Have you seen Andy Cohen on Bravo TV? One of his shows is Watch What Happens: Live, where Andy hosts one or few guests from the popular Bravo reality show. What does this have to do with my blog? Well…patience! One of the segments on the show is Andy’s list of things he has been obsessed with during the week – it can be an outfit, a particular word, or an incident on one of the shows. So I thought – why not share my weekly obsessions with you? Here we go!
While going through a stash of papers, I found a gift certificate to ChefShop that I received last year as a gift from Queen Anne Farmers Market. At the time, I was working at Kaspars, and Chef Kaspar and I did a demonstration at the market, grilling pizzas – vegetable and rhubarb. Fastforward a year later, the certificate was to expire the next day, and I had some shopping to do.
I received great service from ChefShop and was opening a box packed with goodies just a few days later.

The choice of cheese was easy. I wanted something local, thus Oregon Tillamook, and delicious – Extra Sharp Cheddar. Creamy and smooth, the sliced Cheddar made a perfect topping for the La Panzanella Croccantini spread with Yuzu Marmalade.

To round up our fruit and cheese platter, we added slices of fuji apple and some Wheat Thins (to be perfectly honest, I couldn’t be bothered with Wheat Thins and concentrated completely on La Panzanella crackers).

And if you couldn’t tell by now, I’m also obsessed with orange and turquoise colors, and often put the two together. |
Now that I’ve shared my weekly obsession with you, won’t you share yours? Let’s try to keep it to the kitchen theme 🙂
This is one of my favorite snacks too 🙂
what an AWESOME cheese platter!! :~)
