We finally finished our cheese feast last night! I must admit, after going cheese feast shopping, I am inclined to take a step back and think ‘we just spend THAT on cheese’ – however it does last a long time, I guess that’s the benefit of buying mature cheese, it doesn’t go off. We have bought ‘queso fresco’ – fresh cheese – and we did have one that went bad. This year we bought some blue cheese to go with it, and that was quite tasty, so I think that helped to keep it all going for longer this year.
It was paired with some pretty good chutney (if I say so myself 🙂 ) which I made from our harvest of grapes and extremely tiny apples, and a few scrumped figs. Normally I make an onion and red wine marmalade type of thing, but didn’t need to this year.
So, it’s all back to normal now after the holidays, but Carnival is next on the calendar, so the youngsters will soon be getting excited about that.
The weather finally broke and we had some rain, I think it’s been quite heavy, however I realize that the gutter at the back of the house is broken so water comes down in one spot, which I think makes relatively light rain sound heavy.
