Good morning and happy Monday. Finally! A nice sunny weekend! I’m blogging this from my front porch this morning, too, trying to take advantage of the nice weather, even while I’m working!
I had a lovely weekend. On Friday, my parents had us over for dinner and served chicken with a mayo-jalapeno sauce. Sorry, no photos of that.
On Saturday, I went to a beat-the-recession potluck party at my friend Bette’s.
Here’s Bette (on the right):
Here’s the pot luck:
Lots of great stuff:
I made a sour cherry pie:
It was a big hit!
After all that food Saturday afternoon, Saturday night supper was a glass (or two) of wine and picking at leftovers.
Sunday I bike down to the Piermont Farmers Market and took a few things for a picnic on the pier. Ricotta, almonds, semolina bread, hothouse tomatoes:
And some sweet cherries:
For supper, cheeseburgers with leftover corn and beans from the garden:
I also had a little dough and a few cherries leftover, so I put them together to make a galette:
Delicious:
And with that, here’s what people have been talking about this weekend:
