Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

The fact I can wander to the market in the morning and pick up this fresh Québec sheep’s #cheese, Cabanon, fresh-picked rocket and raspberries is one of the many reasons Montreal living is tough to beat

Do you like cheese? I like cheese. Do you like a good story? I like a good story and this is sure to be one.

I had the pleasure of listening to Mike on CBC morning radio in MTL for years and then the joy in watching him discover this next passion and this will be such a delight to read.

The Cheese Cure is out 28th August! My 1st book. It’s about all things cheese, how it changed my life, and a tale of the power of taking a sabbatical. Inspiration, humour, cheesy indulgence, geeky knowledge. You can order a copy now – also e-book and audiobook (read by me!) – from the link in my bio

Currently a chunk of Comté, a wedge from a beautiful artisan goat’s milk cheese from the Beaujolais with an ash rind and some heavenly, creamy break-down just beneath, a bit of Parmigiano Reggiano, and full disclosure: a small tub of Waitrose Organic « soft cheese » for eating with smoked salmon.

There are no words to express quite how bad it is, but I feel a bit better reading yours. Thanks.

I mean it was Jar Jar Binks level. Leprechauns around the world are weeping.

Cringe-making. Like a pisstake or the Irish. I think the actor is South African. It was like bad drag.
