We celebrate Mom's Day a little early today.

We packed an AMAZING picnic lunch to take to an all-day Bluegrass
festival.......

cheeses: marinated mozzarella balls, soft spreadable crab and artichoke
cheese, sage derby, piccante provolone (not spicy like piccante would
make you think, but aged and dry), and gourmandise with walnuts

breads: seeded onion and garlic lavosh crackers, roasted garlic
foccacia, sourdough

veggies/fruits: mixed olives, fresh may peas (what they call English
peas in the pod around here, due to the may harvest season), grape
tomatoes, apples, red and green grapes, fresh local strawberries

white bean and sun-dried tomato dip

dolmas stuffed with rice and pine nuts (from the deli counter, not
homemade)

herbed smoked salmon pinwheels

terra chips - like potato chips but made from a variety of different
root veggies

magic cookie bars

peanut-butter-cup cookies (from the deli)

white merlot, fizzy french lemonade, bottled water
