summer solstice meal
Summer solstice means long days, where sundown appears close to 10pm. It throws my body off a little, but I'm not complaining. Today's sunny evening required a light dinner -- too lazy to cook, too warm to cook and give off all that heat. So I turned to a plate of cold nibbly bits.
A fresh French baguette....sliced organic tomatoes drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil and fleur der mer salt...cold raw radishes smeared with equally cold butter and sprinkled with salt....creamy herb-specked French brie....a small chunk of soft and creamy herb & spice havarti....folds of thinly-sliced piquant Calabrese salami....blackberries....and on the side I also had some fat green olives, slippery with some olive oil.
