Valentines Day Cheese Craziness


Valentines at the Dwyers

the Mr. and I decided to nosh on some exported, fine cheeses and a bottle of red. So that's just what we did..a chunk of Vermont White cheddar (obviously not exactly exported, more like imported!), a chunk of fresh Romano, and some lovely smoked gouda. (I was recently told by notorious chef friend Heather:) that it's pronounced "who du". I didn't argue with her because she can out cook Julia Child.

Anyway. I sliced up a nice Granny Smith apple to compliment our Cabernet and cheese fest and delighted in the fact that the kiddos were eating one hand crafted gluten free cheese pizza and would give us a few moments to savour our delightful, valentines snack.

Perfect, simple little Valentines day with my beautiful, pink tulips on the table while I dreamt away in cheese land...I thought this is fabulous!

Well the little tykes wolfed their pizza down and then got curious at our fromage. Soon they were sampling the finest gouda & white cheddar. The Mr. and I were so nervous about our gluten containing crackers and the forbidden crumbs flying anywhere, I don't even remember the taste of the anticipated Triscuit! As I went to retrieve more cheese for the hungry, little tots off my awesome Sanktou knife laying all french across the cutting board, I returned to see baby Jack finger licking a sample of my cabbie. And he reports.."eww..yuck..wine.."

ahhhh...such a wonderfully, romantic Valentines Day. ha!
