1. Leftover stew.

Which I've always found kinda bland, since the housemate doesn't like spice, so I've taken to dusting mine with a seasoning mix our butcher sells as a rub to kick it up a bit.

2. Out to celebrate my Mexican Residente Temporal!

Went into the Immigration office today after receiving a letter that was very unclear (at least to me) whether I was in trouble or whether i had been approved.

Approved!

Fingerprinted, which is the last step. Should have my care in about 1 week.

Could not be happier.

So it's out to eat for me tonight.

9. Why not? Pizza is good.

[cbayer]

14. I know but it seems wrong to celebrate with italian food…..

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. Nothing wrong with it unless the pizza is bad.

6. Deep dish recipe for cbayer?

She asked me for one yesterday, but I though you might have a good one for her.

7. Deep-dish pizza? It's very easy.

I use Trader Joe's pizza dough in a big pie dish. Drain a 14.5-ounce can of chopped tomatoes, to which I add oregano. Top that with sausage, then mozzarella. Bake at 350 until it's done, usually about 1/2 hour.

Hope that works.

10. OK, trying to remember

It's been a while since I did it in a cast iron pan. I seem to remember that my old roommate put the mozz on the bottom, followed by everything else. Does it matter?

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. I suppose it doesn't matter.

I just like it on top.

[Galileo126]

12. OK, thanks Auntie!! -nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. You're welcome!

[cbayer]

15. I think you have given me this before, but I forgot.

Will have to make my own dough, but I can do that.

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. I suppose I should do that, too, but the TJ's is so easy!

And the triplets' father (who is a chef) uses the TJ dough at home.

[cbayer]

18. Oh, don't get me wrong.

If I could get it, I would use it, but I can't.

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. I know that you don't have that option.

They make really good crusts and they're cheap.

5. Leftovers of various kinds

Cleaning out the fridge of anything still edible in Tupperware. I'm running out of containers!

So, looks like a beef taco, a chicken taco, and a veggie taco. That should clear out 3 containers, anyway.

20. Just bought off the boat shrimp. $6.00/lb. Large, heads off.

Shrimp de Jonhge.
Baked spud & a salad.
Made some bleu cheese butter for the spud.

[pinto]

22. Boiled white new potatoes, red onions, radishes, celery, garlic and, oh yeah -

BBQ tri-tip! Gravy over all.
