What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Joy of Eating: Bleu Plate Special! As the day winds down, the kids are fed, and the sunset turns to burnt-sugar orange, take some time out for yourself. Make a delightful cheese plate filled with inviting textures balanced by a range of flavors from aged and smoky to salty and sweet. Pair with a glass of sweet wine (or fruity spritzer) for an amazing taste sensation. Sink back into a comfy chaise lounge and let soft music fill the room. Remind yourself this is a classic French dessert, and prepare to be pampered.
BLEU PLATE SPECIAL
Ingredients:
Wedge of Bleu Cheese (or any aged cheese variety)
Bunch of Green Grapes (or any seasonal fruit)
Smoked Almonds
Water Crackers (or crusty breads)
Instructions:
Choose a platter where all ingredients can be arranged in a simple way, leaving space between choices. Identify cheeses if offering more than one kind. Rule of thumb: Place one cheese knife or spreader for each type of cheese. Keep it simple.
I love blue cheese!

I use a hearty piece of sourdough, sometimes ciabatta. Caramelized onions and some S and P. Slooooow cook in a frying pan since brie takes its time, and then WOW!
