Long weekend

All I wanted for my nice long weekend was some R & R. I wanted to read and relax. The only strenuous thing I had planned was going to the gym and cooking a few new dinner dishes.

So Friday night was Japanese Night. Holming made my favorite tuna tartare dish served in wonton cups with a bit of sashimi. And, I made his favorite dish Katsudon. Which is a bowl of rice topped with breaded pork cutlet and egg. I’ve never made it before but am now adding it to my favorite list too.



The next night we made pizza (of course from scratch!!). Now, we never eat pizza in the Lee house. I can count on one hand how many times we’ve had pizza in the 7 years we’ve been together. I decided it was time to start enjoying our own pizza. And yes, we made our own pizza dough….



….and pulled out our home-jarred tomatoes from last summer for the sauce….



Topped it with cheese, artichokes, red onions, black olives (on my half only) and sausage (handmade but, not by us….that’s our next project)



And voila! It was pizza.



The next day I made a ham, ricotta and tomato calzone with the leftover dough. No photo to show but take my word, it was very good too. It was a weekend of firsts.

And finnaly, to end my nice relaxing weekend, I dropped a 20 pound weight on my foot while at the gym!!! Oouchy! So, I’ve spent the last day and a half with my foot elevated. Not sure if all 3 of my left toes are broken but will soon find out when I can actually put a shoe on and see a doctor. On the positive side, I was able to finish my book and start a new one which is what I really wanted to do this weekend. Guess Holming is on dinner duty for the next few days.
