I don't know how, but for some reason while my children are among the most picky eaters I know (this is payback for something I did I'm sure) they have acquired a taste for expensive cheeses. No american cheese for them. Some tidbits from the Seattle cheese front. First, DeLaurenti market is putting on the first every Seattle Cheese Festival. This sounds like an activity my whole family can enjoy. Down the street of course is Beecher's Handmade Cheese where you can actually watch them make the cheese right in front of you. I haven't yet fallen in love with any of the cheese they make there (though I had this Jamaican variety that was pretty interesting), but the fact that they're local and making it right there in the open means I need to keep trying. And finally, there's a new cheese store right down the street that I need to try on Lake Washington Boulevard in Leschi. I can't remember the name so I'm just going to need to head down there and see what they can do for us.

And for folks who are not from Seattle (and don't love cheese - who doesn't love cheese?) the battered James Beard Foundation is working hard to make sure their awards remain untarnished by the scandal that plagued their organization. (Free registration required.)

And finally, while I  think we may be doing a scientific pizza comparison this sunday, what better source than Boston's own Boston globe for tips on what to make this Sunday while you watch the still humble New England Patriots go for their third Superbowl win in four years. I suppose some superbowl food advice from Philadelphia would only be fair. I'll either be very sad on monday or very happy.
