Sometimes you want to just have the 'food-to-mouth' ordeal to be as painless and simple as possible.
No?
You don't?
Oh.
Well, sometimes I like to make finger food meals.
Meals wherein as little effort as possible is expended in eating, but also wherein every mouthful can be a little different, if you choose.
So, to succeed at this sort of thing, you need variety. You can't just put down three things and as long as they're 'bite-sized', be OK.
I mean, you can keep it simple, and revolve around a 'theme', like I like to do...
In fact, tonight's finger-food meal was basically just 'things-to-put-on-bread'.
On the line-up, we had...
Roasted Tomatoes:
Roasted Red Pepper:
Roasted Garlic:
Fresh Burrata-Like Cheese (I actually FORGET what this was... it wasn't Burrata... but it was LIKE Burrata... Sorry...) I CAN tell you that it was delicious, though... :
Red-Wine Pecorino:
And a high-quality, SHARP Cheddar:
I also threw out a plate of nice EVOO & Balsamic... although the wife doesn't like Balsamics... (sigh).
Oh! And the star of the evening, the BREAD!
Yummy, delicious, freshly home-made, classic french white:
Mmmmmmmmmmmm... I love fresh bread sooooo much. That could very well be the reason for this whole meal... as it all complements, and showcases, the bread.
