wine & cheese

This is a little stream of thoughts on my newest re-discovered love, wine & cheese.  What do you think when you think wine & cheese?  I think: mmmmmmm...

But beyond that, I think a completely relaxed state, a warm happy friend, in a perfect world - some kind of gentle warm music, a sort of 'whole in the wall' restaurant, and maybe Paris outside the door.  And then of course, unlimited wine, and cheese, although in a wine & cheese combination there is always enough cheese, and almost always enough wine.

I have always been called mouse, but never because of cheese, because, in truth, I barely ate cheese until a few years ago.  I only ate one kind of cheese, and only with breakfast.  Before leaving to live in Spain, I realized that I should try to gain an appreciation for olives (which I did, and it came in very handy), and somewhere along with sumptuous olives came sumptuous cheeses.  The best of Spain was manchego cheese with Andalusian sherry.

And so it happened, that here I am now, blogging about wine & cheese...
