Here we are having homemade Neapolitan pizza with Rao's marinara as sauce, homemade meatballs, mushrooms and fresh basil - kind of cleaning out the fridge of leftover stuff.
Made a lemon-basil panna cotta for dessert, with blueberry compote (compote being a fancy term for cooked fruits with a little honey and water).
Cheap Italian red for dinner, cheap French rose for aperitif (aperitif being a fancy word for what you get drunk on while cooking)

Have you used the Rao's sauce on pizza before? I love love it as a quick pasta.
I'm going to try to use a simple san marzano tomato sauce next time on our pizza (just the tomatoes, crushed, olive oil, herbs, simmer), but I'll use Rao's if it works well too.

No, I haven't, but I sauce pretty sparingly so it should work out ok. I don't like too much sauce on a pizza, or too much cheese for that matter. I want a crust you can taste and that is crisp on the bottom and edges but chewy inside.
The sauce and meatballs were left over from a pasta dinner last weekend. They needed to be used. The basil is getting kind of blinky and needed to be used too, as were the mushrooms.

That sounds awfully good, Xenon.
Banana smoothie and some mixed nuts here.
My life is a glorious cycle of song, no shit.

Ready for the oven. The cheese looks heavier than it actually is and my pizza shaping skills need work.

Cut some eggplant today and had a stale half-loaf of French bread, so it's eggplant casserole.
Waste not, want not

YUM, Mik!
Burgers, homegrown tomatoes, basil. Yes, put that basil on your tomato on your burger.

I like Long John’s batter. They used to have the greatest fried scallops back in the 70’s.

You and me, bud!
That's one of my favorites.
But I always like a few heaping spoonfuls of Kim-Chee.
Probably spelled it wrong. But really, once you down one bite, spelling is the least of worries, right? -

Panna cotta was not great last night, and the compote was not good. I think the blueberries were too old.
BUT - I took a bite and the other container of panna cotta is delicious this morning, if too much basil. Live and learn. Nothing ever seems to get enough lemon flavor for me. Going to buy some lemon extract for next time.

Had sushi this evening. Actually, more like a kim bop, so a seaweed roll with stuff in the center.
Easy, tasty, and (somewhat) healthy. LOL

I ate left over pizza and left over curry last night (clearing out the fridge). Dinner tonight will be lengua con platano (tongue with bananas) and pozole (type of stew) from this Afro-Mexican place we like to go to.

You would have to hog tie me and suspend me over a vat of acid and tell me the rest of my family would be thrown in after me to get me to eat a tongue.

From the book:
"they had become connoisseurs of reindeer...... They could tell an old bull from a calf from a yearling....... Eyelid fat and bone marrow were the finest of delicacies. As was gorr, a soup made from the contents of the deers stomach, rich in moss, mixed with meat, blood and water. Truth however, is that they were indiscriminate. They ate the heart, kidneys, liver, brain, larynx, tongue, tooth nerves, eyes, nose, every sliver of meat on the bones, and then the bones themselves. Other than the hooves, horns and pelts, nothing escaped their plates."
In taiwan, we eat some "weird" things, but the above is too much for me! LOL

I would, or will, too, once I run out of string cheese and tortilla chips.
Now Horace will call me fat, again.
Just Can't Win.
