First of all, I ate another blood orange and a yogurt when I got home from work to tide me over until dinner. Here’s the orange. No picture of the yogurt.

Well, we ended up making pizza again because I had another crust in the freezer and it was quick AND he found a recipe for Sage-Butternut Squash Pizza.
Run on sentence.

I had these two pieces:

So I stopped at the grocery store on the way over and picked up ingredients. OH MY GOD I just realized I forgot kitty litter again. AH. Well I guess I’m going out tomorrow to get it…

I got to his house around 7:15 and of course, sat at the kitchen table and complained about work while he did the cooking. Sorry Andy. I always do that.

The pizza included marinara sauce, mozzarella, fresh sage, butternut squash(!), shallots and gorgonzola. Neither of us had ever had shallots before and I don’t think Andy ever had gorgonzola so it was a bit of an experiment. The pizza ended up turning out really well. At first the gorgonzola seemed like it would be overpowering but the flavors kind of melded together into goodness.

The recipe called for 4 ounces each of mozzarella and goat cheese but I decided against the goat cheese. Leave me to purchasing the ingredients and that’s how it goes.

Here’s the pizza.

Post-cook:

During/after dinner, we watched some weird show on the Create channel involving Mario Batali, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mark Bittman…, and a pretty Spanish lady traveling through Spain and eating. Then we watched 21. It was good. It kept us both entertained for the entire 2 hours which is somewhat rare. I was pleased. Andy seemed to be pleased. It was a nice, relaxing evening.

I’m tired now. Don’t worry, the weekend will get more exciting soon.

Goodnight all.
