Last night’s dinner was as simple as it gets.
Everything on the platter was “purchased”.
We were in Victoria for most of the day yesterday and had a late “Dim Sum” lunch.
Knowing we weren’t going to want a big dinner, we stopped at
a favourite little shop –
and bought a few things to pick at for dinner.
This shop is really a food lovers gem.
If you live in Victoria or anywhere on Vancouver Island for that matter, Charelli’s is definitely worth a special trip.
So many wonderful goodies, many of them homemade such as the
Tapenade
and
Butter Bean salad
I also picked up hot Genoa Salami,
mixed marinated olives and
the most decadent rich and creamy Gorgonzola Torta.
I love this cheese.
Gorgonzola layered with creamy Mascarpone.
And of course a baguette.

Ahh, this is exactly what I do for dinner sometimes, we call it a smorggy, short for smorgasboard (sp?) and the family loves it. I just lay it all out on my biggest cutting board and let everyone dig in.Yours looks really ready to be eaten up!Thanks.

I saw the word Victoria and had to check it out – the photos and food look great. I am in Australia and one of our States is Victoria and most years I go to Melbourne the main city and we do similar to what you have done we have a late yum cha in China Town and then for dinner have \”things\” we pick up at the markets or speciality shops. Last year we went to the Prahan Markets and had a lot of homemade things squirreled away in our fridge.
Wow, that cheese looks amazing, Ann. And you're making me antsy to get back to BC…love your province 🙂
My kind of meal! Happy Easter my friend!
