I served antipasti as intended and mentioned back in this post, specifically mozzarella, brie, cheddar, basil, tomatoes, red pepper, red apple and prosciutto.
I also served a baguette in a wire basket from Home Goods, a good olive oil for dipping in a little white scalloped dish from Pier 1, and a pasta salad in a latte bowl from Anthropologie.
I shared this feast with my fellow blogger, Kate from Une Vie Chic, that evening al fresco on my balcony. She brought delicious proscuitto and goat cheese stuffed mushrooms. She loves all things French as much as I adore all things Italian. That's why I had a mix of Italian, French and American specialties. We had such a great time discussing the European lifestyle both of us greatly value. I suppose we've both been big fans of each other's blogs for awhile, but it was actually the first time I met her in person. It is so great to meet new people.
I had such a busy day that day, transferring a car into my name and other errands, so it was fantastic to serve up something so simple. It was truly easy entertaining. Though, cooked antipasti is good too! ...like bruschetta...
Or simply combining the mozzarella, tomato and basil into some sort of caprese dish...
Once I get through this 64 (work) hour week (Monday through Sunday), then I can think about something social again! That is so American, so not Italian! My boss at my part-time job better hire someone soon. She's well aware that I want to work like 9 hours there.
