Chalk it up to great taste

Bringing a cheese to a gathering this week?  Remember to bring a serving platter and knife. It's also a good idea to have a plan for labeling your cheese. Savvy guests will want to know the details on what they are enjoying!

Here are a few tips:

• A slate platter looks stunning and can be written on with chalk.
• Parchment or butcher paper works great under cheese, use your best penmanship!
• White porcelain cheese markers are readily available and can be used again and again.
• Paper place cards make seasonal & stylish markers for cheese.
• If it's a pretty label cut it from the packaging and tuck it under the cheese.
