Appetizers - check! Entree - check! Main course - check! Dessert - check! Cheese - check! This was me, last Friday, skimming through my shopping as well as to do list. Checking of items on your checklist, isn't that the greatest?! It was already late in the afternoon and I had not only prepared everything that could be done in advance, my timing was much better than usual. The additional spare time gave me the luxury of going through our complete menu once again, and oh gosh, how could I have missed a little something to accompany the cheese course? Grapes, nuts, store-bought mustard or chutneys usually would do a great job, but since we awaited dear friends from Italy, I waived the typical options and turned to my cookbooks for a quick fix.
