Dear Santa, Cheese Please

Dear Santa,
I have always loved cheese. The first dish I ever made was macaroni and cheese. By the time I was 12, I was well on my way to becoming a mac & cheese connoisseur. My repertoire consisted of mostly powdered cheese and velveeta for many years. As an adult I became familiar with Brie, [...]

Why Would Anyone Want to Raise Alpacas?

On a recent search through my favorite new medium, Twitter, I found that several people were asking this question. They had seen the commercials and couldn’t understand why this would be an appealing choice for anyone.

Giveaway: Day 7 – Toothamatic

Did you know that alpacas’ teeth grow? Eating wears them down but sometimes the teeth grow too long on our soft pastures (rather than the rocky terrain of the Andes in South America). Occasionally we need to trim their teeth. Sounds scary, right?
That’s where the Toothamatic comes in. It’s a tooth trimmer. One that saves [...]
