Not these days, I don’t. My favorite pizza place is in Bali, and it’s not real easy to get to these days. Normally it would be a 90 minute flight away.

we have chicken sausages for grilling and they’re not going on pizza :-)
I am not a fan of the CPK chicken pizza. |

Seriously, the guy must spend all his time cooking.
Last night I made pesto for the first time! It was delish! We were watching Queer Eye last week and one of the recipes that Antoni taught the makeover person to make was pesto pasta with pickled grapes. It sounded good, and it was really good. In the cuisinart I put waaay too much garlic, basil, romano cheese, and pine nuts I'd toasted in a pan, then added olive oil and lemon juice. Served with orecchiete and sauteed chicken thighs, and red seedless grapes I'd soaked in some balsamic for 20 mins. And some alvarinho. It was great. |
Dining out at one of the best restaurants in Chapel Hill:

I had a large taqueria luncheon today so might skip supper and just have an ice cream cone for dessert. I’m soooooo full. |
I guess this will end up subbing for dinner . One of my neighbors does an awesome Friday night concert every week. Most times i have a friend over to sit on my front yard spaced 6 ft away. I make separate snack trays for us. Tonight is grilled shrimp, tortilla chips,.guacamole , pineapple salsa (jarred from TJ) ....i made pineapple/basil Margaritas for us.
ETA: half box of Tagalongs from the freezer. |
I was indeed too full for a normal supper:
nectarine organic mango 2 freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies lots of iced water

Last night at one of my favorite restaurants:
Cocktail: Tanqueray & tonic Appetizer: Crawfish, sun dried tomatoes, leeks, manchego, brandy cream sauce over a crepe. Main: crispy leg of duck confit and roasted breast slices over roasted mushroom choucroute with a Riesling reduction & roasted potatoes & shallots. Wine: New Zealand Pinot noir Dessert: A fabulous Creme Brûlée topped with fresh blueberries First time the restaurant was open for sit down dinner. It was only a soft opening with four tables invited. Only two people/table. |
I'm enjoying leftover ground turkey mixed with seasonings, a touch of lemon and feta, shaped into slider-size patties, grilled and served on brioche rolls with mayo, garlic and chives. I paired that with a bag of Green Giant broccoli with cheese sauce, and I'm trying to keep from eating the entire bag of broccoli in one sitting.
I'm also enjoying a beer with dinner. |

this is a lot for one’s supper! Enjoy enjoy.
Tonight will be pizza and salad. Debating whether to indulge the kids request for Round Table or if we try one of the more artisan places near us. |

Indeed, there was plenty for dinner for the four of us, and lunch again today.

I loved Round Table in the 80s and maybe once or twice in the 90s but there’s no way I would choose it over almost any other pizza spot. The only pizza chain I would allow is Lou Malnattis in Chicagoland. Everytime I choose what our child wants is because there’s a huge benefit for me, like how our child requested the fridge with the door dispenser, which is so perfect for me.

sounds great - was it a prix fixe or could the 4 tables choose from a menu? |
