So, I've been a cooking fool this week, which makes me happy. But, today I returned home with no plan in place, yawning my 'you-know-what' off and tons of leftovers and knick-knacks in the fridge. Yes, it was time for mystery "antipasto."
I assembled a few things: a plate of Greek black olives, garlic marinated green olives, Alouette spreadable brie (Neil hates brie rind. I mean, really hates it so this stuff works for him), pepperoncini, pepperoni, sharp cheddar slices and water crackers. And, I sauteed a couple of mini-crab cakes, although at the time of this writing Neil hasn't eaten his, so he's about to forfeit them.
Neil has a biz trip coming up, so this weekend will be more fun for cooking while he's here. I have my (FREE) pound of chicken I got from Earth Fare and some nice looking pork chops in the fridge, so I think I can make an interesting weekend of it. Since tomorrow is the Iceman Challenge, he'll probably be hungry enough to eat shoe leather tomorrow night.
Do you plan a post on shoe leather and the cooking thereof? :) Actually, the meal you described sounds perfect! I recall the time my good friend and Friday Night HH and Supper friend, Ariail, came over and we decided to forgo the steaks and made a meal of pepperoni, sliced Brie, mini Pickles (they have some fancy name according to the menu at Gourmet Shop), olives and the Pepper/Olive Oil Triscuits. We ain't faincy enough for them water crackers :)
