The result of Play-Doh and an eight-hour conference.
First mankind invented the wheel, then invented the cocktail, and, by necessity, invented the lime-wheel.
Big wheel of Brie, over a hot flame, surrounded by spicy, fruit salsa. Serve this with tortilla chips and artisanal baguette for a fantastic crowd-pleaser.
A big board of baguette about to be layered with charcuterie, cheese, and dip.
Half Aussie, half Lab. I'm pretty sure he was rolled in oil at birth (or so he appears to have been). A sophisticated guy who wears plaid, sneaks sausages from the fridge, loves running around, and eating yard-toast. The best companion a person could ask for.
