  • “Culture: The Word on Cheese” Is Our Friday Link

    Culture: The Word on Cheese is our Friday Link. If you're like me, you scan your twitter feed and always stop when you see certain icons. A tweet from Culture Cheese Magazine always slows me down.

    They not only keep me informed about cheese, but they also have great taste in related topics and stay on top of the food scene. 

    When you explore the site, make sure you bookmark their "Cheese Library." It's a resource you can use anytime you come across a new cheese. And, the search option can help you find cheese by any number of criteria. I love it for locating cheese from a specific country when we're doing a themed meal.

    And, just in case all of this isn't reason enough to enjoy and support this resource, they are a Massachusetts business!

    The time trials used to determine the seed order for the final races were held on Saturday. It was fun to watch the boats set up, start, and the teamwork onboard each dragon boat. We also enjoyed seeing the pre-race workouts and coaching. And, the people who are part of this sport.

    On Saturday, we walked back to Boston with Sheryl Mendlinger a member of the Wellness Warriors team. You'll see a lot of this crew and their pink boat in the photos. They won our hears and our cheers!

    "It’s a cancer team for men & women– all cancers. And, we paddle on the Charles River,” Sheryl told us. “It’s just phenomenal! It’s one thing having to go through cancer, it’s another thing being on a team where you’re out there and you feel physically alive again.”

    Sunday was race day and the day of a culture festival on the banks of the Charles. It's an event that we highly recommend. And, if you're looking for a new obsession in life, we recommend dragon boats. The looks on the faces of almost everyone taking part in this sport make you want to try it. 

    We've put a full album of photos in our gallery over at SmugMug. The folks over there take care of all our photo printing and can put a photo on a full line of items from postcards to mousepads. We do our part and let them do theirs!

    Here are the photos from the Saturday time trials.

    Here are the photos from Sunday, Race day with a few of our favorites from the festival.
