Last summer while window shopping in the historic area looking for a great lunch spot, the Culpeper Cheese Company reined us in!
CULPEPER CHEESE COMPANY FOR SCENIC CUISINE
At the lunch counter, a charcuterie board was customized for us…a first for us.
Sitting down in the back of the shop to enjoy our lunch, we enjoyed a cute, cozy, and quaint space, with peeks of lovely offerings to purchase, all of which I wanted to put into my shopping cart!
Since we always enjoy cheese, meat, and crackers (not that we ever thought to call it a charcuterie board) on New Year’s Eve for game night, we decided to peruse their cheese selection to purchase some for Christmas.
At the cheese counter we were offered samples of various types of cheeses in the case that intrigued us.
Purchasing some of those samples and our favorites from lunch, we took our cheeses home.
APPETIZERS FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE
After my kids came home from work we settled into our traditional snacks and game night to welcome in the New Year.
Excitedly, my son neatly arranged all the Culpeper Cheese Factory cheeses on my Christmas snowman platter.
My kids love it when I find the buttery snowflake crackers for the cheeses.
My son also arranged the other appetizers, like the shrimp cocktail, quite perfectly.
DESSERT FINGER FOODS FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE
And of course lots of dessert finger foods still left from Christmas…
GAME NIGHT FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE
Our favorite game was Scrabble, which we stretched quite well on the diagonal this year.
After the winner put his/her name in the box lid, he/she chose the next game…which we repeated through the evening, while watching Bachelor Mother with Ginger Rogers and David Niven, a funny New Year’s Eve movie from 1939.
