Prepping Sampling the brie and clementines that I set out for last night’s dinner with Colin & Leslie. I always like to serve some kind of sweet spread alongside cheeses: last night it was apple butter, because, well, that’s what I had in my refrigerator, but I much prefer boysenberry or raspberry jam.

Colin & Leslie brought over the loveliest cheese, Manouri Mt. Vikos. It’s a Greek sheep’s milk cheese that has such a mild flavor and light, crumbly texture that even cheese-phobes (yes, they exist…hi, Mom!) will adore it.
