The holidays are fast approaching and I will be putting lots of tasty stuff on here. However, we all get tired of turkey and dressing at some point, so here is a meal idea for when you don't feel like cooking - and you just feel like tasting! For a special occasion, Baxter went to Earth Fare and purchased three wildly different types of very good cheese, pate with black truffles, french bread and fresh fruits. He paired the meal with a really good bottle of Rose. C'est parfait! A note about Rose: if you have never tried this wonderful dry chilled wine, please don't think it in any way resembles White Zinfandel. A good bottle of Rose is delicious, crisp and complex. Look for one with a deep color and hints of cherry or citrus. I have had excellent bottles from California, France and other regions. This one is French. Every morsel of this type of meal is packed with flavor and will start your eyes rolling into the back of your head! If you want to eat it all, plan on it taking about 2 hours. This makes excellent grown-up picnic fare or a stay-home date night that will delight your taste buds.
