The other day I got some montasio cheese from the Italian market in Arlington. It is a very nice cow’s milk cheese from northern Italy.
Wood turning demonstration
On Sunday AT and I went to the Montpelier Mansion in Laurel. There was a woodturning demonstration there, and Jeff Bridges made AT a wooden goblet. It was interesting.
It started with a stick.
Then he started cutting it.
More cutting.
And more cutting.
They were from Chesapeake Woodturners.
And finally sanding.
And in minutes there was a goblet!
