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 |
