Marté sent me photos from Jonathan's 4th birthday party last month. Here I am helping my perfect, brilliant godson paint little wood stars.

Continuing my cheese tasting adventure (as much as I can while watching the sodium intake), I finally ran into a couple that didn't go over so well. Sage Derby is pretty awful stuff. The Harlech with horseradish and parsley is not too bad on hearty crackers, but you have to get past the vinegary smell first. At Cost Plus they had a lot of wine on clearance so I picked up a bottle of Cat's Phee from New Zealand for about $3 (a beverage named "cat pee" on clearance... go figure). Have not had a chance to try it yet, but can't wait.
