Finding Your Rhythm & Blues (May 22 – May 28, 2016)

Good friends don’t need a grand-stand meal. I love to serve appetizer platters in the casual sitting area. Pop some Champagne and let the fun begin. For a great appetizer platter create a tray of blues – the finest blue cheeses! With gloves, roll some Stilton(from Britain) into small ball shapes and then roll the cheese in chopped walnuts. Then, roll some Gorgonzola (from Lombardia and Piedmont in Italy) into small ball shapes and roll that cheese in chopped almonds. Next, roll some Roquefort (from the Mid-Pyrénées region of France) into small ball shapes and then coat with chopped pecans. And last but not least, roll some Danablu (from Denmark) into small balls and coat with poppy seeds. Your divine selection of four cheeses can be showcased on individual skewers, nicknamed lollipops or as a cheese kebab. The fun part is that each person needs to receive a flight of four honey selections to dip the marvelous indulgent blues into. It is a cheese connoisseur’s delight or a novice’s teachable moment. Embrace the camaraderie; embrace your friends for the love of cheese and to find your rhythm with blue cheeses! © Kelly McBride Loft
