I took a half day on Friday and I have Monday off so let's get blogging!
Chris took over at the grill. I had made the Chimmichuri Sauce earlier in the day.
I did not have fresh oregano and could not find it at the store (!!!) so I substituted some dried oregano and added in some fresh thyme and basil from the plants on the deck. Not bad. First time making Chimmichuri Sauce and I liked the results.
For a side dish I made a Summer Vegetable Tian. I found the recipe on 12 Tomatoes.
I loved this recipe. But of course I cut too many veggies and potatoes so I ended up making a frittatta for either later in the week or I could use it for a couple of lunches.
And just because it was a Saturday night we opened a bottle of wine. Montepulciano D'Abruzzo DOC 2012. I would say it was a nice wine pairing.
And than there was dessert. I went to Bishop's yesterday and the peaches were on sale. I could not resist. Blueberries were on sale at Stop & Shop so I made a Peach & Blueberry Thyme Galette. I found this recipe on Food 52. I added the blueberries because I love Blueberry Peach Pie. I use to bake pies and sold them to local restaurants. The Blueberry Peach was always my favorite. This pie was delicious. The Thyme and Honey was a nice addition. It was just a hint of Thyme. The crust was a little different from my usual recipe. I liked the dough. It was very easy to work with.
I always think of my Dad when I eat pie. He would have probably said it was not sweet enough and needed Vanilla Ice Cream. I would have to agree at least on the Vanilla Ice Cream.
