We decided to indulge in some of the Philly bounty we brought home.
A couple of baguette slices for each of us from Philly’s Metropolitan bakery with garlicky sautéed baby bellas & shiitakes, and topped with melted Taleggio from DiBruno’s & TJ’s raclette, respectively.
Inspired by @GretchenS’s recent snacky meal, I unearthed a Nueske’s smoked duck breast we ordered >cough, cough< last holiday season that had been waiting patiently in the freezer to get into our moufs.
And so, I made a sooper-dooper-extra-speshul-fancy-shmancy salad with bibb, Belgian endive & radicchio in a walnut vinaigrette with a very rich, fruity & thiccc pomegranate balsamic — another Philly purchase from eons ago, gilded with smoked duck breast, blackberries, blue cheese, and walnuts.
A nice Barbera d’Asti to drank with.
Shmancy Shmonday. Don’t mind if I do.
