Yep, the day is young and I along with my bud Carolyn have had a most productive morning. We had breakfast at Taylors'; I had yummy French toast and she had a gorgeous looking omelet. Then we came back to my house and produced 16 more half pints of Palm Berry jelly. Then one of my children, aka former students, came by with her two sons, Charles Jr and Daniel, and her partner Charles Sr. We had a great visit and bought 15 lbs of shrimp for an awesome price. He headed them for us and then tossed in a dozen of the biggest shrimp I have seen in a long time as lunch. Meanwhile the boys toddled/crawled all over everything! Too fun to see her effortless deal with taking things away while never missing a beat of the conversation! A very relaxed, good mom who never missed a thing they did!
When they left, Carolyn and I were both still stuffed from breakfast, after we bagged and vacuum sealed the shrimp into smaller portions, we decided to freeze the "bigguns" for next week's wine and bread evening. Yesterday we decreed that at least once a week this summer we would create pizza or some sort of flat bread creation to accompany wine. We were starving yesterday and by the time lft came home from work, we were both stuffing our face with a crunchy thin crust pizza slicked with olive oil, Kalamari olives and feta cheese. Oh yum! We had kindly left him half of his very own. He cheated and added a layer of fresh mozzarella to his! The only thing that could have made it better was 60 seconds under the broiler. Oh bliss!
My couch is calling! Later.
Easy Flatbread recipe:
ReplyDeleteStore bought Flat bread or Cooked Pizza Crust
Boursin Cheese (a spreadable herbed farmers cheese)
Fresh Basil, Tomatoes, or any vegetable topping of your choice
Pop it under the broiler or in a hot oven until the cheese is melted & veggies are warmed through. Absolutely Delicious & easy!
I will have to remember to share my boursin recipe with you! yummy!
