On the dawn of a new presidency, one that advocates for hope and change, it is inspiring to see someone doing just that.  One of our good neighbors, a man named Jos brought by some of his latest creations, fresh from his kitchen on the South Side of Williamsburg.  Now, if Barack Obama could get everyone to make cheese at home, particularly cheese this good, we would be doing pretty well.  This cheese was made in the style of a St. Marcellin, a French cow’s milk disc of goo.  The only difference was that this cheese was raw, illegal and from only a couple of hours upstate.  Thank’s Jos, it tasted good.

A few weeks ago Amy and I were at our favorite beer bar in the neighborhood, Spuyten Duyvil, and we met a real beer-maven.  We began discussing beers and then veered in the direction of cheese.  As it turns out she is as crazy about beer as we are about cheese (well and beer).  On her website, beerforchicks.com she voted us best place to find accompaniments for your beer and we wanted to say thanks.  It’s pretty cool, Williamsburg is well represented on her Best Of list.  We even have similar favorite picks for best beer of the year, hers a Thierez mine the Fantome Saison.
