When the Roediger House regulars came over last Friday night for supper and pool and hanging out on the third floor, it was the first time we'd gotten together inside the house in 14 months and a day. We are all vaccinated now, post-gestation, and it felt so good to have the crew back in the house once more. Sumner was very excited. I'd been out of town that week for work, so I kept supper simple: juicy burgers on the grill with chips and homemade potato salad.
Boy howdy, was it nice to get back to some pool playing!
Naturally, there had to be a dessert, and a long-time and oft-requested favorite seemed called for: chocolate eclair cake. Yum.
Adapted from "Juicy Burgers," originally from Pillsbury Classic Cookbooks recipe magazine, July 2003, p. 52-53. After Pillsbury was purchased in 2001 by General Mills, home of Betty Crocker (founded 100 years ago this year, mind you!), it basically ceased to exist as a company and lives on just as a brand. I guess that's why a Pillsbury cookbook recipe from 2003 is now only found on the Betty Crocker website.
Potato Salad loosely based on "Best Ever Potato Salad," by Michelle, who blogs at the BrownEyedBaker.com. [Published 06 June 2016]
