Housewarming Party

Tomorrow night we're having a housewarming party. Somer and Kathy are cooking up a few things , but they left me in charge of the most exciting part: the wine and the cheese! The wine's already taken care of, as we had to buy a whole case for Thanksgiving and only used two bottles, but the cheese required a special trip to Neil's Yard Dairy in Covent Garden. Selections for tomorrow night include Montgomery's Cheddar ('the best cheddar in England'), Childwickbury - a fresh goat's cheese especially for John, Colston Bassett Stilton ('the best stilton in England'), and my favorite: Gorwydd Caerphilly - a traditional cheese that tastes a lot like Camembert, but with a texture more like a smooth cheddar.

In fairness to Somer, the things she's making will be far more interesting to most of you than my cheese obsession...check them out on her blog.

Tomorrow before the party I'm taking the girls to open drum lessons for kids at a stall in the market that sells drums from Ghana. They are VERY excited about it...woke up talking about it this morning. More tomorrow, I hope.
