Yesterday afternoon the wind storm we were having knocked out the power to our neighborhood, and quite a bit of Seattle. I had planned on making a big, complicated dinner - but that had to be shelved. I ran up to Trader Joe's (who luckily still had the lights on) and picked up things for a simple, no-cook dinner. We had loaves of sourdough and olive bread with olive oil for dipping, Honeycrisp apples (the best, by far), almonds, cashews, prosciutto, Iberico hard Spanish cheese, double-cream Brie, Greek olives, artichoke/parmesan dip, and I picked up a bottle of inexpensive Amarone. The indoor pic-nic by candlelight was great. We both decided that we would have liked to have had some music on though. Later, the lights came back on while we were in the middle of a candlelit game of Scrabble...

You make me hope tonight's storm does the same to me. Oh, wait - no Trader Joe's, only a QFC. Hmmm. How about cold wienies and chips with Old Milwaukee over a game of Twister?
Nope. Just doesn't have the same ring ...
sounds perfect to me. makes you wonder why people cook at all sometimes.. ;)
