Foppiano Lot 96

Another great wine from Corner Wine I paired this with the grilled pizza.

Grilled Pizza

This was a welcome home meal for Michal, John & co. who just got back from Denmark. Tips on the dough--let the yeast sit in warm water with a T of sugar. Let rise twice before punching down. Roll out thin. Placed on the grill on both sides and cooked 1/2 way:


Then off for the toppings:



Then put on the heat shield and baked (with wood chips) at 600 degrees. Michal gives a great suggestion: olive oil and salt on the outer crust.

Shrimp Pesto

Pretty standard pesto--basil, parsley, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil. Sauteed the shrimp in very low heat. Added crush garlic late. Also threw in lightly sauteed CSA cherry tomatoes. *Tip* Use the pasta pot after boiling the fettuccine.



I've been visiting our new wine shop-- Corner Wine. This is an old vine zinfandel. Spicy and maybe a touch too sweet.

Blackberry Buckle

Made this for Henry with blackberries we snuck from Raven's Run: 1/2 c rice flour, 1/2 c brown sugar, blackberries, a little milk (1-2 T), one stick butter. Served with Graeter's blackberry chip ice cream
