Gratitude, after all, is the number one key to happiness.

Please take a moment this holiday season to show gratitude for all those who work to put beautiful things on your table and in your home this time of year. Take a moment to imagine the time they spent away from their own family to do that for you. Whether it’s your sister-in-law or the staff at the local deli. Someone did the work - and probably at some level of sacrifice.

I hope that instead of getting frustrated when it’s not perfect you’ll smile and thank them for their efforts.

That’s my public service announcement for today. Be kind. Show gratitude and grace. I bet you’ll get it back.

Cheese cones by a crackling fire (and I didn’t even have to carry wood). Thank you Marin French Cheese Company for making your Triple Crème Brie so accessible and easy to love. Thank you Mimolette for being Fall’s favorite color.

How are you spending this gorgeous Fall day?

Cheese board two ways! I built a demo board this morning for a private virtual event but didn’t want to waste the work so afterward I reconfigured it as a to-go board for my kid’s magical fifth grade teacher. Which way do you like it best?

I’m getting so good I can make these cheese cones in 30 seconds!!! 🤣 Okay, so they actually take FOR.EVER but I’m finding efficiencies and getting better, faster, harder, stronger. Cheese on, my friends.

For this week’s installment of ‘Find the Cheese Cones’ we find ourselves in an early 20th century Edwardian/Craftsman home in the super desirable Bushrod neighborhood of North Oakland. This gorgeous home boasting original redwood features is accentuated by sumptuous slices of Manchego, Fiscalini cheddar and smoked creamy jack from Sierra Nevada cheese. You just never know what delights you’ll find in Bushrod. :-)

Come for the real estate, stay for the cheese.

The sweltering weather has the Bay Area positively melting. Our homes are not built for triple digit temperatures. People from outside the area are generally surprised to find that most of us don’t have air conditioning and even fewer even have insulation.

To beat the heat we opted out of cooking and instead threw together summer’s favorite dish - caprese salad with fresh mozzarella and basil and gardens straight from the garden. I also threw gazpacho ingredients in the blender for a minute or so and we drank to our health. Thank you to my friend Lisa for the amazing gazpacho recipe that I’ve been making for 15 years. Thanks also to Galbani Cheese for the yummiest fresh mozzarella.

We will survive this heat wave in style!!

Holy heatwave. My Tempest thermometer clocked 114 degrees F for the second day in a row and I wasn’t sure I believed it so I tested with my kitchen thermometer as well. 113.5 in the dappled shade on our deck!! Right now it’s 88 in the house at my desk with towels covering all the windows. Please send ocean air our way!

What an absolute joy to be able to create this cheese board for a baby shower. The theme was light pink and sage and I thought I’d never find those colors in the late summer garden but the universe provided.

I couldn’t help myself but to upgrade two of the cheeses from what the customer ordered.

Manchego is running through the middle but top left is Montgomery’s cheddar (one of the best cheeses exported to us from the UK) and bottom right is Tarentaise by Springbrook Farm, one of the best cheeses made in the US. :-D

I hope they loved it as much as I did.

How gorgeous is this Red Hawk oil paining? I totally covet it. In fact, all of Mike Geno’s cheese paintings are stunning. I have a friend who had custom chair cushions made with his art. Brilliant move, Cheese Journeys

Check out his art - the one I really wanted (Dirt Lover) has already been sold but there are plenty of others for you cheese lovers out there (including this Red Hawk). I’ll be totally jealous if you get it but also happy for you! 😍

Also, is moving his studio and offering a 30% discount on his artwork. If you buy it from his site he’ll refund the 30%. He also offers payment plans so feel free to reach out to him directly.
