\"Valentine's
Valentine's Day Cheese Tray<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The rest of the dinner created by WWT had a carrot theme (Chicken and Carrot Fricassee, Carrot Cranberry Salad, Bacony Carrots and Green Beans, Pickled Carrots, Carrot Pudding), but the cheese course was cheesy with side carrots. All from Whole Foods:<\/p>\n

Cupid’s Choice Camembert<\/strong><\/em>, Old Chatham Sheepherding Company<\/a>, Old Chatham New York. Tasty, and we couldn’t resist the heart-shape of this one. Pasteurized cow’s and sheep’s milk. Our sparkling our New Mexico Gruet<\/a> was a good match for this.<\/p>\n

Cypress Grove Lamb Chopper<\/strong><\/em>, Cypress Grove<\/a> Chevre, California. We agreed: “This sheep milk cheese is buttery in color and flavor with a long, complex finish.”<\/p>\n

Blue Castello.<\/strong><\/em> Denmark. “This brie-like blue cheese from Denmark is made by Tholstrup<\/a>, the same company that makes Saga Blue at its factory in the United States. Blue Castello is richer than Saga Blue and is made only in Denmark. Castello is a distant derivative of Italian Gorgonzola but has a higher fat content and a milder flavor. It is a perfect blue for those who like a little blue flavor without being blown away.”<\/p>\n

The complete menu<\/a> included Chicken & Carrot Fricasse, Carrot Cranberry salad, and of course, the annual carrot pudding.<\/p>\n
