Wine and Cheese....

are really awesome....
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?

NO...but I wish I had friends to throw a party like that and who would come because wine and cheese are my two favorite things pretty much ever! love your display.

Wine + Cheese= Awesomeness.... seriously. Can we do this every month?

If we do this every month we probebly need to get the running team back together again, to help offset. b

Yeah that is a good point B.... ok, we will schedule to run a 5k but we will also do wine and cheese every month. I'm in.

Yeah and maybe also add more fiber to our diet, just saying.
