As our economy spins out of control, we gratefully could partake of the incredible Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park – free, thanks to Warren Hellman. This post-show dinner reflects both the lack of time available for preparation as well as a “on the brink of a recession” mindset. Baked potatoes with Berkeley Farms sour cream (the best sour cream I have ever tasted) and Campbell’s Healthy Request Sirloin Burger soup were served along with a celery salad. Note: the sour cream and soup were bought at Walgreen’s. The deliciously fresh salad recipe came from high end Saveur Magazine – it was simple to prepare and cheap. A surprisingly good Kirkland (Costco house) brand Chardonnay accompanied our meal. For dessert, we enjoyed Peanut Butter (with chocolate chip) cookies, a wonderful recipe from
Food & Wine Magazine. Good music, good food and a wonderful husband are a great comfort in these unsettling times.
