Top Summer Moment #2: Cheese in Vermont!

While teaching at Excel (see yesterday’s post), this summer, we would go on excursion trips each weekend (I got to go to Montreal, Burlington VT and Providence RI). On the way up to Burlington most students and staff rode on a bus, but I got to take a small side trip with 3 vans and go “cheesing” in Vermont! We stopped at 3 local cheese farms and got to sample their goods and wander around. The first farm had some amazing sheep’s cheese and made me realize that I really like sheep’s cheese! I guess I had always thought it was similar to goat’s cheese, but it’s more like a good sharp cheddar. The other 2 farms had traditional cow’s cheeses, but were also super yummy! It was a lot of fun to drive through rural Vermont and see the countryside. The cheese trip was definitely a top highlight of my summer.

These are the farms I got to visit:
Vermont Shepherd
Grafton Village Cheese
Taylor Farm

I'm currently loving ...

America's Best Dance Crew 2 While no one this season can compare to the JabbaWockeeZ, I'm still a big fan of this dance show (always wanted to be a dancer!).

Girl Talk "Feed the Animals" Okay... so the first time I saw this guy live, he was a bit of an a**hole to my friends band who opened for him, but I have to let that slide since I'm totally in love with this mix.

Bats for Lashes Saw this music video at the bike film festival this weekend and loved it. So simple and so creepy...

Flickr photos! lots of photos, especially of cats.

Across the Universe I wasn't sold the first time I watched this, but then I couldn't stop thinking about it and now I'm loving it! Definitely gets you in the mood for some Beatles music.

The Office I know... I'm late to the game, but I can't get enough of The Office right now!

Nortec Collective 5 guys on laptops + 1 trumpet + 1 accoridan... Ranks at the top of my list for best live shows ever, right up there with Radiohead and Flaming Lips.

Knit Book; Basics & Beyond I want to make some hats and I use to know how to knit, but need a refresher. This is a great book that covers a lot of info and has TONS of good pictures (great to learn from).

Bamboo Fabric Store I'm trying to move my Spring '08 collection into the green by using organic and/or sustainable fabrics. I found all my new bamboo jersey fabrics here and I'm totally in love with them!

Project Runway 3 DVD I got this for Christmas and am still too scared to watch it! I've heard that I'm shown on the DVD a lot more than I was on the season... eek!
