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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
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

WOO HOO ALTERNATIVE FLIGHT!!
We call basically any snack "girl dinner" in our house, I think because that meme was reaching peak internet saturation over a weekend when Ethan had taken the kids out of town without me and I declared my intention to have microwave nachos for every meal.

I have totally failed to grasp the meaning of “girl dinner”. I am old and have irregular eating habits at best.

My SIL generally makes the decisions of what my nails will look like for the next 3 weeks. This week she made me more girly girl than ever, and I kind of love it. Glued on flowers that she promises will stay put. [link]
I just put together a new bed frame with an absurd number of pieces so I think I trust her on this now.
