Puttered around in the kitchen for much of the day. I made a version of Smitten's "Smashed Potatoes with Sweet Corn Relish" : https://smittenkitchen.com/2020/06/smashed-potatoes-with-sweet-corn-relish/
I had some beautiful little fingerling potatoes from the farm, so I just boiled them (no smashing needed), I didn't bother to blanche the corn (fresh sweet corn is so good it doesn't need it) and I served everything with grilled chicken. I was going to skip the green pea puree, but I am glad I didn't. For such a simple sauce (peas, lemon juice, salt) it really adds a lovely flavor. Dessert was a butterscotch cream pie from Food & Wine, in a graham cracker crust (no baking!). Carter found it too sweet, but the cookie butter whipped cream (can you believe that's a thing?) may have put it over the top. Sometimes, in my quest for the best butterscotch pudding, I wonder if what I am really craving is the mix?
A really nice, flavorful summertime dinner.
