 Dinner with Jay and Jodi....rice and lentils plus Jason made garlic pizza rolls. We didn't tell Jodi about the butter. They were pizza rolls only in that they were made with pizza dough...I was trying to channel Bertucci's (RIP). I also made a double batch of cinnamon crunch popcorn for Jodi, who had a rough week.

Thursday. 5/11/23

 Pizza night. Sticking with the mushroom/pepperoni/pepperoncini for now as we are still enjoying it.

 Another recipe from "I Dream of Dinner" and it may be my favorite yet. Pork with green chiles sounds so simple and it was! Just ground pork, mild green chiles (cubanelles and poblanos, in this case),spinach, garlic, cumin and lime, served over crispy rice. I added some cilantro because we have a lot. This was so easy and so flavorful. I could have eaten all of it. You don't even have to roast the peppers. Would definitely make this again.

 Bread, again. The man won't stop. I made some egg salad for Jason and some deviled eggs (accidentally too salty) for myself, plus some nice cheddar and more of the watermelon. I had made a rhubarb custard pie (from Spruce Eats) in the morning, so that was nice. Rhubarb season is just beginning so I see a lot of them in our future.

 Leftover pizza; we have been making an effort to eat it so we don't have double leftovers when Thursday rolls around.  Plus a salad with the first of the lettuce from the farm.

The delayed dinner from Friday, finally. White beans "French onion soup" style, with lots of caramelized onions and Swiss cheese (I was too cheap to spring for the gruyere which would have been a little better). I was happy to use up a half bag of white beans that I had hanging around, as well as some of the everlasting bread. Jason really liked this, although I thought it needed something; more acid? Watermelon in lieu of a vegetable. This was another recipe from "I Dream of Dinner" which has some very interesting ideas for not a ton of work.

Saturday 5/6/23

 Happy Pride! Spent the day in Northampton catching up with friends, snacking, hanging out with Corrina and Ramona and finally having pizza at Jen and John's. Jason was having oven troubles so the pizza wasn't perfect, but it tasted great! Who knew fiddleheads would make a good topping? I made a brown-sugar upside down cake that turned out well; warming it up a bit in the oven was key.
