I was planning to impose “Leftover Night” on my wife and son when late in the game my wife says “Pizza Please? And leftovers tomorrow?”
This is ATK’s 1-hour pizza dough. Pretty good. It’s square-ish because I spread the dough too far and it would have draped over the stone (need to get a big steel!). So i rolled the two sides up with some torn up chunks of fresh mozzarella).
My “breakfast” was at 5pm so a pre-podcast dinner wasn’t in the cards.
Instead I whipped up a late-ish meal of tagliatelle all’aglio, peperoncino e gamberi with a few frozen shrimp, half of the last ‘clove’ of that ginormous garlic, and just one bird pepper tonight, tankyouberrymuch Buncha parsley cuz it needed used.
And bc I felt that tomatoes and avocado in the caprese weren’t enough veg content for our meal, I also grabbed some arugula & made a salad with shaved pecorino tossed with a very simple dressing of lemon oil, lemon juice, salt & lotsa black pepper
Fresh sea bass with hibiscus pickled onions and Peruvian style green sauce. I like to use hibiscus for the vibrant pink color it imparts. Served with Grillo’s Pickle de Gallo (Grillo’s are our new favorite store-bought pickles) and avocado and cucumber salad. The salad is very simple to make (cucumber, smashed avocado, lime juice and hot sauce to taste) but is one of those things where the sum is greater than the pieces.
Arugula salad with canned tuna, various pickled and fresh vegetables and some Bulgarian feta. Ate it straight out of the SS mixing bowl like an animale
Thats my DH favorite way to finish a salad, right out of the SS bowl!

I agree (also @MsBean). Most of y’all are so much better than I am with photography. So many of the photos here in “Dinner” or in “Baking” or “Lunch” are sooooo top notch. Good stuff.
Frankly, that’s one of the big reasons that I keep coming back to all these threads.
Thank you. To be honest there are many dinners that don’t make it here because I forget to take a picture or the meal is not photogenic so I don’t bother posting.
I’m a bit of a dork and take photos of most of my meals, some make it and some don’t. Good lighting play a big role as to whether I post them or not and the iPhone 14 has a nice camera as well.
My biggest impediment is timing. I usually plate my dinner after the rest of the family so that by the time I’m done taking pictures they’re done eating.
* I don’t drink much white wine, so I picked up some single-serving bottles of Sutter Hom. It was just the right amount and the flavor worked out very well.
so a pre-podcast dinner wasn’t in the cards.
