About six months ago, when I was doing low-carb, one evening when Xena's Guy was out of town I was foraging for dinner and ran across my abundant cheese drawer. (I buy cheese like regular women buy shoes.)
So I took out every cheese I had, cut off a little from each, arranged it on a plate lightest to fullest, and had me a Cheese Tray Dinner! It was SOOOOO GOOD.
The British add bread and call it a ploughman's supper
Now cheese is a very good-for-you food that can stretch a dinner at not too much expense (unless you are getting really fancy).
And cheese keeps quite a long time unopened. So if a nice Mozz goes on sale, I stock up. Then I put a slab on the boys' lunch plate and suddenly their sandwich seems like a nice meal.
