It’s the Weekend; Please Sunday Responsibly

If you’ve lost track of the Awan Brothers scandal matter you can get caught up with Luke Rosiak, Investigative Reporter. He’s been following the story for the Daily Caller since it broke last February and the MSM first began ignoring it. Even though it contains all the elements of a great conspiracy plot: collusion, corruption, money laundering, ties to terrorists it was not deemed appropriate material for public consumption so therefore it was replaced by the far more compelling (for the MSM) Russia! Russia! Russia! meme.

In saner times I’m fairly sure this story would have been a dog whistle.

I guess it gives us something to look forward to now that the dog days of summer are about to descend on us.

But assuming you’d be sick of all this crap even if it weren’t summer, let’s do food. This is more of a concept than a recipe, but it’s one of my favorite summer sauces. It’s good on everything: crudités, bread dipper, pita chips, new potatoes - hot or cold, green salads, etc..

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

1 ½  c. sour cream

1-3 tbls. roasted red pepper puree: roast your own or use jarred, well drained,  enough to make the sauce a nice pink color

Roasted-red-pepper-dip-2

2 tbls. grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil, chopped

A dash of cayenne to taste – or you can skip altogether

Salt to taste

 

Combine all ingredients and allow flavors to blend for at least an hour in the frig. Garnish with a basil sprig before serving.

Easy, peasy. I stole this idea from the world famous Zingerman’s in the People’s Republic of Ann Arbor where they used to sell this stuff for about $15 a pound. That tells you everything you need to know about Zingermans. And Ann Arbor.

It should look something like this:

Now get out there and Sunday responsibly.
