CHEESE TASTING AT
STAR PROVISIONS
We’re always pleased to join Tim the Cheese Guy at Star
Provisions at his monthly cheese tasting. We always have a great time and learn
about pairing cheese and wine. This Friday, we really enjoyed the Comte cheese.
You can hardly find it here in the US, and Juhl’s British firm gets it for Tim.
Great job, Juhl and Tim! Thanks!
BRENDA AND HEIDI
My dear friends Brenda and Heidi met me at the Marietta
Diner today…another attempt at having them come to Decatur failed! I had boxes
and packing supplies to take by the Masseys, and I needed to pick up our
Christmas tree from our St. Catherine’s Church. What I didn’t know I would have
time to do was to go to the Christmas Shop that was happening at St. Cat’s!
What a lot of beautiful things were there, mostly hand made, and I couldn’t
resist getting handmade scarves for my friends. The scarves were made by a lady
who was giving all of the proceeds to a school for autistic children…guess
where?...in Decatur! I was eager to help out their cause and to be prepared
with beautiful Christmas scarves. Now, I just hope I can convince myself to
give them away!
Heidi and Brenda loved their scarves, and we always enjoy
our time together. The food was eclectic and delicious. We almost had too many
choices to make. We’ll go back there. As we left, our sweet waiter took our
picture with the Santa Claus statue, and we all promised that the NEXT TIME we
get together, it WILL be in Decatur. I’ll send out some dates tonight, girls.
Thanks for a lovely visit.
On my way home, I sent Peter a message to ask him where I
was supposed to take the toilet seats,(that we were donating to Habitat for
Humanity) and GENE responded (OOPS!), “We usually put our toilet seats on our
toilets!” I called Gene an ugly name, enjoyed a good laugh at my expense, and
found the Habitat Donation center after Peter sent me the address.
Peter left soon after I got home to go back to Marietta to
watch the game with Fred and the boys from church. I walked to town to get some
cash and ingredients to make banana bread. We are going to a potluck tomorrow
for our Slow Food Board meeting, and we will take that and some other tidbits
that Peter has gotten at the Farmers’ Market.
Everyone take care of yourself and enjoy your Christmas
season!
Love,
Colleen
