Ah, cheese. This summer we're selling it and eating it. Some look awesome, some look nasty, but they all taste great!

that is the strangest looking cheese I have ever seen! I lost a daughter in 2000, but I have never written about the whole thing in bloggyland. I might do that, having seen yours.
1.) The Wabash Cannonball: its a young goat cheese rolled in a vegetable ash. Much less frightening than it looks-- a tame goat cheese with some fruity notes in the background.
2.) Texochilli Cheddar: a mild white cheddar with smoked chipotle pepper.
3.) Merieke Gouda with Nettles: a gouda aged 11 months flavored with nettles. Buttery rich with a hint of toasted caramel and the slightest bit of herb flavor.
4.) Smoked Gouda: a mild soft gouda smoked with applewood.
5.) Fresh Goat Cheese: crumble it cold on a salad or melted on pasta/pizza/anything else.
6.) White Cheddar Curds: young, squeeky, rubbery, mild. Comes in plain or Garlic and Dill.
...and with each passing moment. It was the hymn we sang at Evie's memorial. It's become a kind of theme song for us since losing our daughter. It's probably no coincidence that the songwritter Lina Sandell also experienced a tragic loss of her child. We experience both pain and pleasure, toil and rest. But we take life one day at a time: mourning her every day, but doing our best to live on.
After Evie got sick, there was something that felt good about writing out what was happening--to "tell our story" was cathartic. I'm hoping some periodic writing will have the same effect now that we are grieving her loss. Also we can use this to post pictures and write about all things in general to help ourselves remember that our life is going on.
Our second little one, Lucinda, arrived on July 5th 2009. She is the most inerestesting thing in our lives, so you can expect this space to be mostly taken over by pictures and updates about her!

For us uneducated cheese-lovers, would you fill us in on what they all are??
