As aficionado of Artisan cheese I am thinking that the contest might be wanting to give that away.

Well made Double Gloucester is superb.

I am so impressed with both the KFC dinner in cake AND the knitted meals!

I will have to share the zombie proposal article with my coworker who is really into zombies. I bet she wouldn't mind a proposal like that. :-)

Hi Tracy,

I LOVE cheese of any description, with the possible exception of goats cheese, so to have won something so splendid as all that Double Gloucester, would be my idea of heaven.

I also love cake and icing so your article about the birthday cake was right up my street. I have sent the link to my niece, who really enjoys trying something new, but even she has never been quite this adventurous!

I am detecting quite a 'foodie' theme to your post this week, although I wasn't too impressed with the knitted food and meals ... Why? and What's The Point? I enjoy knitting but food!!!!

A post to make me smile and make me feel hungry ... Thanks!

Yvonne

Okay the knitted food is just totally weird. I mean it's very clever, but why?? Who wants a knitted lamb chop?

My mom would totally be down with winning the cheese. We think she was a mouse in a former life. ^-^
