Man was the weather nice today……too nice to be cooking. Plus, I've been busy at work so I was a bit too lazy to cook.
So why not have something like this for dinner on a warm evening……
From left to right; nem chua, speck with blue cheese and whole grain mustard, truffle pate, head cheese with cucumber, and tongue and red leaf butter lettuce with whole grain mustard.
Don't kid yourself. Two or three rounds of this with a couple of nice saisons and you'll be full and happy.
I know I was.
I could have used some pickles or something with a bit of acid and maybe some red onion for some pungency, but I really wasn't complaining. Loved the head cheese and the tongue with mustard is nice. We were surprised at how sweet the new chua, a gift from a friend's mom was when lined up with items that are more salty.
This was all we wanted, and really, all we needed tonight.
Here's wishing a happy Friday to you all!
whenever I don’t feel like cooking, we have a pupu party, just an assortment of nibbles. This looks great! Have a nice weekend.
what a fine assortment!
Could not agree more; some wine + bread + meat/cheese = all you need.
Hi Kat – That is a nice meal plan!
Thank FH!
Hi JS – Totally agree. And the weather yesterday was perfect for this.
Looking at the three last posts and just shaking my head in amazement. What a range. You da blog man, Kirk.
I dunno Ed. It’s just eating to me. Fried foods, Vietnamese, then being too lazy to cook and go with cold cuts, no big deal. I did love that head cheese though. The Missus really likes the tongue with whole grain mustard.
Nothing like cold thinly cut mystery meats.
Nothing like it Billy!
