So Declan had a bit of an accident on Friday. He leads a Bible study every Friday night and plays basketball after with the guys. This was the result of basketball:
Yeah, he rolled his ankle pretty bad and had to deal with a bruised, sore, and swollen ankle all weekend long. But he managed quite fine on the dance floor during Erica’s cousin’s wedding! Anyway, today’s recipe has nothing to do with rolled ankles so don’t worry. We found this awesome recipe for a warm goat cheese potato salad in the NY Times. Erica’s friend from Maryland moved up to Pittsburgh recently and we welcomed her with some pulled pork and this potato salad as a side. She approved that it was blog worthy.

Do you add the dressing while the potatoes are warm?
Yes, it helps to melt the goat cheese into the dressing.
Sounds yummy! And, I can vouch for Declan’s awesome dance moves. Can’t wait to see how great he is with two good ankles 🙂
