EXPERT ENTERTAINING ADVICE FOR HOSTING SUMMER SOIREES
For summer hosts across the country, few pairings are as timeless and crowd‑pleasing as wine and cheese. Approachable, easy to find and naturally complementary, these warm‑weather favorites are a perfect fit for a variety of occasions.
At the end of the day, summer entertaining is about good food, good wine and creating a space where people feel welcome, according to sommelier Sam Capaldi, whose mission is to make wine fun and approachable.
“My ideal celebration is pretty simple: a few loved ones gathered on the patio, cheese boards in the center of the table, bottles of wine chilling on ice, music playing in the background and a card game that somehow gets way more competitive than anyone expected,” Capaldi said.
Whether it’s a backyard gathering with friends, a solo night watching reality TV or a spontaneous evening, Capaldi wants hosts to remember that the best pairings aren’t just what’s in the glass and on the board ‑ it’s the people, moments and memories that come with them.
In partnership with Cracker Barrel Cheese, Capaldi is sharing simple tips for hosts looking to elevate their summer soirees without the hassle.
Make Entertaining Simple and Fun
The pressure to create the perfect tablescape, prepare an impressive meal and uncork an expensive bottle of wine can feel overwhelming. Instead, a simple text that says “Come over, I have wine and snacks,” can mean the world to a close friend or loved one.
One of Capaldi’s favorite reminders for hosts is they don’t need five different wines to serve
alongside a cheese board. Instead, one or two are often more than enough. The key is choosing versatile wines that pair well with a variety of flavors and textures.
Create Memorable, Crowd‑Pleasing Pairings
Elevate any gathering with some of Capaldi’s favorite approachable wine and Cracker Barrel Cheese pairings such as:
* A refreshing white wine, Sharp White Cheddar drizzled with spicy honey and potato chips. The bright acidity of the wine cuts through the salty chips and rich, savory cheese, creating a fresh and balanced bite.
* A fruity rosŽ, Extra Sharp Yellow and Sharp White Cheddar, garlic naan crackers, slices of prosciutto and a spoonful of strawberry jam. RosŽ is incredibly versatile and plays well with the different flavors on the board, making it a perfect match for several different cheeses.
* Pinot grigio, pretzels and Vermont Sharp White Cheddar. The citrus notes and the bright acidity of pinot grigio cut through the richness of sharp cheddar, while its crisp finish keeps your palate refreshed between bites. Salty pretzels also help highlight the wine’s fruit notes, making every sip taste a little brighter.
Use Seasonal Additions for a Special Touch Summer offers an abundance of fresh produce and seasonal flavors that can elevate any gathering without overcomplicating the occasion. Capaldi recommends adding frozen fruit to wine, such as strawberries, peaches or mangos to whites and rosŽs. The fruit helps keep the wine cold without watering it down and adds a subtle burst of fruit flavor.
When it comes to cheese spreads, a jar of spicy honey can quickly become a go‑to ingredient. For a sweet‑and‑salty combination, try drizzling spicy honey over cheese then pair with potato chips or pretzels so your snack board offers a little bit of everything.

7 HOME SECURITY TO‑DOS BEFORE YOUR SUMMER VACATION
As temperatures have risen and summer has arrived, the anticipation of vacation has filled the air. Whether you’re planning a local getaway or an international adventure this summer, ensuring your peace of mind before departure is crucial. To help you with this, here are some tips to keep your home protected while you’re away. Install a home security system. Few things offer the same peace of mind as knowing you can stay close to what’s important to you while you’re away, and when it comes to your home, smart home security products can help. A Ring Alarm Security Kit or Ring camera provides just that ‑ the ability to monitor what’s happening in and around your home, even while you’re away. Ring Alarm offers affordable, commitment free, DIY home security with real‑time alerts to the Ring app when your Alarm is triggered. Ring cameras have built‑in motion sensors that can alert you in real‑time when motion is detected, and features like Live View and Two‑Way Talk allow you to see what’s happening on your camera anytime, and have a conversation with anyone on the other end, no matter where you are.
Protect your valuables by storing them securely. Don’t forget: visible valuables can be a magnet for unwanted attention, so move them away from windows. Better yet, store valuable items such as important documents, electronics, and jewelry in a designated safe spot at home. Alternatively, you may opt for a safety deposit box to provide an added layer of protection.
Avoid hiding spare keys. Putting a key under the mat or in a false rock is an old trick that needs to be retired. Many homeowners still do this, and it’s a bad habit and a major security risk. Investing in a smart lock or leaving a spare key with a trusted neighbor are much safer options. Take a moment to double‑check your appliances. Unplug non‑essential appliances and
electronic devices to prevent electrical fires or damage during your absence. Not only does this promote safety, but it also helps reduce energy consumption while you’re away. For added peace of mind, consider installing smart detectors that can alert you to trouble. With a Ring Alarm Security Kit, you can purchase a separate Ring Alarm Smoke and CO Listener and get alerted via the Ring app anytime your existing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors sound their sirens. Additionally, the Ring Alarm Flood and Freeze Sensor will alert you via the Ring app when water or low temperatures are detected. (Ring Alarm and all Ring Alarm accessories require a subscription for digital arming/disarming and certain other in‑app features. For more information on which features require a subscription and subscription pricing, check out ring.com/subscriptions.)
Prepare for packages in advance. With summer sales in full swing, a buildup of packages can inadvertently signal an empty home. Amazon Key In‑Garage Delivery is a perfect option to prevent that. In‑Garage Delivery is exclusive for Amazon Prime members, and is a convenient and secure way to receive Amazon packages. Drivers scan your package to receive one‑time access to deliver inside your garage. No need to give out garage codes or let the driver in yourself. The service works with the majority of smart garages, so you may already have what you need to get started. Just select In‑Garage Delivery at checkout and Amazon Key will take care of the rest.
Add smart lighting throughout your home. Install smart lighting systems or timers to mimic your usual patterns of activity at home. This can create the illusion that someone is present, even when the house is vacant, deterring potential intruders. Utilize smart LED bulbs indoors and smart outdoor lighting, and easily customize control settings from your smartphone.
Avoid posting real‑time updates on social media. Although it’s tempting to share your vacation excitement on social media, broadcasting your whereabouts while you’re away can inadvertently make your home a target for unwanted visitors. Save the vacation photos and stories to share once you return.
Once you’ve checked off everything on your home security checklist, it’s time to kick off your summer adventure with peace of mind knowing your home is well protected.

