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

The Sea, Words of Courage, and Some Ink/Watercolor

Hello friends, Last week felt like a stormy sea of its own with my husband recovering from recent hip replacement surgery and several friends and family members facing life battles - my heart was caught in the waves. Computer issues and lack of sleep didn't help. Mark 4:39-41 reminded me: even when the winds rage, Jesus is in the boat. He speaks peace over the chaos. “Peace, be still.” I needed that reminder. Several lovely Creative Worship Stamps sets were used in the making of this watercolored and inked BAJ page: The Sea (the boat and verse), Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grasses, and Have Courage . This page was stamped, then watercolored with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I finished it off with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed, and Ground Expresso), plus a little bit of Silver Stickles. We have a lot of things going on in life and you time is precious, thank you for spending a little bit with me.  Hugz, Nancy

Flowers, a Flag, and Some Wise Words

Hello Crafty Friends! I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities... I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too. In these verses, Paul tells Timothy (and all of us) to pray for everyone but he especially calls out prayer for kings and leaders. He indicates that this type of prayer could lead us to a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity. I think we can all agree that the world needs much prayer right now and it is an easy step we can take.   I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the fut...

Wise Words for Life's Storms

 My first post as a Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps. This watercolor and ink card features one of my favorite CWS sentiments - Big God . I am so grateful He is there in storms and this stamp beautifully underscores His power. The main panel of this card is watercolor paper and was painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Liquid Ink (the white highlights in the rain drops). The words were stamped with black ink from Close to My Heart. Hugz, Nancy
