Step 1: Cheese
Cheese has to be served at room temperature, it will spread easier and the flavors will really open up. If you serve cheese cold the flavors are inhibited.

Step 2: Watermelon
Watermelon is great on a hot summer day especially when it's ice cold!!

Cookies are definitely better when warm!

Nothing like having a nice warm homemade doughnut with a glass of cold apple cider. This has been my favorite for over 70 years!

The environment in one's house may also have something to do with it. As well, if one's NOT careful, one can suffer from FOOD POISONING.
