We enjoyed another outstanding dinner at The Farmer’s Daughter in Newton, NJ, including jumbo lump crab meat and langoustine scampi; pumpkin ravioli with apple, sage butter, and pecans; apple, blue cheese, and honey crostini; petite filet mignon with white truffle hollandaise, cheesy grits, and green beans. It all went great with a couple of excellent red blends.

In keeping with my “wonky” or “rustic” theme, I present my lop-sided Pepperoni Pizza. I should have cut off the extra dough, but instead rolled it up, which made a HUGE chunk of crust.
I picked up this small pack of pepperoni slices at the Dollar Tree. They were OK, but I won’t buy them again. Sunshine loves pizza – so no complaints from her.

I wanted carbonara, but I was out of spaghetti. So, farfalle carbonara with previously sauteed chanterelles and a few pieces of leftover salmon.

Poker with the gang at our buddy’s place. His GF had baked a gorgeous loaf of bread, and we had a few slices straight out of the oven with salted butter. Crusty! Fluffy!
Main was a tomato rice with black cod and snapper. An abundance of garlic & a touch of heat.
I lost my buy-in ($10), but hanging with friends was totes worth it 
Hosting a YUGE potluck tonight, a bi-monthly-ish event for one of my local cooking groups. Can’t wait to see what’s on the menu!

Maybe next time, add some shredded mozzarella in a thin line before rolling up the edge, and you can have a stuffed crust pizza!

I like your idea… I should have cut it off and saved it for the morning.
Maybe roll it out thin, then add a little butter and cheese, bake it off & made Sunshine a cheesy breakfast crisp??

thank you! It was very loosely based on this recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi for potato pie.
I’ve made the dish as written before - lovely, but a little fussy for a weeknight. Since I never serve the dish turned out, I’ve learned to skip the lining of the pan (thus skipping the potato starch). Here I used leftover sauteed leeks which were not fully caramelized (but that is an excellent addition), and put a few tablespoons of brandy straight into the gratin, along with a little chicken stock. I also forget to hold back a little cheese for the top, and put the whole load into the gratin. No harm done, but the topping would have been nice.
Looking forward to leftovers!
