Results of the 2008 American Cheese Society Awards

In the Pacific Northwest there are some very small producers, very fun to visit. One couple in rural Washington have adopted a rainbow collection of children, many of whom work in the cheese production, happily helping you buy cheese at the farm. Great stuff.

Admit Your Lack of Wine Knowledge with Popptags

"It's all about me" is what those tags seem to say, at least to me. If I didn't know a thing about the wine I'd use a plain card, not a tag like these. And say something about the person to whom I'm giving the wine.

Grilling: Halloumi and Watermelon Salad

Brilliant! I love ideas like that. Check for local Greek markets, they have the best halloumi.

Mixed Review: Stonewall Kitchen Blueberry Pancake and Waffle Mix

My from scratch pancake mix: I mix the dry ingredients in a large jar and store up it to several weeks. When I want pancakes or waffles I have my "mix," and just add the wet ingredients.

Shows about baking bread

You are so right about the Julia series in the library. Just released (well a few months ago) on DVD, I got it from mine as well and it is not only great detail, it's hilarious at times. Check out some of her first show when she was just learning. I wrote a reasonably successful and nationally well reviewed baking book and will never know a fraction of what Julia knew.

what kind of knives do you have and how do you sharpen them ?

In most cities chefs get their knives sharpened by pros who travel around with the finest in sharpening stones. You might ask at one of your better restaurants if you want a professional sharpening done. In Portland "Mike The Knife Guy" has an $18,000 Italian sharpening system. He takes consumer knives on every other Tuesday only.
