Fun and Yummy Website Diversions

Maybe it's not YouTube but these food sites are fun. I'll take Cheesemakers and Farmers over lipsynchers and goofballs.

A procrastinator par excellence, I am. I find myself today with some pressing work and deadlines looming. So of course, it's time to check my favorite food blogs, right?

FIrst I stopped by Cheese by Hand. This is a great site that captures the journey of two ex-desk jockeys with a love for artisanal cheese. Michael and Sasha have traveled the US meeting small cheesemakers and learning their stories. It's a really fun site, with loads of great info. They even have the modern equivalent of flipbooks on today's post. The mozzarella ladies look like they're having too much fun.

Next, I checked out Cooking up a Story. Michael and Sasha were filmed at the Portland Farmer's Market telling their story and meeting a couple of cheesemakers there. Herbes de Provence cheese, anyone?

Okay, I'm this close to convincing myself it's time to bake that apple pie, but sadly, I think the work will win out...maybe a tiny piece of cheese first. That 8 year Ontario Cheddar from the St. Lawrence Market maybe? Or a bit of that Truffled Borcetta? Oh that cheddar will be so nice with the pie...
