My How Time Flies – Updates & The Great Amateur Cheese Adventure.
It has been almost a month since I last posted something. What can I say, life has been hectic and there hasn’t been much to report on the cheese front. Well other than we are days away from the Inaugural Canadian Amateur Cheesemaking Awards, which I will be attending (more on that later). I do…

The Would Be Cheese Plate – Update on various cheeses
I was debating about creating a separate post for each of these cheeses, but I figured it would be easier to combine the post and give you something to look at. Besides nothing is really ready to open, except…. Reblochon at 71 Days Now at this point you would expect the cheese to be orange…
