Ghost Cheese Set
For those purists that feel all you need for a picnic is a bottle of wine and cheese. Make it a good one. From those wonderful Beekman Boys. After five years, they have created a new Goat Cheese made from 100% goat milk from Farmer John's best milkers. This set includes an unique device for shaving the cheese. Lovely!

This dish so reminds me of something that my Mom and her lady friends might make for the Church Picnic or a backyard barbecue. Best yet, it can be thrown together in 15 minutes.
