Foccacia pizza....using Panera's rosemary-onion focaccia, topped with
pesto, ricotta, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke
hearts, kalamata olives, carmelized onions, paremsan, and smoked
mozzarella. Wow, this stuff is GOOOOOOD!!

Served with a classic Italian-style salad of mixed lettuces, carrots,
green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, and croutons. Served with
semi-homemade ranch dressing. (Hidden Valley Ranch, but from a
packet,not the bottle.

Dessert: leftover apple-cranberry crisp with custard sauce.

A garbage pizza.

Well, this woulda cost $19.95 from the local pizza place, but the
toppings are a prety classic combo. As usual, your taste is in your
ass, so you think sun dried tomatoes, ricotta, and pesto are garbage.
Remind me to dumpster dive at your house.

Didn;t say the dressing was Italian, just the salad. I was pretending I
was a pizza place tonight. Same veggies they put in their salads.

No kidding, Shelly can read a calendar. Too bad you coulnd't read my
post yesterday, when I discovered half a pound of cranberries in the
freezer and decided to use them up i my dessert. Fruit crisp is good
any time of year. And it's reasonably healthy, as dessert goes.

But, I didn't espect you to say anything good about a gourmet dinner.
You'd be eating, what, chops, sausages, some kinda peasant food?

Are you KIDDING? Don't you know Sheldon only uses his dentures a couple
times a week? His typical dinner is strained peas, tuna "mousse" -- canned
tuna and mayo processed until it doesn't need to be chewed, spaghetti boiled
for half an hour, and applesauce.

Didn't feel like cooking tonight, so my girlfriend and I got Chinese
take-out: Singapore rice noodles, stir-fried Chinese greens and garlic, and
hot braised shrimp. I REALLY want the recipe for that shrimp dish; it's very
good and I've never seen a recipe for it.

soggy to some extent?

Sounds g-hood to me!

I made turkey stew with leftover turkey I roasted and had frozen before
our trip. Potatoes, carrots, carmelized onions, and Portobello
mushrooms - all simmered in the turkey broth from the roasted turkey.
Added some dried celery, garlic, onion powder, black pepper and
parsley. Was quite tasty! It will be lunch for the next couple of
days, too.
