"Cheese" Party

A few weeks ago, I went to a "cheese party." You may ask, "Now miss Jensen, what in the world is a cheese party?" Well, it happens to be one of the coolest theme parties I have been to in a while. My friend Clay is the master mind behind the operation. Every person who came was asked to bring a different type of cheese along with a garnish to accompany it. (As you can see from the photo, I took grapes and crackers). To assure there were not a ton of duplicate cheeses, a google doc was created so people could sign up in advance, stating the type of cheese they were going to bring. We also had to bring a brief history behind the cheese, you know... Where does the cheese originate etc.

I thought the idea was brilliant and was thrilled to attend. I took a new type of cheese I had never purchased before. It was called Dubliner. The cheese originated in Ireland, named after Dublin, even though the cheese isn't actually produced in Dublin. I tasted many random cheeses that were new to me at the party, garnished with grape juice, fruit, fish, crackers and bread among other things, but my favorite ended up being Dubliner. I think I will definitely buy it again! For those interested in trying it, it can be purchased at Costco!

No Apology Book Tour

Mitt Romney just came out with a new book entitled: No Apology: The cause for American Greatness. Salt Lake City was one of the many stops on his book tour. I attended and had the most amazing time.

I did a lot of campaigning for Mitt Romney during the primaries in 2007-2008. I went to Iowa and Nevada campaigning and was able to attend and participate in the caucus in both states. It was an extremely insightful experience and I learned a lot about the political process. We ALL have such an important responsibility to educate ourselves and do all we can to make a difference. Regardless of your political views or who you support, I encourage all to get involved and do your part.
