The cheeses from Chapel Hill Creamery are worth the trip to the Farmer's Market. I tried their award-winning Calavander at Reliable Cheese Co., and it's phenomenal. Used it in several recipes, including my Carolina Blue Chicken posted on my blog (http://carolinasaucecompany.blogspot.com/2011/08/carolina-blue-chicken.html)
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence! I am the co-author of a book that is being released this week, and since it is National Cheese Month I invite you to have a taste of this newly released book!
ReplyDeleteThe Swiss Cheese Theory of Life: How To Get Through Life's Holes Without Getting Stuck in Them! is a book about how to thrive and not just survive the holes in your life, and how to develop character and wisdom from having gone through them. The Swiss Cheese Theory of Life is based on the idea that life has holes and it is how you get through them that counts! After all, life is not smooth and predictable like cream cheese or American, and it is overcoming the challenges and the "holes" in our lives that give us depth of character. My co-author and I are both psychotherapists and wellness speakers, and have 65 years combined experience. We have crystallized the secrets to a happier and more fulfilling life no matter what comes your way!
The book is published by mental health publisher Premier Publishing and Media.
Please visit The Swiss Cheese Theory of Life Website, take The Swiss Cheese Challenge, and download for free the first two chapters, or get a special pre-release 10 % discount.
Go ahead, have a taste!
