Poor little Sasha. She just moved into a new apartment and her cable has not been set up yet, putting her in a dire situation when it came to watching last night's Gossip Girl season premiere. I couldn't leave a girl hangin, so I invited her over to watch our favorite Upper East Siders and eat a Gossip Girl inspired menu:
- Gossip Girl'd Cheese: (Girl'd Cheese...grilled cheese...get it?!) Made with Vermont white cheddar and mini-sized for a little app
- Upper East Sliders: Mini crab cake sliders
- Chuck [Sea] Bass Tacos: served with pico de gallo, tropical salsa, avocado, and cotija cheese (the Mexican cotija was a good touch)
- Since I don't bake, dessert came with help from the store: Mini French fruit tarts (correlating to the season opener's Paris setting)
I made tons of food - way too much for two people, but I couldn't help myself! Once I thought of all those puns, I had to cook all of them. No matter, Sasha took some home for her roomies, and I still have leftovers to take me through the rest of the week. AND in a rare victory, all the food was ready at the same time and just in time for the show to start. Major success. A good meal was the perfect compliment to the premiere and a great way to say "welcome back" to some of my favorite characters on TV.
