Charcuterie Heaven

Charcuterie boards are one of my favorite things and I was lucky enough to have three of them in one week!


This skellie board was one my daughters and I did for my birthday.  You might remember the skeleton from most post a few weeks ago when one of Grandsons buckled him up in our car.  The skeleton board was all candy and sweets, but the cheese board next to it was cheese and crakers.  The speckled cheese was our favorite.  It was red and green bell pepper cheese with a bit of spice.  

This next one was a board we purchased at Provisions Cheese and Wine Shop in Wetumpka, Alabama.
Funny story about the board.  We ordered the $10 board to go with our $5 Mimosas and they brought this.  We immediately thought they must lose money on the boards!  The owner came by a bit later and told us they had made a mistake and gave us the Humphrey Bogart Board in error ($28).  We totally lucked out!  The bottom cheese was a cave aged cheddar and we loved it.  The crackers were pumpkin with a basalmic glaze.  Amazing!

The mimosa in the top of the picture is my ticket to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where the T-day gang all share their posts containing a drink of any kind.  Happy T-day friends!!!

One last board - this was from last night.  Since the people at Provisions were so nice, we bought some cheeses to make another tray. 

The brown block on the bottom was a Caramel flavored cheese from Norway.  They told us to put it on waffles and green apples so we did.  I think we were all afraid to try it, but it was wonderful.  The kids were eating it like coffee.  I bought Brownie Belguim waffles instead of making my own.  In the top left corner there is a ghost pepper and pear cheese (wonderful), and in the middle is a BLT cheese ball (it was from my sister-in-law and was a hit).  There is also fried turkey and spicy pickles.  We also had French Fry Mountain.

After all this wonderful and fattening food, I am going to be on a diet for sure.

Hope you had a week full of fun foods and fabulous drinks as well.

Hugz,

Nancy

  3. Wow those boards look amazing. Well done on getting the $28 board for $10, that was a nice bonus. The skeleton one would have been fun for Halloween. Happy T Day Elle/EOTC xx

  5. All this yummy food. You really got lucky with the $28 board you didn't pay $28 for. It looks delicious. And I agree, there is nothing better than a board so you can nibble. I like the one you and your daughter made with the skeleton too. What fun. I haven't had a mimosa since I think last Christmas. They are great, aren't they? I hope you have a wonderful week Nancy, and a very happy T day too. Hugs-Erika

  10. I was hungry when I got here, and now I'm even MORE hungry after seeing all those cheeses. You lucked out on that one cheese board and it was great that you purchased a few more cheeses, too. I'd say it was a win-win for you and the shop. I have to admit I've never had a cheese ball I liked, but your sister-in-law's sounds great. Maybe she would share the recipe with me.

    All your Charcuterie boards are wonderful. And of course, I like the mimosa you shared, too. Thanks for these photos of all your Charcuterie boards you had this week, as well as your mimosa for T this Tuesday. Pass the fries, please (grin)!

  15. Oh! This is bad - I'm drooling over cheese at nearly midnight-I've yet to meet a cheese I didn't like - the caramel one might be a challenge as it just might have a little too much sugar...but if it tastes nice I would be tempted to overlook that! :-)
    Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

A Martini, Peanut Butter Cupakes, and Art

Hello Friends. Today, I have an ecletic mix of drinks, dessert, and art. First, it's T-day somewhere in the world so time for a drink post which I am linking to Elizabeth's Blog - Altered Book Lover.  Last week we had a work related dinner.  When the waitress asked what I wanted to drink, I had a sudden craving for a martini.  I use to love them, but I guess my tastes have changed because I wasn't a fan.  I was a fan of the chips and dips though! And the day before, I brought my Sister's fabulous peanut butter cupcakes.  Mainly because I was craving them and couldn't ask her to make just one..... Over at **Art*Journal*Journey* Elle picked a theme of Books, Cats, and Tea (you can pick one, two or three of the items).  I did a Bible Journal Page in my Journaling Bible - Luke 13:24-25.  After a layer of Gesso, I took a Sharpie pen and drew the kitty, then the narrow door, and then colored the door with Arteza Brush pens. The verse was written with a Micron pen.  This

Milkshake Malt Porter and a Bit of Art

 Hello friends and Happy T-day. It has been hit or miss with me lately on T-day posts. The remodel of our house next door has taken our mental and physical energy.  I think a few more weeks and things will be on the contractor instead of us.  Hopefully I will be back to normal by then. My Oldest Darling Daughter asked if we wanted to come for dinner Saturday.  Translation:  go to the store with me and we will bring part of dinner to your house and you cook the rest.  While at the store, I saw one 6 pack of this fun milkshake porter so, of course, I bought it.  It smells wonderful (a hint of chocolate and a hit of malt) and has a light creamy taste.  I would definitely buy it again if I see it.  My son-in-law did not like it, but he is more a  Miller Lite fan.  Now if this had been a whiskey, he would have been all over it.  LOL.  Linking this to Elizabeth's blog for the T-party gang. Darling Daughter had tried her hand at dried pintos, and she rocked them (I will begging for a rep
