Put your skis up and rest awhile at my Charcuterie Chalet! The structure is freestanding and built of interlocking grissini. The roof is made of crackers shingled with salami. There are cornichon cobblestones, pomegranate seed lights, and rosemary trees. I used homemade queso as my mortar along with some cream cheese. The snow is a mix of parmigiano and pecorino. And for a little surprise, a potato stone chimney! I had a lot of fun planning and building this, but I think next year I might hire a general contractor and licensed carpenter! 🎿 🫕 #charcuteriechalet #cheesemonger #acsccp #certifiedcheeseprofessional #cheeseplate #cheeseplatter #charcuterieboard #salami #cheese #cheeselover #charcuterie #homebuilder #ilovecheese #praisecheesus #curdnerd #christmasspirit (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIf9eDpAwpz/?igshid=l15vuwz3clf6

Spanish Cheese Board- created for last month’s tapas themed cookbook club, and featuring only ingredients from Spain. Cheeses: 6 month Manchego, Monte Enebro, and Mahon Meats: Jamon Serrano and Mild Chorizo Extras: Tortas de Aceite, Quince Paste, Fig Almond Cake, Marcona Almonds I love putting together boards with a concept or theme, and Spanish is actually one of the easiest to achieve. The Monte Enebro was a real standout; a goat cheese with an ash and blue mold rind, it’s tangy and creamy with just the right amount of bite. Have any questions about putting together a cheese board? I can help! #cheese #cheeseboard #thatcheeseplate #cheeseplate #cheeseplatter #cheesemonger #curdnerd #americancheesesociety #spanishthemed #spanishcheese #cheeselover #monteenebro #praisecheesus #cookbookclub (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1jYfHbgfgU/?igshid=sipbrqzka1n9

Exactly 2 weeks left until my Certified Cheese Professional exam. I’ve spending my afternoons studying, taking practice tests, and making flash cards. And, of course, eating a lot of cheese. This is a throwback to when I first started in the cheese business, a full 3ish years ago. The board was inspired by the movie/book The Martian by Andy Weir. Hence- lots of orange, red, and potatoes. The ‘ice caps’ are an herbed parm blitz to dip the potatoes in. #cheesemonger #cheeseboard #americancheesesociety #ccp2019 #themartian #andyweir #curdnerd #thatcheeseplate #culturemagazine #praisecheesus #cheesussaves #cheesechurch #literaryfood #mars #cheeseplate #cheeseplatter #mimolette #feedfeed #buzzfeedfood #f52grams #entertaining #imsomartha (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0BwzUTAcXa/?igshid=zdairpa3xknr

I’m super excited to announce that I was awarded a spot in the Certified Cheese Professional Training Program through my day job! That means that after next week it will be all cheese, all the time! (Don’t worry, there’ll still be plenty of tea for you.) But I will be spending an inordinate amount of time learning nearly everything there is to know about cheese. At the end of July I will take the @american_cheese_society exam and hopefully pass to gain the CCP title! Any fellow CCP’s out there- any and all advice, recommendations, and tips are welcome!! 🧀 🧀 🧀 #cheese #cheesetoo #thatcheeseplate #cheeseplate #cheesemonger #curdnerd #certifiedcheeseprofessional #cheeseplatter #cheesetray #midnightmoon #esquirrou #ossauiraty #charcuterie #kaltbachgruyere #gruyere #ccpintraining #praisecheesus #cheesechurch (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bru16x_l085/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jn8p4bdghidv

- [ ] Shop - [ ] Gas - [ ] Pay rodent bill - [ ] Call Barron - [ ] Pay Rosario - [ ] Dishes - [ ] Unpack - [ ] Laundry - [ ] Hand wash - [ ] Try on clothes - [ ] I was just in Palm Springs over the weekend celebrating my Grandma, who is turning 90 this year! We threw a tea party in her honor on Saturday, and this cheese plate was the main event. I loaded it with a little something for everyone: fromage d’affinois, robusto gouda, sweet red cheddar, marcona almonds, peppadews, castelvetrano olives, dried apricots, strawberries, and parm crisps. 🧀🧀🧀 There was loads of other food too, but I always like a stunning cheese tray right in the middle of the table. #tea #teatime #teaparty #afternoontea #cheese #cheeseplate #cheeseplatter #cheesetoo #thatcheeseplate #praisecheesus #cheesechurch #cheesemonger #cheesetray #brie #cheddar #gouda #homemade #cheeselover #tealover #foodporn #imsomartha #curdnerd https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkFp7VlUXm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15slwvpksyy9d

Another cheese tray for my favourite customer! It’s her husbands birthday today, so he got a big fat chocolate cupcake right in the middle! I threw a few extra goodies on there too, like the chocolate covered figs. It’s not my birthday and it’s not technically my Friday, but I wish it was, just so I would have an excuse to make one of these for my dinner. 🧀 🎂 #cheese #cheeseplate #cheesetray #cheesemonger #curdnerd #cheeseplatter #cupcake #birthday #delicedebourgogne #gouda #peppadew #albinacitynuts #rusticbakery #crackers #driedapricots #marconaalmonds #cheesechurch #praisecheesus #cheeselife (at Bellingham, Washington)
