Friend just made me homemade enchiladas. A new receipe comprised of fresh spinach, chicken, 4 groovy cheeses baked with green sauce and green onions....awesome. Side dish, mixed lettuce salad with strawberries, mandarin oranges, toasted top ramen and slivered almonds annointed with Chinese Chix Salad Dressing. Stellar. :D

Last night was Pizza Night.


I'm thinking tonight will be Lasagna Night. I made a big batch of spaghetti sauce last week, and I'm getting tired of eating it over pasta.

Thanks, Tami.

It was simple, too.

I used Pilsbury DoughBoy Crouissant dough for the crust. I got two tubes, intending to make a 14" pizza, but the more I rolled out the dough, the more it wanted to contract. So I used the ten-inch oven instead.

I'll use pizza crust next time. If I could make dough that doesn't end up hard as a rock crust, pizza would be cheap eating.


I remembered to oil the oven this time.

I found out speghetti sauce, even the thick meat-sauce I make, works fine as pizza sauce. Better than anything else I've used. Good thing, because I still have a bucket full of it in the fridge.

Right now I do !

I made a big batch of spaghetti sauce a while back, and I've been eating some of it almost every meal since.

The Dutch Oven meals were the only ones worth taking pictures of.

( the Italian Omlettes were pretty good, so were the Spaghetti Sandwiches in Pita Bread )

Or, Chicken apple sausage with pasta and Alfredo sauce..
Can't make up my mind.

Both sound great TGT, I'd go with the Chinese sausage since I've never tasted it before.

I haven't really cooked in a long time. Used to be pretty good at it. Maybe I'll come out of hibernation. But if you cook it you have to eat it, then you have to exercise to get rid of it.

Maybe a can of tuna, lettuce and tomatoes tonight with olive oil and lemon pepper seasoning. :D

I fell for buying one of the megapacks at Sams. I've had it before at REAL Chinese restaurants and it's really good.

What I didn't realize it is treated as a spice, not a meat dish.

I think I have enough to supply Goudong Provence for a week.

Chaz, that Dutch oven looks divine!
Here we marinated chopped up leg of lamb in an Indian curry-vinegar mix, stewed it in an onion-garlic-ginger paste, and devoured it with a bottle of Chilean wine. Sort of an Old World-New World fusion.

OK!

Mountain trips---something to eat.

River trips---gourmet feasts.

In 2006, due to a unplanned logjam, our small group got an extra-night on the coveted Middle Fork Salmon.

Since two members had to fly out to meet business obligations: we did not quite starve on our 8 NIGHT 9 DAY MIDDLE FORK FLOAT!

Steve W.: Heidi becomes "The Princess Heidi" on river trips.

She rows Class IV, but demands a solar shower and clean clothes at the end of the day.

There was some "suffering" upstream on this trip. We had to portage the rafts and all the food, liquor, ice, and crap---------yes we did also have to also portage our required "porta-potty" and its load of crap: 1 & 1/2 miles around an unplanned thunderstorm-induced logjam.

Here's a little bit more on the logjam and portage:from a river-running thread on ST this spring.

Three Dollar Pizza! ( about $2.85, actually )


Made my own crust this time, which cut a couple bucks off the cost. Was simple, too. Used active dry yeast and did the let-it-rise-and-punch-it-down-a-couple-times thing. One yeast batch made two pizza crusts.

The sauce is leftover spaghetti sauce I made last week ( I priced it at $1 for my pizza cost calculation [$40 for 2 1/2 gallons of spaghetti sauce = $1/cup ] )

The crust fit my 14" D.O. fine.

It took an hour to cook though, because I was too timid to put enough heat on the underside of the D.O. Next time ( which will be soon, I have a dough in the 'fridge ready-to-go already ), I'll try 12 coals on the bottom, up from eight, to see what happens.

The best part? I'm getting two meals out of The Three Dollar Pizza!

The Three Dollar Pizza, Mk-III ( I think I got a RECIPE worked up )


Crust is your basic stock-parts pizza crust, which will make enough dough for two 14" Dutch Oven pizzas. ( 2 1/2 cups flour, one .25oz pack active dry yeast, 1 cup water - heated to 115*F, salt ) Pepper, onion and garlic powder customize the crust to my specs.

There's pepperoni and chopped bacon under the cheese. Homemade spaghetti sauce for the sauce. Mozzarrella, Parmesian, and Colby Longhorn are the cheeses.

I did brush a heavy coat of Olive Oil on the dough after it was pressed into the Dutch Oven, before I applied any of the toppings. I believe the olive oil prevents the toppings from fouling the crust.

I cooked the whole works together for about a half-hour,( 14 briquettes on the bottom, 40 on top ), turning both the lid and the oven itself 90* every five minutes, or so, to get what we see here.

F*#king delicious. This is at least tied for the best pizza I've ever eaten, and there are a number of ways I think I can make it even better!

The second half will taste even better tomorrow!

Did I mention the whole damn thing cost me about three dollars?

Focaccia bread, fresh out of the Dutch Oven ( 12" ).


A simple recipe I pulled right off the web - I went down the list and stopped at the first recipe built around one packet of yeast. I had to spice it up with few herbs, like rosemary, basil and thyme to make it a little more interesting.

I made this to go with a leftover lasagne, but it looks like this is dinner. This, and some olive oil and balsamic vinegar. And a nice cabernet from Chateau Chuck.

Pizza night. Macaroni & Cheese Pizza, modified from a recipe I found on the web.

14" Dutch oven.

Regular, all-purpose Pizza Dough ( 1 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup 110* water, two teaspoons sugar, 1 1/8 teaspoon yeast - which is the same as 1/2 packet, two teaspoons salt, 1 tablespon oil )


Brush melted butter abound the edge of the dough, then toss on a handfull or two of shredded Mozzarrella.


Dribble a few spoons of Crema Mexicana on top of the Mozzarrella.


Then dump 1 cup ( before cooking ) of cooked macaroni. I cooked the macaroni a good minute past the recomended maximum time, to help avoid drying while it cooked.


Then cook.


After a half-hour, I threw a handfull of regular Cheddar Cheese on the macaroni, then let it cook for another ten minutes.

It ended up looking like this:


Makes a 12" pizza.



Total cost: $2.25 max. I'm getting two meals out of it. Eat like a pig for a dollar or two a day!
