and we had a lot of both at our wine and cheese party the other night.
Veggies and dips (my mom made me the dips cause she's cool like that)....
The artistic fruit platter (the berries are "wine" and the pineapple and melon are "cheese", get it?)...
Cheese (and nuts, honey, mustard, jelly, etc)...
Meat and Cheese....
Wine (well wine charms)...
In conclusion, I recommend that you all have a wine (or beer, or Shirley Temple) and cheese party. Have your friends bring over some cheese and wine of their choosing and then get someone to make something chocolate (like the awesome chocolate fondue we had which I don't have a picture of). Then add in fruit, veggies, bread, crackers, etc. Good stuff. In all we had about 6 types of cheese, a goat cheese ball with basil oil, goat cheese corn cakes, a fruit platter, veggie platter, fondue with strawberries and pound cake, cheese straws, salami, and a ton of crackers and bread. Luckily we had those veggies and fruit to balance out all the other stuff. But as always, the best part was the friendships (which I forgot to capture with my camera).
Have you ever hosted a wine and cheese party?
