I was happily cooking away when my dad called to see if we wanted to try the new burger place in town (Amherst Burger Co.). So I threw everything into the fridge and off we went. The burgers and fries were excellent, but we were headed to UMass to see Into the Woods, so we had to rush. I would definitely try it again! Thanks Dad and Liz!

Usual mushroom/pepperoni/hot pepper pizza. It was excellent. The latest exciting development is slicing them into triangles instead of squares!
Aldi Easter cookies for dessert that are EXCELLENT. So that means they will all get snapped up next year. I knew I should have bought more.

Pasta with lemony cream sauce (from the NYT) ; I followed the recipe basically as written (used the microplane zester) and added roasted broccoli and some parm blend. Not overly creamy, which was actually good. I also sauteed some panko in garlic and butter as a topping; that added a very pleasant crunch. Jason also had some ham, but I was OK without it.

Jason made MORE bread, so we had that with some hard-boiled eggs, cheese and leftover cabbage. It was an excellent bread; I just wish we didn't always have so much of it.

Impromptu dinner with Laurie, Jen and John.Laurie made tomato-leek soup, Jason made garlic flatbread and J & J brought local asparagus. My favorite things: spontaneous plans, friends, and good food. Also, Laurie has new kittens so that was a bonus.

Fry-day on Saturday....french fries, fish and apple fritters (plus some coleslaw I made for Jason and some sauteed cabbage, neither of which we fried). The apple fritters are from a website called Served from Scratch and were fine, but maybe not crispy enough. We were going for the bakery style ones that are more donut-y; this recipe used all ingredients that I had on hand which is why I picked it. The inside is nice and the apples really came through but they weren't quite what we were hoping for. The glaze was delicious, though.
