A Recovering Baptist in South Carolina

This week has been a good week with no major A/V surprises and/or problems.  I was the cheese specialist all week at work this week.  It was different to do cheese all week long, but it was good and very relaxing.  Wednesday was my birthday and I had a wonderful day.  My co-workers found out that it was my birthday and so they got a cupcake and a candle and sang happy birthday to me.  I recently got a new phone which allows me to get my email on my phone as well as txt messages.  As both my email account and my phone are connected to my facebook account I my phone was buzzing all day long as nearly everybody wished me a happy birthday. My sister baked me a cake and my mom sent me maypo for my birthday, both of which I enjoyed.  I thought that would be it, except for maybe late birthday card in the mail.  Thursday afternoon my sister and I went down to Fall Park to take some pictures.  While we were down there we ran into some Canadian geese and there was also a guy riding his kayak dow

Today at work I became the "Sampling Specialist".  I was scheduled to work as the "Cheese Specialist" today which means I'm suppose to sample cheese along with cutting, wrapping and labeling cheese. When I arrived at work I learned that I was also going to spend a couple hours sampling beef tenderloin.  First I'll tell you about the cheese I was sampling.  I paired "Provolone Piccante" (a aged sharp provolone) with banana and balsamic glaze on a wheat thin cracker.  This combination is very good as an appetizer or a healthy snack.  I also paired "Premoo Gouda" with "Dark Chocolate Dreams" and a blueberry on a wheat thin cracker.  Premoo Gouda is a mild cheese with a very nice flavor while Dark Chocolate Dreams is a peanut butter/chocolate mixture. This sample can be made into a sweet snack/dessert.  After I had made the cheese samples I went over to the meat department and sampled Filet Mignon, (premium choice beef tenderloin).
