Food!!!

After getting back from Iowa, I decided, for once, I should cook D something, instead of the other way around. However my meal ended up being very Midwestern.

Mashed potatoes, watermelon, and Corn on the Cob... with Burgers.

A distinction. In Arizona you buy "Some corn on the cob", in Iowa you buy "A couple ears of Peaches 'n' Cream" or some other specific variety. In Iowa - you know the differences between varieties of corn, and you have distinct preferences.

We also substituted ground Turkey, instead of beef for the Burgers (keeping D off the Evil Red Meat as much as possible). For D's I added PepperJack cheese, green peppers and homemade Guacamole on toasted MultiGrain bread from Chompie's. Yummy.

Then - on Saturday - we pan cooked the rest of the Ground Turkey into Sausage Patties and used them on Deep-Dish Pizza.

You can now order pizza from D with either Hand-Tossed or Deep-Dish crust. Spoiled - that's me.

We were inspired to make it this way, from America's Test Kitchen. Except to access the recipe online you have to create a user name and password... lame!!! So D just edited his regular recipe with a few changes he remembered from the show - like using Milk in the dough, and lining the pan with olive oil before putting the dough in, which essentially Fries the bottom of the crust while it's in the oven cooking.

It came out lovely!!!
