And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

Mr. Loomycakes is out of town at a big Magic: the Gathering event, being Mr. Famous Artist. I decided I wanted a charcuterie plate, so I used DoorDash to have a bunch of fancy snacks delivered. I'm justifying this to myself with the knowledge that, given the opportunity, I will eat charcuterie plates as often as I can.

Ha! My friend calls this Girl Dinner.
They do have a particularly fabulous charcuterie option at my bar, Alembic. With the requisite cheese and meats but also garlic confit and fig jam and coarse grained mustard etc. Not to mention a fab vegan mushroom pate.

I’ve heard charcuterie described as “Lunchables, only good,” which is plausible. I’m currently doing keto, so every day involves a cheeseboard.

THERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE FLIGHTTTTT. Travel agent found that miracle.
If all goes well I'll arrive a day later with an overnight in Europe but it looks doable, as long as the airspace here is still open.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee F2F Buffistas! Keep your fingers crossed please.

Hmmmm. Charcuterie, cheese, crackers, olives, grapes, berries -- we called these "finger foods" or "nibblements." Hospitality snacks, or perhaps appetizers, but not meant as a meal. Is that not usual?

I'm going to credit Buffista~ma! I am so relieved to hear this, Shir. You really need a break.

Even before Keto this was a common meal for me. Did not suffice for DH or the boys, but for me, just the perfect meal. I always do an aesthetically pleasing arrangement, which sparks joy for me.

One person's appetizer is another person's meal.

Hooray Shir!
I do not feel particularly attached to charcuterie boards as such, but a whole salami, an appropriate block of cheese, some crackers (optional, but nice to have) and a knife can keep me fed for several meals
