Trump Your Party!!!
Do you want to party like a President? If you want to party like Donald Trump on Inauguration Day, then you would need to serve his favorite foods. Bacon and Eggs, meatloaf sandwichs, well-done rib eyes, and NO alcohol or caffeine would be on your menu! Hmmm…not my idea for a party, so I suggest a Gourmet Cheese Platter.
Start by selecting the cheeses from these categories:
Aged: Cheddar, Goat, Gouda
Soft: Brie, Camembert
Firm: Parmigiano-Reggiano
Blue: Gorgonzola, Stilton
Plan to have 3-4 ozs. of cheeses per person. Serve the cheeses with various crackers, sliced breads and baguettes. I like to have sweet preserves or honey, fruits, and cured meats like salami or prosciutto, olives and artichokes as accompaniments. Now choose a serving platter. This can be a wooden piece, marble, or your favorite pottery. Serve the cheeses whole and use cheese knives and slicers. Have the cheeses at room temperature prior to serving. Select a good wine or stout ale. You have now “Trumped” your party so Enjoy!

Melinda Sykes Hart considers Magee her hometown after moving here in 1975. She met and married her husband of 31 years Ted Hart (who has deep family roots in Magee…remember Ted’s Swap Shop and the San Motel?) and they raised their daughter Devin Day Hart in Magee. After spending many years as a Radiological Technologist, Melinda followed “God’s Plan” and opened a Deli at the historic Mendenhall Grocery and Grain. She didn’t always know the “plan” God had for her, but she continued cooking and Sassi Southern Catering was formed. Melinda feels her joy in helping others plan their special events has fulfilled many of her dreams. She hopes to share her enthusiasm for creating and tweaking recipes and splaying these food with her readers. As always, Melinda is “Cooking from the Hart.”
