Now let’s add in a few more pieces. Ask any socially aware middle-schooler, and they will tell you that it’s totally socially off to not go away as a family at any time that there’s a lull in scheduling. Then add in your own desire to bring the family together and plan an amazing, unforgettable, family-bonding trip. But this mother here works, and while I’ve always been a heat-loving, sun-loving, trip-loving summer girl, my current luxury is sitting outside savoring the silence like it’s a melting ice cream cone.
I know this is a long kvetch (disguising it didn’t work, so I’m just going to go with it), I really savor the summer and don’t want it to end, even if it means I’m pulled in every direction. There’s something about the everything-goes summer attitude that just makes things okay, even if they wouldn’t be okay year-round.
For this week’s recipes, I wanted to catch this attitude and put it on paper. Mr. Yussi Weisz swoops in with four fun and delicious things to do with fries that’ll have you forgetting all your to-do lists and people to get back to, and thinking that this summer vibe will last forever.
