Ingredients for a Dairyland Xmas

Annika and I just returned from a trip across state lines for some holiday provisions.
Our destination? Cuba City, Wis. to acquire the ingredients for a Christmas Eve snack platter.
We went to Gile Cheese Shop in Cuba City (learn about it here) and we purchased:
* Weber's Meats summer sausage and beef stix.
* Gile cheese curds.
* Bucky Badger Sweet-N-Hot mustard.
Throw in a cold glass of beer, and you have got yourself the quintessential snack from America's Dairyland.
It only takes us 20 minutes or so to drive to Cuba City, but the folks who are visiting us this holiday live much farther from Wisconsin, so this cheese and meat should be a treat.
Apart from Wisconsin excursions, we've been readying the house for its inaugural Christmas as host domicile. For me, that meant a pre-dawn trip to the grocery store.
Leaving home in the dark, I returned in the daylight in time for live English football on Fox Soccer Channel.
Liverpool defeated Watford, 2-0, thanks to goals by Craig Bellamy and Xabi Alonso.
