On Cheese: After a recent exchange with a friend who is a chef, I went back to checking the differences between BRIE and CAMEMBERT . To put it briefly they come from different regions, camembert from Normandy and Brie from Ile de France, think of it as the difference between Burgundy and Rhone wines. One of my favorite Web Sites which I used for this piece is French Cheese UK as besides the cheese description, they give you the best wine and bread pairing.

If you are thinking of visiting Reims and the Champagne Region in the coming months, a book worth reading is 'Destination Champagne'' by Philippe Boucheron .
See for yourself who the most welcoming growers are. Get a leg up on planning your trip.

I noticed recently visitors to this BLOG from Japan, Spain, Italy, Belgium, the UK ,Canada and France.

Thank you for paying us a visit.

Feel free to let us know what attracted you in the first place.

We just started a new BLOG page Blogging for Business whose goal is to share ideas and discuss issues facing Entrepreneurs.

We will use it as well as a space to explore topics covered before,during and after our monthly networking meetings in Montclair, New Jersey.

Here is the contest's idea:

"The winning child who must be aged between 8 and 16 will win a chance to review the new Harry Potter book for the Financial times and be able to question her at a news conference" read more in Financial Times Week End

A fellow New Jersey entrepreneur, Helen Bergstein, is the soul of DIGSVILLE , a home and hospitality exchange service.
Their tag line is: "Where smart folks spend a little to travel a lot more". The idea is that you swap your residence for someone else's home, therefore reducing the cost of your stay a great deal.
You can choose people whose profile is compatible with yours in areas such as neatness, space and so forth.
Their website is very user friendly. Type the name of the country where you plan on going and choices available come up.
In order to use the service there is a membership fee.
Take a look.
