Seriously long Saturday with the kids: farmer's market, walk at Botanical Gardens, home for lunch, soccer game (Miles), haircut (Willem), stop at a friend's house, quick grocery store trip. We got home at 6:00, and I immediately fixed myself a rum and coke. Much better. Then, I made sandwiches.
Now people who know me well know about my serious love of sandwiches. Like Joey from Friends, I find them irresistible. Anything tastes better wedged between two pieces of bread. Of course, I wouldn't put just anything on one of my sandwiches. It's a fine art.
Tonight's sandwiches: Roast beef with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, arugula, thinly sliced red onion, mayo and horseradish Dijon mustard on a roll. With a side of Kettle Chips. So great with my rum and coke.
For dessert, rainbow sherbet, and a sampling of gluten free cupcakes. Why the cupcakes? I helped my friend Mary on Friday morning. She owns Dolci di Maria: gluten free cupcakes, muffins, cakes, tarts and brownies. Gluten free desserts do not have a reputation for being delicious; these are. I helped her mix up some dry cupcake mixes, made up some boxes and bags, and assisted her while she baked the extra special chocolate pear cake that's served at The Corner Kitchen. (We both agree that Corner Kitchen is about the best restaurant in town.) Then she showed me how to ice cupcakes, exclaiming about what a great job I was doing. And sent me home with half a dozen "rejects" to share with the family.
I'll get them perfect next time.
