I have always loved the look of those plump leaves, varying tones of green and the fact they require bare minimal maintenance. I adore the look of succulents both outside and inside.
   What are succulents? Simply put, they are plants that store water in their leaves and stems so that they can tolerate dry conditions. Most have thick leaves and stems that act like water storage tanks.

I'm just smiling because my Mascarpone Stuffed Strawberries

So here is my exciting news, exciting to me at least !!
Ask my family, when I found out I would be receiving a package from
 Tre Stelle, I was like a kid on Christmas eve.
I sat waiting, looking to the sky watching for that cow that jumps over the moon to drop a cheese parcel in my direction. See, I'm still a little giddy!

Ding Dong - the dog barks and I go running to the front door,. 
Well, as fast as you can go in socks on hardwood.

I tear into the package, I hear angels sing, fireworks go off, 
sparkles fills the air....  ok  I'm exaggerating but I was really 
THAT EXCITED!

Look what they sent me - oh yeah - oh yeah - happy dance - fist pump!!

So, of course I opened the present part of the package first. 
After lots of Ooo's and Ahhh's I look for instructions.
 Do they want me to review the product? Sing the praises of Tre Stelle?
No instructions, nodda, nuthin', nix.
I like that.
BUT - I do have plans. I am already a big Tre Stelle fan.
Their Bocconcini - hello - little balls of heaven
Their Ricotta - the best out there, as a matter of fact when I mentioned this package to friends and family, many commented on the ricotta "you've got to get their ricotta!".
I plan on buying mascarpone - cheese of the gods 
(I hear the angels singing again!)
I'll grab some feta as well, salty deliciousness.
Maybe some swiss, just for a sandwich...
I dunno, I dunno...  you'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks Tre Stelle !!

If you dont know what the rule of 'Thirds' is,

Fun Fact
 Red is the color of powerful rituals and deeds. 
It is believed to have protective qualities and is therefore often used to paint sacred  buildings. These photos are from a Buddhist Temple.
