The meeting is “Cheese Bingo”

It’s exciting just to be a member of Queso Diego, but “Cheese Bingo” What!!!! Yes a cheese bingo game with tons of fun and prizes. This bingo game will combine knowledge about cheese making with our favorite activity, EATING CHEESE! There will be prizes for the winners, but that will not be the only way to win.

Only one device is required for each group but everyone who wants to will be able to play their own bingo card. Every card will be unique.

It will be our usual potluck so bring something to share.

Queso Diego June Meeting Announcement

Our monthly Queso Diego meeting will be next Tuesday, 6/21 at AleSmith, 6:30 pm. Our feature this month is Raclette cheese thanks to a generous donation from one of the vendors at the Liquid City event. The club will be serving Raclette cheese with the usual accompaniments (bread, potatoes, gherkin pickles, etc.). Instead of the usual potluck, we recommend bringing salads or something else that would go well with cheese.

Don’t forget to bring a chair and hope to see you all next Tuesday.

Queso Diego June Virtual Meeting Announcement

So, we can’t physically travel right now BUT our taste buds can! Let’s go to BRAZIL, virtually, with Livia as our guide. She will present some history and take us through some tastings of BRAZILIAN CHEESE. This is a presentation not to be missed! Livia will be sending out an email with the types of cheeses and where to get them; I believe most, if not all, will be available at Brazil by the Bay Market (brazilbythebaymarket.com). This place is very unique and with low traffic volume easy to get to for obtaining the cheese BECAUSE presentations are always better with CHEESE.

Zoom meeting details were sent out to the club email list.

See you next Tuesday,
Marci
