Moooilicious

Hello! Welcome to this weeks Cheesy Newsie!
I have a story to share with you!

Last Friday I was driving Le Van du Fromage down state route six and T King was blaring up top and I was excited for the wonderful weather and all the wonderful farmers markets ahead. I had a huge grin on my face and was feeling pretty darn good until things got a little quiet.
For those of you that have not been around T-King you need to know that he has a 'large and in charge attitude' which mostly comes from his very important job of keeping all the product I make VERY cold! The attitude is expressed by the noise that bellows from his exhaust.
I pulled into the next gas station and prayed to GD that the reset button would get him up and running again. Oh dear oh dear please work please work please work please work!
Crap -what am I going to do if it doesn't turn on? Please work please work please work.....

I pull into the nearest gas station which was all empty except for one huge man leaning against his Thermo King repair truck. HHHmmmm.
At first glance I thought I was having a hallucination, but then I realized that the man was too big to be a hallucination. I took a flying leap out of the truck and ran over to where he was.
"Are you a thermo king repair technician?" and in a very deep voice he said "Yes ma'am - I was checking out your unit as you drove in"
"Well come take a closer look I seem to have a malfunction" the man was so tall he hit the reset button from standing on the ground! (I have to use the ladder). Since young ladies driving refrigerated box vans down route 6 isn't all that common of an occurrence he seemed really interested in where I lived and what I did with such a truck. With T-King once again blaring away (thanks to some tinkering around) I discovered that this huge man was actually my neighbor and that his most favorite thing to eat is cheese :)

So I think what happened was this. When I was born in Dublin, Ireland I was given a very lucky charm :)

Big weekend ahead! Although you wouldn't know it by the weather Summer is in full swing for the ladies of Jacobs Creamery! 11 markets a week and the New Seasons stores are keeping me in my rubber boots! My polka dotted rubber boots of course! Next week you will find Jacobs Creamery salted butter and Ricotta in the cheese cases of New Seasons :)

The farmers markets are a wonderful spot to do your shopping for the weekends festivities.
Whether you are planning a BIG slip n slide party or a BBQ you will certainly find ingredients to impress at your local market.
My cream cheese mixed with some of the Smokery smoked fish works wonders for a spread for crackers. I cannot think of a better topping than my mozzarella for a salad other than .... well pudding and strawberries!

I wish all your firecrackers go off with a flash and that your neighbors don't do a naked dash!

Until next time. Eat more dairy and remember that real smiles come from cheese.

Adieu Adieu!
So long farewell

Yours always-making you wonderful cheesy creations!
Cheese Czarina!
