A Spontaneous Feast

A visit to the supermarket with an equally enthusiatic grocery-shopper (we find it therapeutic) on Sunday evening had us both salivating madly at the variety of fresh fruit, cheese and other produce on display.

"Let's cook!", said we

(which I later learnt meant: "You cook!" on my companion's part)

We prowled the aisles, mental menus changing a dozen times,

swiftly snatching things up and putting others back just as quickly.

As I had woken up at 3 and stayed in bed pigging out til 6

(Chilli, Chic Sandwich, Bircher Muesli)

We planned a light, but satisfying supper.

One of those

Assemble-Yourself-Eat-at-Leisure-in-Front-of-the-TV-Affairs.

the

Portobello Mushrooms baked with Herb Butter, English Ham & Brie

came after the

Red Grapes, Baguette, Garlic Bread, Pate de Foie, Roma Dip & Brie

this was absolutely delicious, all that garlicky,tomatoey,olive oil goodness soaking into the slices of baguette and dripping down our chins.

Bruschetta of Roma Tomatoes, Basil, Onions, Garlic, Olives +Extra Virgin & Garlic Bread

The other one only ventured into the kitchen to make the drinks. Apple Martinis with Sperm Joose, spiked with god-knows-what-else...aptly named Spermtini.

Delish!
