I had not tried either of the sweet cheddar cheeses called for in the recipe — Dubliner and Skellig — but they were both so good we will be adding them to our charcuterie platters from now on.

Scrumptious Scones! Chocolate Chip Orange Scones with Orange Glaze Breakfast  Traveling backward through time to 2002 via the Wayback Machine, a group of us participated in the Wine Road Barrel Tasting tour in Sonoma County.  We stayed at the Farmhouse Inn, located about 20 minutes south of Healdsburg.  What a great place!  Unfortunately, it became so wonderful that we’re unable to afford to stay there now.
