I have had this experience with cheeses and wines. Had a wild experience with a wine at an upscale seafood place. Waiter recommended a wine based on what we were ordering. Was really disappointing on tasting. Then he said take a bite of the scallop appetizer. It completely changed!

Hello bluesky! Welcome to your fortnightly Cheese Club! Every second Wednesday we'll be enthusing about cheese. First two rules of Cheese Club: have cheese to sample and post about it (pics please). The third: keep an eye on what people post and chat with them about it! #cheese #CheeseClub 1/2

2/2 This week I have another English cheese, a mature Double Gloucester. At first I was a little disappointed: it tastes okay (it tastes exactly like a good Double Gloucester). Then I realized it was actually delicious; I was just expecting too much from it. Will happily buy again.

I'm afraid I can only report half a baguette with Stilton and red onion. It being from Tesco, I expect scorn contempt! 🧀

And to go with my fresh & warm, Porridge Loaf I’ve opened a new Goat’s Milk Gouda. Nice Gouda with hints of goats cheese & a slight sweetness.

Another limited edition from Lidl- Spanish Matured Goats’ Cheese. An amazing more tasty goats cheese- like hard goats cheese but more robust & flavoursome! Wish I’d bought another!

This is Peanut, a Blue Picardy Spaniel (French sheep dog). They’re born white and the coat turns bluish-black later. He was born with a black peanut shape on his back. He’s just finished a 10 day holiday with me 🐕

Perhaps these, Alan, Welsh poppies? In any case, they're lovely.

Welcome to From Book To Podcast, a weekly diary charting the ups and downs of turning my Victorian whodunnit, Octopus, into a podcast. This week Beric reads from Chapter 9, where Gooseberry arrives home to find a total stranger slurping soup at his table. 😉👍 1/2

2/2 Meanwhile I mark up the transitions (changes of scene) and sort them into categories (like ominous, neutral, comic, etc.) in the forlorn hope of finding a suitably short phrase of Vivaldi to match the mood. 😅

A terrific historical whodunnit mystery series - I rated them all 5🌟
An archaeological dig in the Valley of the Kings, 1885. Lizzie Blaylock and her mentor, Miss Otis, thought they were there to vacation, especially as Lizzie has decided she wants nothing more to do with her powers. Her powers, however, have other things in mind. 1/2

Thank you! Very much appreciated, @buzzbead.bsky.social! ☺️🙏 Quite possibly the only one this year. Arrived yesterday, opened this morning - just before I tried to work out how old I am now. 😅

Hey 👋. Wolf is now, chipped and vaccinated. He was a brave boy. He's enjoying a bit of tennis now. 🐈‍⬛🐾

Redcurrant I planted two years ago has produced a small amount of fruit, 370g, so I have made a tiny amount of redcurrant jelly from it. I've tasted it and it's good.
