<p>I had the opportunity tonight to fill in behind the cheese counter. Thank you to whomever called out sick. Granted another fromager came in mid shift but I still got to play around with/taste the cheeses. AND I got to cut the Jamón ibérico leg. AWESOME. Some cheese highlights include <a href="http://www.artisanalcheese.com/prodinfo.asp?number=10658">Valdeón</a>, <a href="http://www.artisanalcheese.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PC-10595">Epoisses de Bourgogne</a> and <a href="http://www.artisanalcheese.com/prodinfo.asp?number=10274">Ibores</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.artisanalcheese.com/prodinfo.asp?number=10658"><img class="aligncenter" title="Valdeon Cheese" src="http://www.artisanalcheese.com/images/10658.jpg" alt="" width="391" height="400" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Valdeón</strong> is a rich and creamy, intensely-flavored cow and goat&#8217;s milk blue cheese. The Valdeón wheels are wrapped in Sycamore leaves which contribute to their distinctive appearance and complex flavor.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.artisanalcheese.com/prodinfo.asp?number=10274"><img class="aligncenter" title="Ibores Cheese" src="http://www.artisanalcheese.com/images/10274.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="387" /></a><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Ibores</strong> is a zesty, warm-flavored goat&#8217;s milk cheese from the rugged province of Extremadura in Spain. It is firm, with a pleasant, lingering tangy finish. Rubbed with paprika and olive oil during the two month aging process, the wheels are visually striking and offer a great alternative to fresh goat cheeses.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.artisanalcheese.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PC-10595"><img class="aligncenter" title="Epoisses Cheese" src="http://www.artisanalcheese.com/images/pc-10595.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="370" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Epoisses</strong> is a classic cow&#8217;s milk cheese that originates from Burgundy and has been made in the small town of Epoisses since the late 1700s. In order to develop the characteristic dark orange rind, Epoisses is washed with brine for several weeks then finished with wine or brandy.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I had the chance to pick up some fabulous blue cheeses yesterday from Taste Artisan Cheese &#38; Gourmet Shop in Hillcrest &#8212; what a treat! George Palmer of Taste helped me select these two cheeses to end a very special meal (C&#8217;s birthday dinner).</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.cashelblue.com/">Cashel Blue</a> is a beautiful tangy, creamy cheese from Ireland and is the creation of a wife-and-husband team (Jane and Louis Grubb). It&#8217;s a semi-soft, cow&#8217;s milk cheese with an assertive taste.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.gourmet-food.com/spanish-cheese/valdeon-cheese-102600.aspx">Valdeon Cheese</a> we tried (the one in the back of the plate) hails from Spain. It has a stronger flavor than the creamy Cashel and is saltier than a Stilton. This cheese is made from cow&#8217;s and goat&#8217;s milks and made a lovely pairing with an elegant, earthy Pinot Noir. The cheese is often wrapped in sycamore or maple leaves when aged.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#000000;">Sunday night at the Bazaar with Phil from &#8220;My Life As A Foodie&#8221;, his wife Katrina, and fellow food-lovers Dean and Stephanie. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">When we were seated at the &#8220;Chefs Table&#8221; in the Rojo Room, Peter and I made sure that he and I were the two diners facing AWAY from the open kitchen. We had four eager &#8220;Bazaar Virgins&#8221; with us and for them to get the most of the experience, they faced the chefs, giving them first-class seats to the &#8220;show&#8221;!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">We shared many of what I now call &#8220;essential&#8221; tapas from both the Blanca and Rojo menus. These are dishes we get every visit and include: </span><span style="color:#000000;">Jamón Ibérico, </span><span style="color:#000000;">Chicken and Béchamel Fritters, <span style="color:#000000;">Sea Urchin with Avocado in a Steamed Mini Bun </span><span style="color:#000000;">and </span><span style="color:#000000;">Philly Cheesesteak </span><span style="color:#000000;">Air Bread (photo links below).</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">This was my eighth dinner at Bazaar. Had I tried everything on both the Rojo and Blanco menus? Well no, to be honest there were still a few vegetable dishes I&#8217;d been avoiding. It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t like veggies, it&#8217;s just that when presented with a choice between plump butifarra (sausage) or brussel sprouts&#8230; I&#8217;m going to always insist on the meats (or seafood or foie gras) first.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Our evening was made even more delightful when Chef Voltaggio presented a NEW, elegant salmon dish that he wanted us to try. The &#8220;Smoked&#8221; Salmon was cooked sous vide (French for &#8220;under vacuum&#8221;), served with cucumber &#8220;noodles&#8221; and set on top of a small potato blintz. This was all presented under a glass dome and served on a piece of black slate. Before leaving the kitchen, the dome was lifted slightly and Chef Voltaggio &#8220;smoked&#8221; the salmon with a culinary *smoking gun. When the servers brought the salmon to the table, puffs of smoke gently wafted from under the glass as the domes were removed. It was cool (and tasted heavenly).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">General Manager, William Douillet, seemed to always &#8220;magically&#8221; appear when there was the slightest inquiry.  Thoughtful and courteous, he always makes each visit a &#8220;special&#8221; occasion. Our four friends, no longer &#8220;Bazaar Virgins&#8221;, still haven&#8217;t stopped talking about the experience.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#000000;">Tapas we tried on this visit:</span></strong></p>