A BOLD AND FLAVORFUL AL FRESCO FAVORITE
Warm breezes that linger longer into the evening, wafting appetizing aromas through the air can only mean one thing: it’s patio season. From casual porch gatherings to full‑fledged backyard dinners, dining al fresco calls for vibrant dishes packed with flavor.
Inspired by the bold flavors of Mexican street corn, or elotes, these Street Corn‑Inspired Stuffed Sweetpotatoes can serve as a hearty vegetarian entree, a colorful side dish to pair with grilled fare or the centerpiece of a casual build‑your‑own dinner spread alongside chilled drinks and easy conversation with loved ones. Providing a naturally creamy base, sweetpotatoes serve as the open‑faced vessel for fresh (or frozen) roasted corn, lime juice, mayo, Greek yogurt, cilantro, jalapeno and Parmesan or cotija cheese.
Different from other potatoes using adjectives like white, red or russet to describe an entirely different vegetable, sweetpotatoes ‑ one word as adopted by the National Sweetpotato Collaborators in 1989 to avoid confusion and make it part of the actual nomenclature rather than an adjective ‑ are rich in vitamins A and C, minerals, antioxidants, fiber and potassium, all of which are good for overall health.

Street Corn‑Inspired Stuffed Sweetpotatoes
Recipe courtesy of Crissy Caroll of Snacking in Sneakers on behalf of the North Carolina
Sweetpotato Commission
Servings: 2
4 medium sweetpotatoes
2 tablespoons light or regular mayonnaise
2 tablespoons plain, nonfat Greek yogurt or light mayonnaise
1 lime, juice only
2 green onions, sliced
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1/3 cup fresh shredded Parmesan or cotija cheese
1 tablespoon butter
2 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked, corn removed from stalk or about 1 1/2 cups frozen or canned corn
1 jalapeno, seeds and pith discarded, minced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
To cook sweetpotatoes: Use fork to poke holes and place on microwave‑safe plate. Microwave potatoes 6‑9 minutes, depending on size, until tender. Set aside.
In medium mixing bowl, mix mayonnaise, Greek yogurt and lime juice until well combined. Add green onions, cilantro and Parmesan; set aside.
Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and melt. Add corn then cook 2 minutes.
Add jalapeno to skillet with corn, stir and cook 2 minutes.
Add garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika and salt. Stir and cook 1‑2 minutes, until corn starts to lightly brown.
Remove from heat. Add skillet ingredients to bowl with mayo‑yogurt mixture. Stir until well combined.
Slice cooked sweetpotatoes open and stuff with corn filling.

FREE KINGSLEY SCHOOLHOUSE TOURS IN CLARKSBURG Join us on the first Sunday of each month, 1‑4pm, through October for free tours of the historic one‑room Kingsley Schoolhouse. Built in 1893 in response to the need for a school within walking distance of farms located in the Little Bennett Creek Valley, the Kingsley Schoolhouse served the local, rural farming community until it closed in 1935. Each year, around 20 children ranging in age from 6‑12 years old attended the school. Since the immediate area was known locally as Froggy Hollow, due to the large number of frogs that could be heard peeping in the low‑lying area, the school acquired the nickname of Froggy Hollow School.
