Everything You Need to Pack for a Beach Honeymoon
You wouldn't think that planning what to pack for a beach honeymoon is that much different from a honeymoon anywhere else, but this is the beach.

Choosing the Right Cheese
As between mouse and man, I would say that it's man who is the more devoted to cheese. Certainly cheese is my own year-round favorite double barreled food. Cheese is like wine in that it bears the same relationship to milk as wine does to grapes. Like wine, too, it plays a leading role in adding richness to dishes and it also varies food textures.
