Wow the fish seems so simple and fresh! I’m definitely going to have to try that. I wonder if it’ll work on the grill with foil instead of parchment?

I was just re-reading a few of your posts and stumbled across this one. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring insight into your life. I was just about to buy a gilthead today, but went for trout instead – can’t wait to try your version of a roasted fish-dish.

I always feel inspired by all of your posts, I might be considered “too young” to be on food-blogs and this kind of internet-pages. But i feel completely at home even though I’m only soon to be seventeen. These “dating my husband series” gives me so much inspiration, to really (when the time has come and I find myself someone that I want to spend my life with) just take care of US, not care about the outer world or anything else. Thank you for everything, you’re great!

[…] I love this post because it mentions Travels with Charley, a book I hold dear to my heart, and talks about cheese, which I also hold dear to my […]

I love this series too. This looks like a beautiful recipe and sage advice for a control freak like myself. It’s so easy to lose yourself in the day to day of children and work and forget that on the other end is the person you chose to begin this journey with. I need to remember that more often – as i eat more cheese with him 🙂

This is so beautiful. I have also worried my brain with things out of my control. I am not married, but would hope to find love where it is o.k to accept the things we cannot control and cherish a sweet dinner night that we can control. I love this. Thank you! I will have to pick up a Steinbeck book.

would heavy cream work in place of the whole milk do you think?

I so love your dating my husband series – I look forward to them. This sounds like a scrumptious dinner and the pictures are wonderfully moody. Also, Steinbeck is my favorite author – I’ll have to add this one to the list!

I love this series more than I can describe pre-morning coffee. Thanks for continuing to share insightful relationship inspiration and beautiful meals. Both are always appreciated.

Such a beautifully crafted post. The way you neatly packaged a journey, marriage and a meal in one descriptive package is perfect.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences as well as your beautiful pictures!

How lovely to stumble across your blog — I swear, I wasn’t looking for a cheese plate. But there it was! And you were in my home state! I went on that same media trip a few years ago, but it looks like you tried a few new things. Anyway, just saying hello and you have a new fan. It was fun to read about cheese — my staple, my beat — in a new context. Cheers to you!

Life is so uncontrollable and it drives me crazy. I am always worried about something, seriously worried, to the point of my mom asking me if I’d even be happy if I wasn’t worried. What a wakeup call. Friday I went to see Regis Philbin’s stage show and told myself I would stop worrying and have fun. It was the best night I can remember having in years. Too bad I couldn’t keep the worry away for ling.

Hi there! Do you think I could use heavy cream instead of whole milk? I have the former on hand, but not the latter… 🙂

MG – hahaha. I’m imagining it and laughing hysterically. Seriously charmed. Wisconsin was so much prettier than I imagined. Miles and miles of farmland. Sort of want to move. I do the accent well too.

Christie – Thanks so much for this lovely comment. Joy and freedom when we fully understand that our lives are controlled by One who is much greater than ourselves. Letting that sink in and really invade my life is what I’m currently working towards. I hope you do make the caramel deliciousness. So good (and rich).

Megan – You will LOVE travels with charley. I highly recommend listening to it while driving to Eastern Washington as we did (I bought A Moveable Feast while in Leavenworth). A cozy chair and a stack of books – it awaits you soon, my friend.

Suzanne – I love your perspective. I don’t want to give the impression that my marriage always feels like work but for me sometimes giving the extra push at the end of the day to invest in my most important earthly relationship does require more energy than I feel I have. I’m very introverted and at the end of the day I’d rather curl into a little hole but I also realize much of this is because I have three young kids to care for during the day. And with travel, I think I miscommunicated a bit – we do enjoy some separate trips but I always come home wanting to share that experience with my husband in some capacity but mostly I just love knowing that in this crazy adventure of life he is my constant traveling partner. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

I have been married for a few decades now and I must admit I do very little analysis of why it has worked and others’ marriages have crumbled. We hear a lot about working at marriages but mine has never felt like work, just a natural evolution through time. We travel together and we travel apart and both have their good and bad parts. I agree that we only have control over the small things – the rest is pretty much random.

Ahh yes…a big fan of control here, too. Slowly learning to let that go a little. And I can’t believe I’ve never read Travels with Charley. A little stack is piling up of “to reads” after the book’s finished. I’ll add this to it (you got it in Leavenworth, no?) Look forward to hearing more about the trip. Man I love cheese. xx, mg
