Cheese Please :)

This has nothing to do with "Places to Go" around RVA, but this should definitely be put on your list of "Things to Do in Life!"

I got to experience the most amazing types of cheeses while in France. There's no doubt about it, I am a CHEESE ADDICT!!! There have only been two types of Cheese that I've found I don't like: Roquefort (aka Blue Cheese) and Cottage Cheese. YUCK!

However, here are a couple of cheeses that I've come to loveeee!
Raclette
- one of the "Mountain" traditions. Must try. Here's how:
There's even a Video!!!

One of my personal Favorites:
Compte
- This cheese brings back so many memories. Particularly, Tuesday night traditions in Grenoble with some amazing people.... (I miss Tuesday's)

A friend of mine, Matthieu gave me the best cheese I've ever had in my life one afternoon while we were snowboarding in France:
Beaufort

I will be looking for this in the European Market! I've never loved a cheese so much.


Don't forget to look up some great ways to use some of France's (or other countries) most amazing cheeses in a Fondue! Or if you're interested, I'm always willing to have a Fondue Night and play around with my fondue making skills (I'm pretty good!). ;-)


On a side note: I have been looking everywhere for:
Moutarde a l'ancienne

It's a dressing from France that I can't find in stores here. I think I may have to attempt making it myself.
This is the dressing that first got me to eat lettuce (so it must be amazing!).
Here's the recipe: Sorry- the best one I could find was in French (of course).

Jason Aldean and Eric Church Concert

Well, as most of you know, I'm from the country, and growing up in the country, "I love me some country music!" I mean, honestly, I do. It's what I sing, what I write, what I listen to when I'm over listening to everything else.. other than jazz and classical.

So I'm adding this to my Bucket List (and although it's not in RVA- it's close)!

Country Concerts are known to be some of the best :)

Bucket List your life- Richmond, the beginnings

So I #stumbledupon this website that was all about a bucket list. I decided why not create my own bucket list for Richmond. When my friend Jessica read my post, she thought it would be a great idea to create a Bucket List Blog! So we've teamed up to explore RVA and see what it has to offer. Although I have no idea where I'll be in the next year.. why not explore until I move! Don't worry, I still have my other blog that you should definitely continue checking up on. Follow Me on both, get updates when I post and don't forget, explore all there is to offer! :)
