Antipasti - A Super Simple Dinner



Barely Buzzed, Point Reyes Toma -- Genoa salami, Bresaola, Saucisson Sec -- Semolina

Sometimes you just don't have the energy, time or inclination to "cook" dinner.  This does not mean that you can't still eat well. Avoid the fast food drive-thru or the frozen meal in your fridge....
Grab what is was easily available from the grocery and/or market ( I have an advantage here - hooray for working in a wonderful gourmet shop) and put together your own antipasti platter.

Cheese/Bread/Charcuterie/Wine - pick whatever combination sparks your imagination.  Or do like I do and ask the experts behind the counter.  I've got the cheese and bread under control but I like to see what the folks at the meat counter or the wine shop recommend.

And then for dessert; hot tea and fruit.    Plenty of the meal will be seasonal choices - particularly the cheese and fruit.   And the best part of this dinner?   You will probably have enough leftover for lunch the next day.  


For fall - pear and earl grey tea
