What A Day I Had!!!
Started at -
Chopping Block - http://www.choppingblockmodesto.com/butcher-shop.html
Friendly shop with all kinds of foods, sausages, deli counter full of fun and interesting dishes/salads. All types of meat.
I picked up Sheboygan Brats, Buffalo Wing Brats, Gnocchi, prosciutto & Mozz.
The Sheboygan brats are similar to a German sausage. The buffalo Wing brats, I'm thinking would make a great pizza.
On to Fiscalini Farmstead Cheese -
http://fiscalinicheese.com/ourcheeses.php
Right in the middle of a dairy farm, a little shack where you can pick up any of their cheeses.
I bought - Smoked Mozz, Purple Moon (Cab soaked cheddar), and Smoked Cheddar
Ideas???? (their website has lots of ideas for me, too )
Then ended up back at the Classic Wine Vinegar Co. http://classicwinevinegar.com/index.html
We were here last trip also – this time I picked up, hopefully, a dinner course for New Years – a pasta, jar of pesto and an Italian Tuna (I'm thinking the pasta tossed with the pesto and sprinkled with the Italian tuna for one of our dinner courses.................
Also, picked Walnut Champagne (a store give away), Ginger Pear Rice (will be good for stir-fry), Vanilla Bean Balsamic & a Champagne.
and, then because we were so full from lunch at Bistro 234, we drove back to Patterson and stopped at Chef Ceron’s Smoked BBQ place across the street from his other restaurant, Domasco’s where we had a late lunch/early dinner Sunday. Ordered take out to play with later – BBQ pulled pork, smoked ribs, mac & cheese. Had a glass of Cupcake Cab, which was a very nice wine.
Now, to put all these goodies to good use!!!

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
