We've had some special people in town this June. To celebrate the end of our 3 week visit with Ed, and to commemorate the middle of Devon's trip, and also to congratulate Rafi on his GroWA launch we ate cheese. Lots of cheese. Fancy cheese. Delicious cheese, and a whole loaf of bread. Plus a little steamed kale to complement our digestive tracks. Oh we feasted... Humboldt Fog, Cave Gruyere, Roaring 40, Austrian Tilsit, Cambozola and a flakey hard cheese I can't remember the name of. And Pate, oh the Pate; with homemade pickles and dilly beans. A bottle of Retsina and an Italian Red from Montepulciano.
There's something in appreciating good cheeses that makes one smile. Even our child knows what she likes, asking for bleu over hard and requesting slab after slap of pate. Our taste buds open, we allow ourselves to slide into a blissful state as we all reach across one another and discuss our worlds, the flavors and make toasts to one another. A special thing indeed to be family with such lovely people.
Such lovely people, who are really good at hugging.
