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.
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.
Oh yum. But how is salami cheaper than pickle??
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.
In Illinois people have cabins in Minnesota or Wisconsin.
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.
In southern Ontario they have them in less-southern Ontario.
In Quebec, people had places up north. I'm not quite sure I'm the sort of person who'd have a second home anywhere other than Jamaica without having CRAPLOADS of money.
Huh. Now that I've typed that ... I wonder how much modest not-on-the-beach property costs in Ja?
