Chocolate. Travel. Great food.

Like brie, but fresher-tasting, clearer, a touch lighter. Eat everwhere you would eat brie, and then some.

My suggested serving:
AkMak Crackers, Merry Goat Round cheese, real maple syrup (trust me here) and Pinot Noir (I like the French Rabbit 2006 – yes, in a box).
-Put a 1/4 cup maple syrup in a shallow bowl
-Slice the cheese
-Dip one side of cheese in maple syrup
-Put on cracker
-Consume with the pinot noir
-Feel pleasingly decadent.

A perfect “late night I can’t sleep because I ate too much dark chocolate so I might as well read a book” snack.
Helps if you don’t limit yourself with convention. When the intuition says “Put a little maple syrup on it”, try it.

caprikorn cheddarCaprikorn Farms Goat Milk Cheddar. I’m eating it on everything this week from nachos to crackers to straight off the knife. How it can be lighter than any other cheddar I’ve had, yet so rich at the same time, I don’t know. Maybe it’s magic goats. A perfect cheese for summer. Available at the Greenbelt Farmer’s Market, Sundays from 10am-2pm.
