Following the Christmas holiday, I found that we had an inordinate amount of cheese.
And we had six or more boxes of half eaten crackers.
How did this happen?
In fact, there are a number of reasons this came about including, but not limited to:
We were given a cheese ball.
I also made a cheese ball before I knew we would be given one.
Someone sent me home from our last day of homeschool co-op with two boxes of crackers. At the time, it seemed like a good idea to bring them home.
But then our neighbors gave a generous box of assorted treats including some gourmet crackers (and sparkling cider),
Someone in business gave Dwayne wine and a Boardarie charcuterie board, assorted brees, and even more crackers.
We gave away some of the wine, but we still had a bottle.
We took the cheese board and crackers to a Christmas party to share, but it wasn't really eaten, so we brought it home.
Hence, all the cheeses and all the crackers and wine and sparkling cider.
So I decided that's what we would have for dinner last night.
Adele helped me arrange the board and the table.
We added fruits and nuts and olives and assorted leftovers like grilled chicken slices and goodies like raspberry bars that needed to be eaten.
We played the card game "Debatable" while we ate.
It was lively, festive, and memorable.
And I didn't have to cook!
Amen.
