Pizza Night

A long week and a particularly tough Friday combined with ladypant's new job called for a celebration in the form of pizza night. The crust was a standard french bread recipe with the addition of olive oil and about half the yeast.  The toppings were mushrooms, caramelized onions, blue cheese and mozzarella cheese. One pizza had homemade pesto for the sauce, the other had tomatoes instead.  Only the tomato pizza got photographed. The pesto pizza was gone before a photo could be taken.


Filet Minion

Sometimes simple is overrated.  Sometimes cheap is overrated too. So we splurged on filet minion.  I prepared it with a red wine reduction.  I served it with asparagus tossed in a red wine vinegarette. Everything was simple, yet delicious.
