1. Good company
2. Vitamin-C Burst. Mark Bittman's Winter Citrus Salad is both gorgeous and the homoepathic equivalent of the flu shot. Blood oranges (that most divine of winter fruits), pink grapefruits and navel oranges are dressed with a sherry vinaigrette (we substituted good old red wine vinegar) and a tarragon garnish. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/20/dining/201mrex.html
3. Cheese (of course). Fairway can always be counted on for one of my all time favourite cheeses: Delice de Pommard. This ball-shaped triple creme goat cheese from Burgundy is rolled in mustard seed and is the perfect tangy/rich combination. We served it with our recent discovery of "Mary's Gone Crackers" biscuits. They're crisp, gluten-free and organic crackers made from brown rice, quinoa, flax and sesame seeds. Best of all, they have no added fat, which is a good thing when you consider how rich the cheese is.
