Playing again with puff pastry. I’ve made these pies filled with ricotta, grated dark chocolate, almond and pistachio nuts, lemon and orange zest.

Dinner last night was beer batter flounder fillet, steamed broccoli, and Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits.

Tovala meal. Panko crusted chicken with tamari-garlic sauce, noodles with sweet soy sauce, roasted broccoli and InnovAsian pork potstickers with homemade dipping sauce. A thumbs up meal.

Enjoying some macaroons and forum time in front of the fire. Feeling super chilled out

Phenomenal! Crust is very thin, but also quite soft. Really enjoyed it.

MrsT asked for extra ranch dressing for her salad and then didn’t use it. I said, “Dip yer pizza in it, that’s what the kids do.”

“Oh please! That sounds so stupid!”

I dip pizza into a dressing

Yesterday's lunch was a fried chicken sandwich on a brioche bun with spinach, cucumber, pickle, mustard and mayonnaise. It was yummy.

Nothing wrong with that. I usually just dip the outer crust but some like dipping each bite. Marinara dip is nice too, or garlic butter.

Pizza dipped in ranch dressing is having a huge moment here…well, “moment” is the wrong word, as it’s been going on for quite a while now, but it’s incredibly divisive with some of the older folks (Gen X & Boomers), who see it as just another indication of the handbasket of society going straight to hell, at the direction of…yup, you guessed it, Millennials, and now Gen Z.

It's one of the best things to do with pizza "bones". In an ideal world, the toppings would go from edge to edge on a pizza, although I don't mind the outer edge being stuffed with cheese and brushed with garlic butter. But flavorless, hard, naked crust edges are asking to be dipped in something! As far as the whole pizza being dipped goes, why not just add powdered ranch into the dough or something instead of interfering with a good marinara, cheese, and other toppings? I guess if the pizza sucks (nod to Papa John's) it has to be disguised with something. But why bother ordering from PJ's then...IDK. To each their own, I guess.

I'd rather dip my crust in tomato sauce. JMHO

As per last night, the last of the courgette rosemary rice cake with tomato and basil sauce, steamed kale with roasted cauliflower, and the baked tofu in a yoghurt/ peanut butter/chilli sauce.

Obviously you have mastered the craft of meatless cooking. You make an amazing assortment of good things.

I spent most of today in the hospital emergency room. On the way home we stopped at Arby's for sandwiches. I had a gyro and my wife had the breaded chicken sandwich. Two sandwiches and two soft drinks - $18. The sandwiches were OK but not worth the price.

I like mine dipped in marinara with some seasonings, sure. Plain tomato sauce wouldn't float my boat, though.
