Side note:
I have a restaurant quality deli slicer.
One of our favorite summer time, back deck appetizers is beef carpaccio. (I think I have posted it here in the past)

Laid out on a cold plate. Drizzled with a bit of EVOO, dusted with salt and course ground pepper. An arugula salad (tossed with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil) served in the center of the plate.
I miss summer already.........
