Afternoon snack: Soft serve ice cream dipped in chocolate. Hello, 4th grade, I missed you. At Lake Anza. Shared with Tessa, and a lot of it dripped on my leg.
Dinner: A serious stroke of brilliance, though this experiment still needs some work. Chicken saltimbocca pizza. Caramelized an onion, with white wine and some lemon juice towards the end. Used that as the base of the pizza, then added the last of the leftover chicken, along with some prosciutto. Topped with grueyere cheese and sage. We ate it with a kale salad with a dressing of lemon juice, lemon zest, and olive oil. While we were eating, we decided that the kale salad was just what the pizza needed on top. Might experiment with this, or might add the kale before baking.
Dessert: Tessa and Suzanne made mint chocolate cupcakes with mint frosting. Awesome! I had two.
