European Trip: Things we wanted to Google

If you’re like me, you are constantly Googling things. I love learning so Google is like crack to me since almost any piece of information I could want is right at my fingertips.
While Adam and I were on our over two week vacation in Europe this September, we decided not to deal with paying for international calls and data charges so we put my iPhone in airplane mode.

Insider’s Tour of French Cheese Culture

I wrote two blog posts for Whole Food’s Whole Story blog — one on a vineyard tour and tasting, and this one, on our extensive cheese tour in Paris. Click here or the image below to check it out.

Special thanks to Antoine Marsot of Interval Export for planning a wonderful day for us. We are also so grateful to Sebastien, the manager of one of the Paris locations of Beillevaire, for opening the store for us during his lunch break and gracefully letting us taste anything in the store.

Whole Foods also organized an amazing cheese tour in Paris. Check back to tomorrow for that post!

Today is the day that Adam and I leave on our Whole Foods Foodie Fantasy trip to Berlin, Amsterdam, Bruges, and Paris. Thank you again for voting for the video and giving us the opportunity to experience the trip of a lifetime.

Cool Ice Cream, Hot People at the Ice Cream Social!

I don’t know about you, but all I want during this 100 degree summer is ice cream, ice cream, and more ice cream so last week’s ice cream social came at a perfect time for me. As readers of the blog know, I wanted to throw an ice cream party to thank folks for voting for me to win Whole Foods Foodie Fantasy trip to Europe, and because of a generous donation from Graeter’s of 15 gallons of ice cream — enough to feed 500 people (!), I was able …
