I absolutely needed a break today from the real world so I took the T out of Boston into Chestnut Hill and spent the day at my friend Zoe's house making DELICIOUS food because both of us needed pick-me-ups. We made amazing amazing food that I unfortunately don't have the recipes for.. also, she translated one of the recipes from Hebrew to English (...wish I could do that) so I don't know if I'd even be able to write it down correctly.
The first thing we made I thought sounded so strange.. watermelon feta salad? With olives? There's no way that could be good, right? Wrong. Incredible. The juicy watermelon mixed perfectly with the salty olives and creamy feta. Will be making this 10 times again before watermelon goes out of season.
Next we were in the mood for tomatoes so we made delicious puff pastry tomato basil tarts that came directly out of Ina Garten's cookbook. Needless to say they melted in our mouths.
The finale came and went TOO fast. Sweet potato pancakes. With sour cream and (EXTRA) chive dip. The pancakes were on the salty side so we had sliced cucumbers and tomatoes to cool them down. The combination was probably one of the best I've ever had. These are some of the most special things I've ever tasted.
After we stuffed ourselves we sat on Zoe's back patio and pretended to be back in Israel.
