Directions

	Step 1: Remove the cheese from the refrigerator an hour before serving.

	Step 2: Arrange on a wooden cutting board or serving platter. Label each cheese so you won't need to recite the names all evening.

	TIPS: For a party in which cheese is the main event, plan on buying 3 pounds for 8 people, 6 pounds for 16, or 9 pounds for 24. If cheese is one of many items being served, plan on buying 3 to 4 ounces per person. To keep the apples browning, after thinly slicing put them in a bowl with sprite or you can add just lemon juice to them and toss.
