I might squeeze in another post before heading out of town again tomorrow for a two wedding, two state, three city weekend, but in case that doesn’t happen I want to leave you with an idea for a weekend dinner. Or an eat-this-at-least-once-a-week dinner, which is my plan after eating this last night. And yes, I am aware that it is only Wednesday, but my weekend starts on Thursday. Never mind, I’m unemployed. Everyday is the weekend! Wahoo! What better way to celebrate unemployment than eating good cheeses and sipping wine? Eating good cheeses and sipping wine at a vineyard in California instead of my apartment in Minneapolis is all that I can come up with, but if I were in California then the cheese course probably wouldn’t be followed by a round of Trivial Pursuit set to the beat of the Wu-Tang Clan, so I’ll take the Minneapolis option.
Clockwise from top left: grapes, la petit cave roquefort, cherry preserves, cana de cabra, raw almonds, mahon, and olive tapenade.
Another thing, expect some poor quality photos for a while until I figure out how to work with the lighting in my new apartment.
Served with a baguette, seeded crackers, salted butter, and a salad of peaches, avocado, tomatoes, radishes, and more, which deserves its own post.
Thanks to my amazing mom for helping me move apartments and funding a trip to the grocery store to buy items that would not ordinarily be possible on the budget of someone who’s unemployed.
The leftovers make for an exquisite lunch – a tomato, avocado, spinach and blue cheese sandwich with cucumbers and olive tapenade on the side.
I am just sad I couldn’t join you for wine and cheese when you were in Cali. Next time….oh and now I am thirsty and hungry. maybe I should stop reading these at work!
Little known fact: amazing moms are the direct result of amazing children! Plus, I love shoving around heavy, unwieldy pieces of furniture! And I never pass up a chance to go to Whole Foods!!!
