My November cheese classes
While I'm mainly confining myself to my writing cave (bedroom) for the next couple months until I finish my manuscript that's due in January, I am emerging occasionally to eat, take hot showers, walk around the block, and teach a cheese class or two.
Here are two classes that I'm teaching at the Cheese School of San Francisco later this month. Come to eat crazy amounts of cheese, drink a little southern booze, and to say hello. I miss people.
