Luncheon meat fit for a luncheon

It was the day of my just-because party. I invited a group of women to get together for some much needed girl time.

The chicken salad was prepared ahead of time. I made a cherry and pineapple dump cake and some sugar cookies. Fun slumber party type games were on the agenda. 

Anticipating the giggles and secrets, I almost forgot to set out the lunch meat platter. I grabbed the meats and cheeses and slapped 'em on a plate. 

My husband intervened. 

"Oh, no, no, no," he said.

"You shouldn't just stack stuff up like that," he said. "Fluff and fold." "Fluff and fold."

"This isn't laundry!" I exclaimed.

"For Pete's sake, at least unwrap the cheeses," said he.

He couldn't believe my callousness and indifference about the matter. 

I've since learned--it DOES look better when you fluff and fold your lunch meat...and unwrap the cheeses.

I don't really have a point. This is just something I've learned about displaying lunch meat. 

I mean, LUNCHEON meat.

Have a lovely day.

  1. Well, in support of the 'fluff and fold' thoughts- it does look more appetizing. And why was he there for a girls day luncheon?

    1. I know--it really does make a difference. He did manage to escape before the sillies took over.

  2. Coincidentally, it was also a man who taught me the same thing. He was a carpenter, but he had once worked for a caterer.

    1. He sounds like a neat guy. I don't think about presentation as often as I should.

  3. That one got a small giggle. It does look better fluffed and folded.
