Hopefully I'll have some pictures today - dinner went in the oven 3 hours ago and it's got another 6 to go!

Whereas I have no problem setting a nice table for myself as I enjoy that sort of thing. To each his own.

Meatballs and mashed potatoes Mmmmmm....that goes together like sugar n spice. Ain't that nice.

Homemade pizza. Toppings include: pepperoni, bacon, mozzarella, pineapples, yellow peppers, oregano.

It's a bit late, but this was my dinner yesterday.



Slow cooked belly pork (9 hours of cooking), cooked with carrot, parsnip, celery and chicken stock. Vegetables were meant to be masked, but the presence of too much stock resulted in something a bit more like a purée, hence the rather large splodge on the plate. Put some couscous I had left over with it as well

Tonight's dinner was grilled ribeye steaks and quinoa with spinach. This is the first time in several months that I have grilled. For the quinoa I sauteed onions in butter,then added chopped frozen spinach. After the spinach thawed I added chicken stock and quinoa. The results were okay but i still don't think I've really tapped this grain's potential.

I agree. I like quinoa but have not really gotten into it so to speak. One day I will try do delve deeper .

It is always a family activity in our household. Everyone gets to pick their favourite toppings and everyone is happy.
Sometimes we even get goofy with the shape of the pizza. Heart-shaped on Valentine's Day, doughnut-shaped on April 1, etc.
If your son makes one this weekend, post a photo and I can show it to my daughter, so that she can see how others decorate their home-made pizzas. She's in grade school and loves this stuff.
