Hmmmmmm. I haven't tried manchego... Yet! That sounds delicious! While I LOVE the flavor of
Parmesan, there are times that I'd prefer a little less saltiness. I will definitely be seeking that

Are you starting your dill and basil indoors or are you in a warm enough climate to plant directly
outdoors? I reckon if we'd finally comply to my relatives wishes... we'd already be in Florida and
be planting too. I would love to be down there the end of next month; just in time for the citrus
trees to be in bloom. Man, do I love orange blossoms!!!
