Eating alone tonight, so I'm making jalapeno and pepperoni pizza with Monterey pepper jack cheese with some leftover dough from yesterday. Will probably put crushed red pepper flakes on to be extra sure.

That is my favorite "go to" pizza when it's a chain franchise pizza or "medium" quality pizza.

I grew up on NYC and northern NJ pizza, so I'm spoiled and picky when it comes to pizza ;)
 
Tonight's Canada Day celebration dinner is at my daughters cottage down the lake......I get to watch!!! BBQ steaks, herb roasted new potatoes, yellow beans with shallots and lemon, Caesar salad and no idea if there is dessert! On our way by boat now......I love summer!
 
We had an outdoors kiddo event that was fun and left everyone pretty hungry for dinner. Decided on pizza from a place near where we live, and it was great. We had breadsticks and cheese on the side.
 
Tonight it was a recipe I saw on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives.
Veal Giuseppe
It was very tasty.
I've made this same recipe with a chicken breast in case you do not care for veal.
And it was still very good.

I'll try myself on a vegetarian version of that. Thanks.

Happy Canada Day! Sounds like y'all had a wonderful time just being together. Good times with family is what it's all about.
 
Back at our place for dinner tonight. Most have left to go back to the city....poor buggers! Just my daughter, SIL and two grands 7 and 4 for dinner. Did some swimming and boating and sliding down the new water slide Granddad made the grands for Christmas. So easy, easy tonight. hamburgers, potato salad and deviled eggs. Rhubarb strawberry crisp for dessert.

Sounds delicious, but how on earth do you figure out how much an ounce of onions (or anything else that isn't liquid) is? Does everyone in Europe have a kitchen scale? I've noticed grams a lot, too.

I have one and use it pretty frequently. For stuff like you're talking though, I convert it to a cups measurement. I ask Google "how many cups is 47 grams of chopped onion" and it tells you. Before AI it would just run a conversion equation and give you the measurement, now it tells you in human speak.

"Approximately 47 grams of chopped onion is equal to about 1/3 cup"

For something like that it doesnt matter that much. If you like onions, add what you want. If you dont, dont add any, or just add some. Add something else, maybe leeks or shallots.

It's not like baking where things are that specific. I almost always add more onions, ginger, garlic, and heat to recipes.

Famous chef Pino Luongo is all about that. A Tuscan in the Kitchen: Recipes and Tales from My Home. Cook it how you like, and taste as you go.

Edit: btw, I should have started with this. You an ask that exact question on google and get an answer. And fast conversions for measurements too.

Totally. And Caesar salad snob too :)

I used to follow the Caesar salad recipe I found in Bon Appetit one summer. It was fabulous, but took about all day. I served it with fresh off the boat, picked lobster on the side. There was no meat in the salad except crumbled bacon (and I snuck an anchovie in mine). I left it out of the dressing for those who run shrieking from anchovies. It was a perfect summer meal.

For something like onions I do not think you have to be exact.
If exact measurements are need I use a kitchen scale.
And you can set a kitchen scales to measure ounces, grams, etc.
 
I made a 11x6 pizza. For some reason it was really good and I ate most of it. I'll hate myself for the calories in an hour, but it was really good.

I had iced tea to drink.


It's raining, again.
