Saturday, 5/22/21

 Jason has been toying with this idea of a pizza made with a french fry crust, and while we didn't do that precisely, we basically had french fries for dinner. Jason fired up the deep fryer, and then layered the fries in a skillet with mozzarella cheese and threw that whole thing into the grill to get nice and melty. I had a little bit of gravy hanging out in the back of the fridge so that went on there, too. Not quite poutine but obviously delicious! I made a cherry salad that is more like a salsa: fresh cherries, jalapeno, lime, cilantro and olive oil. I loved it, but next time I go blithely throwing a couple of pounds of cherries into the old shopping cart I will be more careful: this was a nearly $10 salad! Why are cherries so spendy??

Dessert (I made dessert!) was a Boston Cream Pie, from David Lebovitz. I followed the recipe exactly and have no regrets. As Jason pointed out, it has the flavor profile of an éclair, but much easier. This one is a keeper!
