Weekend(s) Update

Two weekends ago, tom and katie took us in their plane to Half Moon Bay for lunch. How posh, right??

Last weekend, Dave and I went to Pismo Beach to experience Splash!'s clam chowder. It was pretty good.

 Boo-san came along with us. He enjoyed walking on the boardwalk, by the ocean, and the car ride.

What's for Dinner?

I feel like we must eat pizza a lot since a lot of my What's for Dinner posts include pictures of pizzas... What makes this pizza different is its almost 100% organic ingredients. I made the tomato sauce from the tomatoes from our garden (Big Beef variety), the basil is from the garden, and the cherry tomatoes (Sunkiss Sweet variety) are also organically grown by Amy and I. The dough was homemade - Wrigley "Secret" Pizza Pi Recipe - and the cheese I bought.

Another organic item was homemade french fries made with potatoes from our garden. We used canola oil. They turned out to be basically exactly the same as In-and-Out fries. We refroze some fried ones and will attempt to refry them to make crispier fast-food style fries.

 And once you've got the oil hot, what ELSE can you fry? We tried left over pizza dough. Basically came out like garlic knots. We sprinkled them with powdered sugar to make them dessert-like. If we fried dough again, we would try a different recipe because let's face it - pizza dough with powdered sugar isn't the best. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't wholly satisfying either.

Any suggestions for what to fry next??
