All the cherries are now used, eaten, or frozen. Andy has been stirring cherry jam into nonfat plain yogurt to make cherry yogurt, which he swears is MUCH tastier than Yoplait--which is off limits. I prefer to think that he really believes this instead of just trying to make me feel good after 4 days of jam making.
Last night we were having a friend over to celebrate his new job, and we really wanted to grill on such a nice night, but we still haven't really mastered grilling chicken, and while hamburger is allowed, homemade rolls don't make the best buns, and hot dogs...well, I honestly haven't checked into them yet, but I'm going to bet there's at least a few things in them I wouldn't recognize, and the ones I would recognize are pretty repulsive.
I had tracked down an allowable sausage at Costco, and we were dying to show off our new mustard, so Andy made "pigs in a blanket" with them, using dough from the 5-minute bread book. We couldn't figure out a good way to grill them , so we just put them in the oven until they looked done (we do that a lot around here this year), then served them with the fabulous mustard and the homemade relish from last summer. They wouldn't have been a "normal" food choice for us, but there isn't much about our food this year that is "normal."

Real fruit in plain yogurt IS better than Yoplait! I have it every morning with a little homemade granola. Re hot dogs, some of my friends eat Not Dogs, but I have not tried them.
