What is a chess? The best explanation I could find is that its a traditional southern dessert...Not totally descriptive (my husband is still confused) but...It is what it is.
A cake is a cake.
A pie is a pie.
A chess is a chess.
I made a couple of salads too. One was 'for the kids' - noodles, corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, black olives, and cheddar cheese smothered in ranch dressing.
The other was a potato salad. I didn't want to boil the potatoes and make the standard mayo dressing - even though Chef Colicchio would tell me that "that's what keeps it fresh you know"...So I cubed the nyt-super-friske Danish potatoes and sauteed them in the stove top with olive oil, S&P, and oregano. They got just soft enough and browned. Then I let them cool on the counter before packing them up.
I have some paprika salad dressing spice packets, and I mixed one of those with some vegetable oil and balsamic vinegar, and packed that away separately. Before serving at the picnic I added the oil dressing, some chopped fresh red scallion onions (Danish and oh so beautiful), and lots of chopped parsley. I didn't reheat, but served it cold. This dish probably went the quickest.
