Lazy Gourmet
While recently planning for upcoming classes and events primarily focused on Holiday Appetizers, it occurred to me how truly lazy I am. I have looked through hundreds of recipes and picked the brains of professionals and friends looking for what I was thinking were the best recipes, but suddenly realized, I was actually looking for the easiest! I think in my defense, though, that throughout the years, I’ve always been able to impress people with my easy food. In other words, it really doesn’t have to take all day and all kinds of ingredients to make finger foods taste good. In fact, I can’t think of too many fancy “canapés” etc. that I was ever that impressed w ith. If it looks too pretty, I can almost bet that I’m going to be disappointed in the taste. But, isn’t that what it’s all about? Taste is a good thing.One thing I’ve been making a lot of lately are stuffed mushrooms. I just brown a pound of Italian sausage, stir in 8 oz. of cream cheese until mixed well. Spoon that into the mushroom caps and bake for about 25 minutes at 375. Everyone loves them!

Holiday Weekend
What are you doing this weekend?
I’m going to the WEBN fireworks. You might be concerned that its such a large crowd, but it is handled very well. For several years now, I’ve gone down midafternoon with a few friends, we toss our blanket on the ground and stake out our spot. Then we sit and play Euchre all afternoon. It’s such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, especially if you have great friends like I do. Going down early enables us to park close before the street closings. There are bands playing throughout the day and vendors selling food and drink. You’ll want to check out the rules set for the event so you know what you can and cannot take. One thing I want to remember this year is my own radio and earphones so I can hear the music during the fireworks. Make sure you say hello if you see me down there.
So what are you doing this weekend?
You might want to visit the West Chester Farmers’ Market on The Square @ Union Centre? Every Saturday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. continues until Oct. 11th. Check it out. I got some delicious berries and ate like a queen. Felt really good to support our local farmers too.
So what are you doing this weekend?
I’d love to hear about your activity over the weekend. Did you have a family event? Did you travel? Did you try something new? Did you participate in a Labor Day picnic? Did you have some good food?
Share your story with me and I’ll post it next week. Let’s get to know each other.
Have a safe weekend,
Joanne
