I had planned to make baked potatoes for dinner, but then the day was warmer than I expected and I didn't want to heat up the house. Instead, I pulled out some cold deli meats (ham, salami), various cheeses, some olives and pickles, some asparagus salad that was on sale at the deli counter, some sugar? snap peas, some wedged tomatoes, and assorted crackers on the table. Easy dinner, and I didn't need the oven!
Everyone liked it well enough that I think I'll do some variation of it once a week during the summer.

@spiderdust I love the eggplant dip, I also like the garbanzo beans dip (hummus).

@spiderdust It's not difficult to prepare, but you need the Thaini (sesame seed paste) to add to the pureed garbanzo beans to make the dip smooth.

@LadyDuck I wish I could figure out how to make this dip. It's very different from baba ganoush. I think the eggplant/aubergine is roasted over a wood fire, which gives it this lovely smokiness.

I love antipasto. I may make that...at some point as I have a huge jar of Kalamata olives.

I highly recommend it. We had some Greek olives too, but they weren't purple like Kalamatas, but black.

It was pretty good. No one left the table hungry, that's for sure.

That's a cool idea...Yes the weather's mood affects our food choices
