Cheese, pickle, salad, bread and butter.

Ploughman's Lunch. That's the thing I learned today.
There was a chesse & stuff shop on my way home from work at the last place I lived in VA, and if I knew I wasn't going to feel like cooking, I'd pick up salami, cheese, and bread (I had the butter at home) for dinner. No healthy salad most of the time, sad to say.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The salads I've had with Ploughman's Lunches haven't been all that healthy, JenP, so you're most of the way there.

yeah a salad is a big name for sort of sad little iceberg leaves.

Is having a summer place some east coast thing? I swear, no one I knew around here had a summer place, but it seems like a lot of people in the online world have access to them, and I'm confused.

Because books.
In New Jersey, a lot of people (well, wealthy people) had houses down the shore. And some families had places in the Poconos.
They were the exception, rather than the rule, though, at least among my friends.