<p><a title="Ajo Blanco, MyLastBite.com by MyLastBite, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mylastbite/3430715891/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3537/3430715891_609fbdde57.jpg" alt="Ajo Blanco, MyLastBite.com" width="500" height="375" /></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
</span> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Ajo Blanco</span></strong><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="color:#000000;">: White Gazpacho, Tomatoes, Grapes, Raisins, topped with Tomato Granita $5.<span style="color:#ff6600;"> <span style="color:#b74900;">I loved this savory dish (sort of like a panna cotta), especially the texture of the granita on top.</span></span></span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><a title="Cauliflower &#34;Couscous&#34;, MyLastBite.com by MyLastBite, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mylastbite/3431530336/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3431530336_5e47fc3c8e.jpg" alt="Cauliflower &#34;Couscous&#34;, MyLastBite.com" width="500" height="375" /></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
Sautéed Cauliflower &#8220;Couscous&#8221;</span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="color:#000000;">: Cauliflower puree, harissa, pomegranate $8. <span style="color:#b74900;">The tiny, crunchy bits of cauliflower were terrific mixed with the pomegranate.</span></span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
</span> </strong></p>
<p><a title="Brussel Sprout Leaves, MyLastBite.com by MyLastBite, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mylastbite/3431530046/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3582/3431530046_76a9f8723b.jpg" alt="Brussel Sprout Leaves, MyLastBite.com" width="500" height="375" /></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
</span> <strong><span style="color:#000000;"> Brussel Sprout Leaves </span></strong><span style="color:#000000;">with lemon purée, apricots, grapes and lemon &#8220;air&#8221; $8.<span style="color:#ff6600;"> <span style="color:#b74900;">I </span><strong><span style="color:#b74900;">hated</span></strong><span style="color:#b74900;"> brussel sprouts as a kid, so the fact that I actually liked this was a nice surprise.</span></span></span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
</span> </span></p>
<p><a title="Buñuelos, MyLastBite.com by MyLastBite, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mylastbite/3431529566/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3660/3431529566_6101d8c650.jpg" alt="Buñuelos, MyLastBite.com" width="500" height="375" /></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
</span> <strong><span style="color:#000000;"> Buñuelos </span></strong><span style="color:#000000;">(Codfish Fritters) with Honey Aoli $8. <span style="color:#b74900;">I liked that I could really taste the fish in these fried balls. Usually with deep-fried fish, all I taste is the &#8220;fried&#8221; part.</span></span></p>
<p><a title="Quesos, MyLastBite.com by MyLastBite, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mylastbite/3430715465/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3590/3430715465_ab091634af.jpg" alt="Quesos, MyLastBite.com" width="500" height="375" /></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><br />

Served with </span><strong><span style="color:#000000;">Picos </span></strong><span style="color:#000000;">(Spanish crispy bread) and </span><strong><span style="color:#000000;">Quince jam</span></strong><span style="color:#000000;">. 3 Quesos $15</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Os acordareis del concurso del año pasado con la tapa típica de León, por si alguien no la conoció pinchar en este link <span style="color:#ff0000;"><a href="http://lapiconera.wordpress.com/2008/01/13/tapa-de-la-casa/" target="_blank">TAPA</a>.</span> La de este año es parecida:</p>
<p><a href="http://lapiconera.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/cecina1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-145" title="cecina1" src="http://lapiconera.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/cecina1.jpg?w=450" alt="" width="450" height="330" /></a></p>
<p>Son finas lonchas de <span style="color:#ff9900;">Cecina con una suave crema de Queso de Valdeón</span>, (para los amantes del queso azul y de la cecina), si lo tomas con un vino de la tierra será más sabroso.</p>
<p>El concurso empieza el día 8 de octubre y acaba el 20 del mismo mes,habrá dos tipologías de tapas, la de &#8220;chateo&#8221; (que costará 2 euros como máximo  y se servirá vino de la Provincia, corto de cerveza, mosto o agua) y la de &#8220;aperitivo&#8221; (que se servira con la consumición que se tomé y será gratuita).</p>
<p>Este año participamos 45 establecimientos que cuando disponga del mapa-ruta os lo enseñaré.</p>
