6 Tasty Cheeses

On the sixth day before Christmas, Miscelaney sent to me 6 Tasty Cheeses

Eatin’ It Up

Although design is my life—at least writing about it—all things culinary are my favorite pastimes. I love to cook as much as I love to eat, and read cookbooks cover-to-cover like novels.

There's a lovely little outside patio so we dined al fresco, which added to the perfection of the day. Pots full of herbs and flowers lined the patio's perimeter and subtle smells of thyme and similar fragrances treated our senses with each soft breeze.

Sometimes visiting a new restaurant is like a first date. You do a quick background check on the web, get all dolled up and feel the anticipation as the “big night” draws closer. You leap into it with an open mind and hope for a happy future together over many delicious meals. Last week I had a date with Bastille.
