I spent about an hour and a half finishing off the book that I've been reading. I would have preferred to be at a nice outdoor cafe, but the weather was gloomy and it would have been much too cold to sit outside.
Afterwards, I did some grocery shopping and then headed home.
That's right...I was in the mood for pizza again tonight.
I got out some Old El Paso wholegrain tortillas and prepared all the ingredients.I made four different pizzas. I spread some tomato paste on all the tortilla bases and sprinkled grated mozzarella on them, except for the margarita.
chicken
mushroom
red capsicum
chicken
pineapple
BBQ sauce
red onion
rocket
roasted pumpkin
pinenuts
balsamic dressing
I baked the pizza base with cheese (normally I would have used goats fetta but Jocelyn wanted mozzarella) with the other pizzas and then just before serving, arranged the fresh rocket and pumpkin pieces that I had roasted while preparing the pizzas. I also sprinkled on some pinenuts and drizzled the pizza with dressing - olive oil and balsamic vinegar that I whisked together.
rocket
fresh tomato
bocconcini
I didn't have enough fresh basil so I used rocket instead. Yum!
Jocelyn, David and I sat around the kitchen bench sharing them. I washed it all down with a beer. A really healthy and light meal. I say 'meal' because this was really just a warm up for me. I had dinner planned...
Lemon Grass & Chilli Noodle Soup with Beef & Pork
I boiled some water in a pot and threw in a stalk of lemon grass and a tea filter bag containing some dried shrimp and star anise. I also added some dried chilli flakes and Vegeta stock. Once the soup had simmered for about ten minutes, I added some frozen beef balls and cooked sliced pork belly that was leftover from what Mum cooked yesterday. I cooked the Vietnamese rice noodles separately. Served it all up with some bean sprouts, sliced onion, deepfried shallots, pepper, fresh coriander and chilli.