<p>Que disfruteis de nuestra tapa.</p>
<p><a href="http://lapiconera.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/cecina2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-146" title="cecina2" src="http://lapiconera.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/cecina2.jpg?w=450" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>Espero que os guste, nos vemos en La Piconera.</p>

Mateos</font></i></p>
<p style="text-indent:35.45pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"><font color="#993300">Los equipos directivos de los centros públicos y los sindicatos docentes están desesperados. La Consejería de Educación se hace la foto, habla de calidad y de excelencia, pretende rebajar el fracaso escolar; pero falla en lo principal y en lo más básico: no dota del profesorado necesario a los centros educativos públicos. Ante tal falta, la calidad que pretende el consejero de Educación se resiente y se va por las <i>&#8216;cañerías&#8217;</i> de la dejadez y del desconcierto, quedándose en meras intenciones. Se ahorran sueldos e IRPF. Están demostrando que son los reyes de la desidia y el caos organizativo. Nunca tan pocos hicieron tanto daño. Ahora el profesorado echa la vista atrás y se acuerda de <b>Francisco Javier Álvarez Guisasola</b> y de su eficacia al frente de la Consejería.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-indent:35.45pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>
<p style="text-indent:35.45pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"><font color="#993300">Los centros públicos han comenzado a funcionar y no se han cubierto las bajas ni las necesidades más imprescindibles. No llegan los sustitutos y los equipos directivos no saben a qué atenerse. Hay Jefes de Estudios con 28 horas lectivas y algunas Direcciones Provinciales se lavan las manos como Pilatos, por miedo a pedir profesorado a la Consejería que preside Juanjo Mateos. La Consejería ha dado orden de que los profesores se incorporen cuando se inicien las clases. ¿Y las planificaciones,<span>  </span>programaciones y temporalizaciones? ¿Y en los centros donde la matrícula la hacen los propios profesores durante el mes de septiembre? Tampoco responden los sindicatos ni se movilizan. Para ellos lo importante son las liberaciones. Pasan del profesorado, al igual que la Consejería. Pero lo más llamativo es que aún no ha cesado la directora general de Recursos Humanos, de quien hace tiempo que dejó de fiarse el profesorado. Gran parte de los docentes de Castilla y León ni siquiera tiene en su poder el nuevo nombramiento. Más dejadez y más desidia es difícil de conseguir, pero Juan Vicente Herrera sigue sin enterarse, dada su soledad y su demostrado apoltronamiento tras tantos años de Gobierno. Y eso es lo peor que puede suceder en cualquier Consejería y para cualquier administrado. Así las cosas: ¡Váyase, señor Herrera, váyase!</font></span></p>
<p style="text-indent:35.45pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>
<p style="text-indent:35.45pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"><font color="#993300">Ahora empezarán en la Junta de Castilla y León a criticar al <b>MEC</b> por el sucedáneo de bachillerato, sin pararse a pensar que tienen muchos fallos en su propia casa y no precisan acudir a casa ajena para ver los errores y criticar las barbaridades cometidas. ¡De pena y sin gloria!</font></span></p>
<p style="text-indent:35.45pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>
<p style="text-indent:35.45pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"><font color="#993300">Mal empieza el curso en Castilla y León. Y, de seguir así, seguramente terminará peor. Mientras tanto, Juan Vicente Herrera, escondido durante todo el verano, sigue hablando de lo que desconoce ante los medios de comunicación, con lo que se está granjeando la indiferencia de la ciudadanía castellana y leonesa, además de haber demostrado una cobardía inusual en temas puntuales y preocupantes en la comunidad, como los topillos, la formación de equipos, la sanidad, la vivienda, la renovación de equipos en educación, el retraso de la formación profesional, las <b>VPO</b><b> </b>y las infraestructuras. </font></span></p>
<p style="text-indent:35.45pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>
<p style="text-indent:35.45pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"><font color="#993300">El presidente Herrera ha permanecido escondido mientras sus consejeros han estado de vacaciones y solo ha dado la cara cuando ha encontrado ocasión de esconderse tras ellos, como una forma de regatear críticas y escurrir el bulto. La mejor ocasión para hacerse la foto ha sido con motivo de la Feria Agropecuaria de Salamanca y la Feria de Muestras de Valladolid. Claro, en ambos casos hay abundancia de canapés, como decía <b>Umbral.</b> Y, para rematar, ha acabado inaugurando el inicio del curso en Zamora, al calorcillo de <b>Rosa Valdeón Santiago</b>, la ex consejera exiliada y de cuyo acto se arrepentirá Herrera eternamente. Rosa Valdeón, actual alcaldesa de Zamora, recibió el exilio por las envidias de dos de sus ex compañeras del Gabinete Herrera que, dicho sea de paso, pusieron a Juan Vicente entre la espada y la pared. Hoy el presidente se tira de una oreja y no llega a la otra. Rosa Valdeón era el perfil de consejera que cualquier presidente querría tener en su equipo, pero la debilidad y la soledad del presidente reaccionaron como nunca hubiera reaccionado un presidente dominador de las riendas del partido. Así cubre el pelo a Castilla y a León.</font></span></p>
