SUNDAY I ATE
Breakfast: Pancakes (Tessa made them)
Lunch: Roast beef, blue cheese, lettuce, and hummus on a pita
Dinner: Deep dish Mediterranean chicken pizza from Little Star. Their pizza is good, but still not as good as Zacchary’s. While others rave about the cornmeal crust, I think it is too crumbly
Dessert: Leftover cherry pie with ice cream. It was definitely better after a day for the flavors to mellow

SATURDAY I ATE
Breakfast: Hot tea, french toast
Morning Snack: Iced tea
Lunch: Ham and hummus pita wrap with carrots and cucumber
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chips, coke zero
Dinner: Perhaps my best iteration yet of the blue cheese stuffed burgers. We used a different type of blue cheese, from Trader Joe’s, rather than from Costco, which have different melting strategies. But the best part was cooking them sous vide. This really works a treat for stuffed burgers. The patties are so thin, that on the grill, they distort the shape a lot and often leak cheese. In the sous vide at 136F, they were perfectly cooked. Add in a brioche bun from TJ’s, some corn on the cob, and oven baked potatoes and they were amazing.
Dessert: An experimental cherry pie. It was OK, but too much booze (kirsch) gave it a weird sour flavor.
