I spent most of this weekend cooking.

Here are some things I made:

• Caprese sandwich
• Italian chopped sandwich
• Watermelon juice
• Cherry handpies
• Ham and cheese puffs

I wish I had taken some pictures, but I didn’t.

The name of the game was “foods of summer”: Tomatoes, basil, watermelon, balsamic, and cherries.

Puff pastry was a really nice shortcut to baked goods.

Watermelons juice so well, it’s insane.

I’m going through a real “sandwich” phase in my life.

I wish the weekend was longer so I could keep cooking.

I wish I liked cooking for other people as much as I like cooking for myself.

So long, June! Hello, July!
