Friday, 11/6/20

 Grilled pizza at Jen and John's. Jason and John adapted their fire pit for pizza cooking. After one trial (half burnt), the rest turned out really well! Two with cheese, one with onions, pine nut and goat cheese. Fun and delicious. For dessert, I brought cupcakes (at Jason's insistence; from a box) with a frosting from Sally's Baking Addiction. It was OK, even though I tried my best to mess it up: accidentally used twice as much butter as called for, and then kept adding more and more powdered sugar...then it broke, of course. Anyway, I finally made it basically usable and piped it on so at least they looked cute. After all that, I was prepared for disaster, but they were actually not bad. Go figure. Why I chose that recipe is a mystery anyway, since I don't like American buttercream and I get really annoyed with things that describe themselves as "caramel" when they are really just brown sugar and melted butter....

Anyway, it was a lovely night:
