10 July 2020 - Plague Journal Day 120

Micah 6:8
Psalm 119:102-105
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

Friday is a good day for dessert, no? If you didn't have a chance to make that beef tenderloin on the grill yesterday (you did read my post yesterday, didn't you?), then maybe today would be a good day to do that.
Why not fire up the grill, roast that nice tenderloin, maybe a few potatoes and some asparagus (those are both great on the grill, you know), and then you can whip up a quick dessert afterward on the residual coals.
What dessert can you make on the grill? I'm glad you asked. Have you ever had grilled angel food cake? If you have, you're ready to have it again. If you haven't, it's high time you joined the cool kids and get with the program, so to speak.
It's really quite simple. Take a store-bought angel food cake (I assume it's possible to make them at home, but I've never had the inclination, I guess) and cut it into eight (8) wedges. Spray them with a little cooking spray and place them on the grill cut side down. (Yes, there are two cut sides - we'll get to that shortly.)
Once the first side has toasted - don't let it char! - flip to the other cut side for a similar amount of time and toasted-ness. That's it - unless you want to toast one of the other sides, but that's probably more heat than that little piece of cake wants to take. Remove from the grill and serve on a dessert plate.
Ideally you'll have some homemade black raspberry sauce and whipped cream to adorn the cake, but any sauce (even chocolate syrup) will work. Once you've done this, you won't really want the original, un-grilled version anymore.
You're welcome.


Oh, and be careful not to step on a bee!

Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
