2. Chicken pot pie

There's a potluck picnic after church tomorrow, so today was a cooking marathon. I cooked a very large bone-in chicken breast in my Instant Pot. Some of the chicken was for tonight's pot pie, the rest was for chicken salad with cherries. Grapes in chicken salad is not uncommon, I thought why not cherries, since they're in season?

I also prepped the components of a spicy watermelon and pineapple salad, to assemble tomorrow. I had already cut up the watermelon, and had store-bought cut up pineapple. Here's a gift link to the recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020374-spicy-watermelon-salad-with-pineapple-and-lime?unlocked_article_code=1.z00.ZFDQ.bnHS7uyeH2eO&smid=share-url

In my freezer I had yellow cupcakes, so I made a chocolate buttercream and frosted them.

I used a ready made crust for the pot pie. There are plenty of vegetables in the pie, but if we have room for dessert, there's leftover apricot-cherry crisp from yesterday.

My son just told me that Italy and Albania were playing soccer earlier. To taunt the Italians, the Albanians were taking fistfuls of spaghetti and breaking them in half
