Wanna hear something funny? Growing up I thought I didn't like cheese.
I was just letting that sink in. Now I am 27 and I do not have the metabolism I had growing up and I love cheese. I feel like that did not work out in my favor. However, now I am married and I have all kinds of cool serving platters and pretty things. I like to use, said, pretty things... especially when we have people over!
Last week we had a little going away party for ESPN Caroline. I decided to make a cheese plate. I did about 2 seconds worth of research and knew I would use the resources I had.
2. Cool Slate things you can write on with chalk..... or officially "slate place card holders with soapstone chalk" You might have seen these during our Bachelor nights too. I love these things!! Whenever you have people over it makes things look that more fancy! I've already considered buying another set of 4!
And 3. Cheese. Way back at Easter I blogged about our Scramily. Well one weekend when Sammie's mom and I were both having a girls weekend at Baylor... they introduced me to smoked gruyere cheese. It might actually be the BEST cheese ever invented.
And then there's gouda. How can you deny a cheese when there are memes like this?!
And then there's the classic. Cheddar. That rounded out the cheeses that I wanted. I picked them out from Sprouts I found a white cheddar that was crumbly, but still very, very good. What's more American than a cheese plate? Needless to say it was a hit. 3 was definitely enough for this platter.. but I also have a wooden one that would probably hold 4 or 5.
