I really cooked again tonight. I haven't been doing much of that over the last six months to a year but we had a lot of food left over from Jessie(Susan's daughter)'s baby shower last Saturday. We wanted to use up as much as we could so, last Sunday, I made a calzone out of the leftover shrimp and feta cheese. I bought pizza dough, mozzarella cheese, and Kalamata Olives at the grocery store and put them all together at home. I'd never rolled out pizza dough before and I used all 4 cups of cheese. The calzone measured almost 1 1/2 feet and probably weighed more than a pound. It was very yummy!
This afternoon I used up more of the Feta along with some of the red wine. I bought mussels at a local seafood store and fresh basil at the local farmers' market. I took some jar sauce and added chopped baby portabella mushrooms, Feta cheese, fresh Basil, and Kalamata Olives. For myself, I steamed the mussels in the red wine and cooked up some sliced baby bellas and basil in olive oil for Steve and Susan. We each ate our fill over angel hair pasta. It was fabulous!
I had forgotten how much I like cooking and especially when working with fresh ingredients. Anyway, I'm really tired (so I'm not really proofreading this post) so I'll sign off now. :)
