Cheese Heals- (It certainly does) Bleu de Bourgogne
Cheese is a lot like people. Some are okay, some you like, and others you love. Bleu de Bourgogne may be my new best friend and found at no other than Wegmans! (Medium) Bleu de Bourgogne This cheese should be removed from refrigeration and plated for about 45 minutes...
Cheese Heals- Say Hello to Versatile Manchego Cheese
It is a snowy March day, and the winds are beginning to stir these 10 inches of fresh yet heavy snow. I have worked all day for my clients, and now I thought I would knock off and review one of my favorite charcuterie board cheeses, Manchego (pronounced man-chey-go)....
Cheese Heals- Come Ash You Are
I was inspired to taste Wegman’s Come Ash You Are cheese on this dismal, cold Sunday afternoon. As you know, I believe that Cheese Heals and I need a little saving today. So, I poured myself a glass of Zac Brown’s Uncaged red blend and began the tasting. Come Ash You...
Travels with Chip- you guessed it- Wegman’s Cheese Department
Today would have been our 33rd wedding anniversary. I don’t think this day will ever come when my chest doesn’t hurt and my hands don’t shake. I took the day off because concentration is out of the question, and it is a disservice to my clients. So, what could I do to...
Cheese Heals? This one sure does- Nettle Meadow.
Nettle Meadow’s Kunik Triple Cream is fantastic. It is early on Sunday morning, Memorial Day Weekend. I have already walked 2.5 miles and had breakfast with Tillie. “Tillie’s House,” as we call it, has a beautiful front porch with rocking chairs and a breeze. What...
Blog- Beer vs. Cheese- What does heal the soul?
(I wrote this on Saturday, May 14th, but I just could not post it till today) Today is the 36th anniversary of our first date. Our first date is the calendar date I celebrate most because without that first date, there would be no wedding date, no anniversary, or the...
Cheese Heals- Wegmans Sweet 16 and Professor Brie Cave Cheese
Amelia and Nick, aka Skates, met me at Wegmans in Dewitt, NY, before meeting up with Jack and his friends at Twin Trees Too in Solvay, NY. Chip and I loved to go to Wegmans, and we basked in the selection of cheeses. We would talk about what we would make with them or...
Cheese Heals Like you read about- Murray’s Pecorino Tartufello
Pecorino Tartufello is an effort to right my now upside-down universe, I needed to return to cheese. Chip and I made phenomenal charcuterie boards on the weekends, and while I am not ready for a charcuterie for one, this cheese was a great choice! It is not the same...
Cheese Heals- Say hello to Taleggio
Does cheese really heal? I am certainly betting on Taleggio to help restore me from my cheese-less existence. Yes, I have been without a good cheese for a few months. Chip and I loved cheese, and he especially loved very STINKY cheeses. Say hello to Taleggio. What...
About Me
Hello and welcome.
I am often asked, “What is Pasta on the Floor?”
Pasta on the Floor is different for everyone. It is a recipe that tells a story and inspires them to try something new. For others, stories of family, joy, loss, and hope engage with them. This brings me a great deal of happiness. I do not take myself too seriously, so be forewarned the subject matter is open and truthful. In many ways, Pasta is a tale of life, and I think you will find familiarity and commonality as you scroll through these pages.
