I had the day off Monday. Renee had to work, she would be gone from 2pm till around 10pm. I thought it would be a great idea to show her some appreciation by having a meat and cheese tray ready for us when she got home from work.
I had run a variety of errands earlier in the day, going to different markets around town. I was able to get some sliced prosciutto, some marinated artichokes, a Mediterranean blend of olives, a raw milk bleu cheese, a great brie and another hard goat milks cheese. With all of this i needed a nice freshly baked french baguette. My last and most important choice was what type of wine did i want us to have with this wonderful snack? White? No, i was in the mood for some red wine. i found a great bottle of Malbec that would compliment the array of food on out meat and cheese tray.
Once all purchased i just had to wait. i had text her ealrier in the day to have her text me when she was on her way so i could take out the cheese and let it get to room temp. The cheese wold become creamy and delectable.
Below are some photos of our nice spread. We used the leftover brie cheese in the omelets the next morning, and i made myself and Renee salads for lunch with the leftover raw milk bleu cheese.
