or Malaysian red chili paste, I am still able to think of foods of the last few days: • Fish feed for Christmas Eve. Mike Mundell's shop is a gem which I …

...it's off to work I go... • Things to note: • Despite it being December 23rd, and it falling on a Friday, I full intend to be as productive as I would be on April 17th. Really. I. do. • I don't plan to take a holiday break from blogging. Plenty do. Not me. I will have nothing to write …

I have day-dreamed of more blogs. I run this organ for my general observations, A Good Beer Blog for barley hopply sipping and write at the e-Group to argue Canadian politics. But I imagine I could do a twelve post a year blog on sherry and one with perhaps a little better pace about cheese …
Caraway

Caraway. Flavours are trendy and caraway is so out of favour, I think it will be the next big thing. I have a block of caraway cheese from Black River Cheese that is remiding me of how that flavour was so much more prominent in my youth. Mate to salmon as well as rye bread, not to mention akavit …
