we had a "merenda" this evening for dinner; a cold meal or snack, rather than a hot meal. well, a few things were cold and a few things were hot. morgana has been raving about the merende she would have in tyrol. we had homemade hot dogs from our local butcher, a salad, sharp cheddar cheese, salmon with dill and scallions, sautéed baby broccoli with garlic, leftover dumpling potatoes, and the last of the ingwer sirup mixed with water.
truthfully, i find it more work to put together a merenda than to cook up a hot stew of carrots, potatoes and beef. maybe it's because i find it difficult to organize so many little things . .
Your tree is still up?! That is a fancy "Abendbrot." My parents only serve bread, cheese, and some kind of lunch meat. That goes much faster.
ReplyDeleteI agree! That does sound much faster!
DeleteI know . . the tree is still up :( It must come down!
