Random Thoughts: Food, Movies, and Travel

This week has not been too hectic, though it sure has had a few moments.

Monday evening, I made a yummy cauliflower soup.  It was pretty slow, since I made it in the slow cooker.  It wasn't cooking all day.  I put it on when I got home from work!

Tonight, I made another New Haven clam pizza.  It was awesome!  I have two more balls of Neo-Neapolitan pizza dough in the freezer.  So unless I decide to try another topping that is compatible with this type of dough, we may have New Haven clam pizza at least two more times.

This makes me want to go to New Haven, Connecticut or just any where in Connecticut.  I am sure that the fall time is the perfect time to visit this region.   I would have to go to Mystic and eat at Mystic Pizza.  Mystic Pizza is one of my all time favorite movies!

I have been enjoying music and my i-Pod.  Since I do not have my own vehicle, I do not have time to really listen to music.  I have missed it, but have started listening on the PC.  I listened while cooking tonight and it helped me enjoy it.

Lay Lady Lay is my new favorite song by Bob Dylan.  I am not sure how I have missed this one, but it fell through the cracks some how.  I am so glad I know it now!

Not too much happening...

We have been doing well. Work is better. Jon starts school next week.

I made pizza this past weekend. It was fun, but lots of work. I made a Neo-Neapolitan pizza dough from scratch. Then I made New Haven Clam Pizza. It was so good! The dough was what took the most time to make. I have three other dough balls in the freezer, so it will be easier for at least three more times.

The book I used was American Pie: My Search For the Perfect Pizza. I check it out from my local public library.

I finished the first book in the Big Stone Gap series by Adriana Trigiani. I would like to read the wholes series, but will have to take a break. Jon wants to read Dead Until Dark, so that is what I will read next. We want to try reading the same book, so we can talk about it. I guess it will be like having our own little mini book club. I'm excited!

We had a very nice and relaxing weekend. I did not feel like doing much. It was nice to have both Saturday and Sunday off.

Jon surprised me today by coming to get me for lunch. We went to Izzo's.

He made a great chili in the slow cooker tonight. I am so proud of him. I am glad that I was able to step back and let him do it. This is something that I usually make, but I have been so busy.

Jon is so great about helping me around the house. Housework is the last thing I feel like doing, when I am off.

I love my husband so much!
