My kid's comin' in from the left coast in a few weeks, and the flights are generally late arrival in the mid-west.
I was thinking of some little benedictine sandwiches (pureed cuke and onion with cream cheese and seasonings, try them). Last time I made them added in some smoked kippered herring. I'd also like to add a light salad. Could do boggy's English pea salad, which is a delight, or maybe sticking with the cuke theme and do a cucumber-dill style salad, to be accompanied by a nice cold, crisp white, probably pinot grigio...
Ideas welcome...(except from the crazy alaskan)...LOL
um, I'm a little in the dark with this one. Up until about 6 weeks ago, she was an avowed veggie eater. Then, she tells me she ate some chicken breast. Then I heard from her sister she is having turkey breast sandwiches for lunch...so, I have to tread carefully...don't think meat is on the menu...??!!??
along those same lines serve shrimp salad in avocado halves with sweet grape tomatoes and baby greens on the side. Maybe pair with some small fruits and a nice white wine with some shredded cold chicken. That would also go great with your mini cuke sandwiches.
Publix bakes a great english muffin bread that also works well for toast the next day. Have them slice it thin.
A steamed artichoke with lemon butter might be nice!
Sherbert afterwards!
All of this can be prepared ahead of the visit,
Goodness what have we become??
BTW deviled eggs are now all the rage in this area. Served with pig candy and watercress!!

A bunch of poofters if the menus are any indication.
