Peach pizza.

This was an experiment gone right. Sliced peaches, Bulgarian feta and spring mix lettuce atop a balsamic vinegar/brown sugar glaze on a whole wheat crust. I thought it was really delicious, but would probably use a milder feta next time.

Grilled cheese sandwich.

Yes, that is a pool of cheese. Why go halfway when you can go all the way to your 2000 calorie intake limit? Joining the sharp cheddar are such notables as spicy brown mustard, sweet relish (I way prefer dill but I don't think we have any) and cracked black pepper, on whole wheat. Served with peaches.

Custard.

Problem: finding yourself with a lot of almost-expired milk. Solution: making custard. I won't pretend that I'm not an expert now. If making custard was a military activity, I would basically be a general at it. That's right....dairy AND combative pun.

This stuff is so good.

Chips & salsa + guacamole.

Today's entry is thanks to Kelly, my awesome boss. This chick is a genius with tomatillos and avocados, among countless other ingredients.

I'm not just saying that because she pays me.

Huevos rancheros.

Went to the beach and stopped at Pete's Breakfast House in Ventura on the way. If you like a tasty breakfast, this is a good place to go.

Garlic chicken pizza.

Garlic & Herb pizza dough (thanks, Trader Joe's) topped with a garlic bechamel, sauteed chicken, caramelized sweet onions and aged white cheddar.

A really choice combination.

Rigatoni alla Vecchia Bettola.

A rich, vodka and tomato-based sauce, tossed with plenty of oregano, parmesan cheese and pasta. Served with broccoli.

I imagine George Hamilton is pretty rich, which would be the second thing he has in common with this meal, along with color.
