I just made a big cold plate. It has:

Sliced Muenster cheese
Gruyere, cubed
Goat cheese in olive oil with black peppercorns
Herb flavored mayos: thyme, basil
Genoa salami
Egg salad
Lettuce
Red onion
Tomato slices, drizzled with olive oil, S&P
Kalamatas
Green olives
Cornichons
Large caper berries
Sliced banana pepper
Pretzel bread, cut in slices
Flatbreads with sesame seeds
Cornbread

My fave: cherry kombucha

Dessert: miniature chocolate "apples." Chocolates in the shape of apples.

I'm having leftover short ribs. K wants the leftover salmon. Both have veggies, and I'll toss a salad. We refrigerate leftovers in Tupperware meal trays that go right into the microwave to reheat. Super easy! And they're senior sized, too!
