Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery
Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen. This is a cheese that needs - possibly even demands - some heat. Now I know the kitchen is a bit of a foreign place for the cheese-lover - I mean what use is there of fry-pans or cook-pots? Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child. Roll forward a dozen years and a few more, and this is Raclette. The bitter-edged teenager child - probably miffed that Cheddar failed to find and defeat that foe. Raclette is a cheese...
The Masquerade was especially well run this year, with a quiet cocktail party setting to begin with and the loud party aspect after the judging. This allowed people to show off their costumes and chat before getting down to the music of The Measure.
ReplyDeleteCan I share the photos of Emmy and I with friends and family on Facebook? Let me know. These are the only photos of us I've been able to find thus far (I forgot to take photos on the night!)
ReplyDeleteNancy Lorenz - Sure, but if you wait until tomorrow, and look in on http://www.lympago.com, you'll have high resolution versions you can link to.
