Sunday Serial: Cambozola Brie with Bleu, Bellview Winery’s Hyacinth, and the MacBook Air M4

Here’s this week’s list of things to check out. It’s been a long extended winter, and I hope everyone is seeing the promise of greener days ahead. This weekend has certainly not been an indicator of green things to come.

Cambozola Brie with Bleu

Aaron and I stopped at Bagliani’s on the way home from his Rutgers visit last Saturday, and in addition to a big salami (the cashier described it unfavorably as “extra slimy”), we got his favorite cheese, an asiago with black pepper, and this camembert-ish bleu cheese. I like a little stank on my cheese. We’re having spritzes and cheese as I type this.

Bellview Winery’s Hyacinth

Rhonda and I alighted for Bellview Winery today, having reservations about getting a good seat and decent service because of a spring fling event. (I can’t begrudge the business for participating in revenue-driving activities, but they’re a drag for us regulars.) Because of the weather, ti wasn’t crowded, but we were not able to avail ourselves of anting more tasty than some janky buffalo chicken tater tots. We prefer wine and salami with our wine to teenager food. Ahem.

Anyway, we got a bottle of rosé and a growler fill of their Hyacinth. It’s a dry white, less sweet than the Perseus, but lots of pear and melon.

MacBook Air M4

The MacBook Air has been a good choice for anyone needing a Mac for regular productivity for over a decade now. It’s the default for most needs. This one I’m rocking has 512 GB internal storage and, of course, 16 GB RAM. It does it all. This pic is a good example of the Midnight color in bare light.

There’s probably not much to say about the M4 that’s interesting here, but I’ll endeavor to in the future. Having experimented with a KVM switch so that I could run Aaron’s old Alienware PC for a while and switch between it and my Mac Studio, I realized that the M4 Air would be a fine machine for me for all of my needs. To that end, I ordered a dock to keep here at home so that I can dock whatever machine, iPad included, and use it with my Magic Trackpad and keyboard.

More on that later for sure.
