I like Pizza
So, last night Fotalad came over for gaming. Not RPGs but cards. He bought a big bag of games (board and card) and we did not look at them. No, we are old school and we played with regular playing cards. Well, not that regular, Julie the Canadian left them with us and they are covered with Australian tourism advertising, a bit odd.
First we taught him Beanie and he totally won. He had half the points Beau and I did. Then he taught us Nazier (sp?) which I won, so haha!
Fotalad also came over for dinner. I made home-made pizzas for him, Beau and me and Voltron and V's gf. I did not take any photos (D'oh), but shall describe them for you.
Each pizza had a scone base. I used Anna's Grandmother's recipe, with salt. Her recipe makes enough for 2 bases. They also each had tomato puree spread on them and were cooked for about 15min at 180degC. They had different toppings though.
1) Marguerita style. Had almost a salsa of tomato, garlic and red onion, cooked with base, then slices of fresh mozzarella on top, back in the oven for melty, then fresh basil.
2) Parma ham, mushroom. Parmesan when taken out of oven.
3) "Mexican", had avocado, leftover salsa from the marguerita with spring onions added, shredded chicken, capsicum, grated cheddar cheese and some chilli powder. Mmm.
4) Our "meat" pizza, parma ham, pepperoni, chicken and tomato.
So good. We also had many other cheeses (haloumi, blue, brie, cream), so I could have done an all cheese pizza. However, these were more than plenty.
Since I knew I was having pizza for dinner, I had a less complex carbohydratey lunch:
Yup, that is Korean-style bean sprouts! I made it for my dinner the night before :)
I also did some baking this week. Cheese scones. Click on the pic for more info including my recipe.
As always check out my flickr for more pictures and information.
I am now full from delicious baked salmon made by Voltron's gf. She can visit any time :)
