Altar

It's ever changing reflections of items that are near and dear to me. Mostly of cats. The fisherman was something my dad had.. It used to be that he smoked when you put these tiny cigarettes in his mouth.. he could even blow smoke rings.  I have never been a smoker, but I loved to see the little guy light up. Of course the cigs are long gone.  The rock is something I got from a family friend  when I was a girl. You can't see it but there is a flower painted on and then varnished.

  Hooligan
AWARD WINNER! Hooligan is our signature "stinky" cheese that many food lovers consider to be our best variety. Hooligan was awarded the top prize in the Outstanding Dairy category from Gallo Family Vineyards Gold Medal Awards (April 2006), and it was selected by both Saveur magazine and Slow Food USA as one of the top American cheeses. Made in 1.5 lb wheels, Hooligan is a ripe washed-rind cheese with a soft creamy interior and a gorgeous orange rind. Hooligans are bathed twice a week in brine to encourage the growth of pungent, surface-ripening bacteria. The Hooligan melts beautifully for a fabulously stinky toasted cheese (a bit like raclette). Sold whole in small wheels with basket lines on the rind. Aged 2 months
