Actually, since the oven's going to be on, maybe I'll do scalloped or au gratin.

So do I.

I just made and put up a Marinara SAUCE. Later on I'll boil some angel hair, grill some shrimps and put them in with the angel hair marinara. I'm also going to make the kids some Mozzarella Carozza as they've been asking me to make it for them for about a week now.

At least it's not from the Hudson River

You know people actually crab and fish in the Back River here.

That probably wouldn't mean much except that's where the sewage treatment plant is.

I know people who still fish in the Hudson. I guess they think they're getting something special when they catch a fish with three eyes.

I made pizzas tonight. I gave up cheese for Lent, so I made kind of a Pizza Puttanesca, with fresh tomato, garlic, anchovies, calamata olives and capers, then drizzled with a little Colavita olive oil. I gotta say, It was outrageous.

Sounds great, PB.

The pork roast came out nice and juicy. I ended up cubing some potatoes, seasoning them and just letting them brown in the oven. I also had some nice fresh cauliflower.

That sounds good. Don't know if I could do a pizza without cheese though. To me that's sacrilegious.

I LOVE cauliflower. After I steam it, I like to top it off with toasted bread crumbs, grated cheese, garlic and olive oil, then stick it under the broiler for color.

About a year and a half ago I began seeing a lot of people, especially oriental people, fishing in the Hudson outside of my old building. I heard that the fish were starting to come back into the Hudson again. Not that I would fish there myself or knowingly eat a fish from there.

I shoulda taken a photo.

Sounds like the fish that comes out of Lake Erie.

That's a pretty impressive recipe. You truly are a Renaissance man.

First off, whore pizza ...w/o cheese?

I don't think that's considered pizza any more

Secondly...
You love it so much that you have to cover it up with all those ingredients? It does sound great, don't get me wrong -- but if you love it, just eat it.

I do. I love it raw best. Or steamed, w/o the "extras" most of the time

I hate to admit it, but I made sausage and peppers again.

Its so damned good.

The deli near my office makes great sausage and peppers. For $4.50, you get a lovely mix of sausage, peppers and onions on a club roll. They even throw in a little bag of chips. How do you say no to that??

Had Lucerzia for dinner last night with my wife.

I got the meat special #2 (different specials every day) which was a 4oz filet, italian sausage, and chicken. Roasted potatoes and veggies. Absolutely wonderful. $20.

and 2 lemon vodka tonics...

Pigs in blankets, 3 different dipping mustards to mix it up, (I'm crazy like that) and potato latkes... yes, all frozen appetizer foods since I was in sit-downs in south jersey all day and just wanted to come home to some guilty pleasures and not have to cook... did i mention the Peroni Beer & Godiva Martinis? Oh, i didnt.. in that case, add a few watermelon martinis to that as well (-;

...and you don't call me? I see how it is.

Friday is takeout night in my house, and that's become quite the challenge for Lent. I think our only choices are pizza or Chinese. What to do??

Shrimp and broccoli, vegetable fried rice, egg drop soup.

On my way home from work on Fridays when I'm in the Scranton office, I stop at this neighborhood bar in the small town of Dupont to pick up pizza to bring home. It's near where my in-laws live, and the pizza is quite unigue. It's square, but not Sicilian, with a hearty mixture of cheese. It's sold on evenings from Wednesday to Saturday. The place is always busy, especially at Lent, and the old Polish women, who work in the kitchen, which you have to enter to pick up the pizza, are always complaining.

It's really not the prettiest looking pizza, but it is delicious. That's on the menu tonight at our house.

I'm betting that maybe MaryCas or his wife has heard of this place, Cebula's.

Some of the best pizzas I've ever had weren't that pretty. The fancy educated folks call it "rustic."

Grandma pizza??

They had the meat special again today, so I got that and cream of roasted yellow peppers soup with spinach and carrots and chicken breasts. Holy fuck it was awesome soup. I got 2 orders to go!

Spent $100 on lunch today.

Jesus!

I hope it was worth it

Well worth it!
