Friday, 3/1/24

 We went back t old school toppings this week: Mushrooms, peppers, sausage and onions. Jason kindly sautéed the vegetables for my benefit, since I don't like raw peppers or onions.  Good if exceedingly hearty.

For dessert Jason made a quick sweet pizza to use up some forgotten pears from the fridge, and I made Mexican hot chocolate cookies (NYT) that were a bit fiddly but worth it. I took the advice of many commenters and stuffed the mini marshmallows into the cookies and then chilled them (rather that trying to work with very cold dough); it was reminiscent of forming pupusas. Two notes: I was cautious with the spices and wouldn't be next time, and the recipe calls for freezing your mini marshmallows but since they thaw while you are working I don't see the point. Anyway, after all the stuffing and chilling and rolling in cinnamon sugar, I will say that they are so good: chewy and spicy with nice gooey bits of marshmallow. Definitely a keeper.
