Salts

Jars of gourmet salts march across the counter at Quel Fromage, Fairhaven's dangerously yummy cheese shop. A friend and I had a picnic lunch with their "Fromage A Go-Go." We chose the box packed with wedges of brie and blue cheese, a little jar of honey (from my neighbor, Rob and his Backyard Bees!), two mini crusty baguettes, strawberries, and two amazing chocolate ganache-stuffed figs. It definitely beats my usual PB&J picnic lunch!

Everybody's Store

Tucked in a valley along the south fork of the Nooksack River, Everybody's Store is a a throwback to a simpler time. A foodie's destination in what looks like an old gas station on the side of the highway, it's stuffed with unique cheeses, wine and all kinds of funky knick-knacks and crafts. When the proprietor slid our sandwiches across the deli counter they reminded me of the kind of sandwich Dagwood might have made.
