A Wedding Cheese

4 June, 2009

in in Aotearoa, the social round, we are family

Originally published at The White Mist.

Whitestone Windsor BlueOne matter to which all those involved in the wedding are amenable has been the creation of a wedding cheese, in lieu of a wedding cake.  It was in pursuit of this that we travelled to Whitestone Cheeses of Oamaru earlier this week.  Bob, the managing director, brought out a variety of cheese rounds for us to play with and we tried stacking different kinds and sizes of cheese on top of each other to create our lactic vision.  This was a level of fun normally associated with childhood.  A wholesale price list meant the costing of the enterprise was reasonable too.

in in Aotearoa, the social round, we are family

As mentioned in the marvellously leviathan comment thread to the previous entry, the señor and I will shortly be taking a long weekend in Otago, Land of Cheese, sticking to the coast road by and large and hoping to return tired but encurded.

In my absence, I invite you all to discuss in the comments to this entry a topic raised by merc.  It is of the song you heard, after which you were not the same person anymore.  I want to know where, when, by whom and why, and promise to chip in my own anecdote when I return.

(The entry title is a reflection of my slightly addled mental state: I am trying to write a Villanelle but find myself thinking largely of camembert.)
