Nothing besides crazed children running around department stores hopped up on seven times thier daily sugar limit makes me feel the spirit of the holidays more than cheese balls. So it is with great pleasure that I am sharing with you today my first article on NPR's The Kitchen Window, devoted entirely to this spherical ball of wonder. Comments at the end of the NPR piece are very, very welcome!

And here is a link to a holiday wine pairing article I recently wrote for Edible East Bay too, just in case you haven't picked out your juice for the big nights ahead.

Happy Holidays!
