Had my nephew over for pizza and wine last night. We had a nice time. Next week he goes back to work after being off for 2 months. He’s the one who had cancer surgery. It sounds as though he will be starting back at seven days a week. They are closing his section of the company out by the end of the year and he will be out of a job after 20+ years. He seems to be handling things pretty well.
I fixed a roasted chicken pizza. The chicken was from the deli which make things so simple. The prep work was easy. Chopped red onion, charred over open flame one poblano pepper, peeled and chopped it, and cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Infused some olive oil with several slices of garlic and chipolte pepper plus a pinch of cumin.
In the crust, I added black pepper and a touch of finely chopped rosemary. Brushed the crust with the olive oil, spooned the sauce on (took the easy way and used Boboli) sprinkled it with grated parmesan, added the chopped ingredients and topped with mozzarella cheese. (lots!). Baked it off then paired it with a fine 2004 Da Vinci chianti reserva. Had a little side salad.
The estate attorney finally called me back. As I suspected he had been on vacation and had just returned from Wyoming. Said he was glad he missed the heat wave here. Things bumping along and I have to crunch a few numbers and get them to him today. This stuff sure moves slow. Today I do not have a plan so think I will head to the Green Top Cafe for coffee and have a plan by the time I leave. A good jolt of caffeine is on order.
