Well it’s Sunday again, which means I’m about to bombard you with pictures. This weekend we got a chance to take a cheese, wine, and jazz class at Standing Stone Farm and I’ve got to say, it was really fun. I had no idea you could whip up two cheeses and some homemade butter in under 3 hours. I’ve been planning to have a few people over for a wine, beer, cheese, fruit, and chocolate pairing party sometime next month so you can bet we’ll be making fresh cheese and butter for that. In the meantime, I’ll have to come up with a shorter name.
Other than that our weekend has been pretty chore-oriented. We did work in our weekly walk. Nature is looking a little less dead, but I can’t wait for spring. Here’s some pictures for your viewing pleasure (Josh even got in on the action).
After that I worked on expanding my light & Lightroom skills. Optimus was a pretty good sport.
Mmmm we also made de-licious pretzel bread with cheese sauce. I’ve made a few pretzel recipes in my time, but these are by far my favorite. LOVE them. The cheese sauce we just kind of came up with on our own. I was impressed! It was creamy and spicy and very pretzel worthy.
Here’s the recipe for the cheese sauce….
6 oz Cracker Barrel Chipotle white cheddar cheese
3 oz cream cheese
1 tsp prepared mustard
2 tbl milk
Melt and top with a few green onions if you wish. Whala- pretzel worthy cheese sauce.
Ohhhh I also talked Josh into watching Downton Abby! SO good. We’re done with season one already. Seriously I’m about to renew my Hulu plus subscription to watch season two.
Our first small group experience went pretty well I thought. I enjoyed all the people and didn’t feel like I was completely out of place and/or overwhelmed by a slew of strangers. Here’s to new experiences.

We haven’t yet gotten a chance to run up to Franklin to get our glassblown paperweights, but I’ll be sure to put up some pictures next week when we do. I think they turned out fairly well but when you take them out of the oven (eh hem, not the proper term but whatever) they all look red-orange. We’ll see!
I better get to bed since I’m 85 on the inside. Hope you have a good weekend!
