+ BREAD + WINE
This past Friday, I left the office at 2pm (summer hours are the best) and met up with the man—Nick’s his name—for an easy 3.5-mile run in City Park to round out the long-yet-crazily-productive week before our food-centric Date Night at Home.
This time around, we planned a cheese, freshly baked bread, and wine feast. After leaving the bread to rise, getting our workout in, and picking up some cheesy goodness from Sprouts, we headed home to quickly shower before indulging in deliciousness.
INTRODUCING N | V KITCHEN
Nick got this cheese board at World Market recently, and we were quick to put it to good use. We also took the opportunity to play with our logo: N | V Kitchen, for Nick and Vanessa, but also because we’re the envy of basically every food-crazed person out there, duh.
Anyway, we chose goat cheese, English cheddar, and brie. YUM!
While the fresh bread was baking, we partook in cheese, crackers, and other little snacks (red grapes, and bread-&-butter pickles… before enjoying real bread with herb butter made by yours truly).
This Dalmatia Fig Spread went so well atop a cracker with either goat or brie cheese. The picture is terrible, however. I can’t keep my hands still when there’s cheese, bread, and wine present, okay?
There aren’t any pictures of the bread and herb butter because it’s unrealistic to expect me to photograph that which disappears in 0.05 seconds.
RICO SUAVE TURNS 15
We weren’t the only ones feasting Friday night. The Reek enjoyed an organic meal, too, to celebrate his 15th birthday! I’ve had this dummy for half my life.

Mozerella and pepper Jack!
Been reading that cats love cheese and I just got a kitten. Have you tried giving your 15 year old fur kid any cheeses yet?

He does eat cheese! But he prefers thinly sliced turkey, because he’s a prince! 🙂
