Here’s my friend and I, ready for New Year’s. I was fueled by yet another home run lunch at Crabtree’s Kittle House: salmon on a bed of lentils, preceded by a juicy, colorful lobster roll and homemade potato chips.

I can’t say that the pelmeni (Russian dumplings) were blew the Chinese version out of the park, but since I skipped dinner, I found the salami, cheese, and mini pickles bizarrely alluring, and in true starved foodie fashion, wolfed down a plate of appetizers.

“It looks like the vacuum cleaner arrived,” another guest commented as I furiously shoved handfuls of potato crisps and cheese-globbed crackers into my mouth. I ignored him and helped myself to more salami slices. Dipped in sour cream. Oh my gosh. Everything just tasted amazing since I was so hungry.

me and some horseradish sauce, salami, cheese, and a mini pickle… Russian?
