It isn't sweltering hot here, but not exactly soup weather. But I saw this on one of our Canadian Food Network shows and thought it was great to use up the last of the chorizo. Turned out it was!

Those pizzas look fabulous Rock! (also noticed the beer in the background, gotta have beer with pizza!). Your pizza makes me almost ashamed to admit we are having "take and bake" pizza tonight. But we are having a nice green salad with it that DH made. Is your recipe posted?

Thanks, everybody! Yes, Somebunny. Beer goes well with a lot of things around here. I don't have much for recipes, I'm afraid. I have made so much of it over the years I just eyeball things now.(I had a restaurant and pizzeria for 13 years) Basic pizza dough with flour, salt, bit of olive oil, yeast and water. I started this recipe with two cups of warm water and about 1 1/4 tblsp yeast. Then about 1 tblsp oil and then some salt just before adding the flour while mixing until it balls up while kneading and stops sticking to my fingers. It made just a litlle over 3 lbs of dough which got me 2 16 inch pie crusts. The pizza I called Deluxe had pepperoni, mushroom, onion, green pepper, and chopped tomato. Sometimes, I like to mix all of the ingredeints together, cheese and all, in a bowl, then spread the mixture on the pizza dough. 500 degree oven.

I made Mark beef pasta (not homemade ... from a box, in other words). With what was leftover, I made a salad. To the leftover beef pasta in the pan I added, chopped lettuce, diced tomato/carrots, sliced green pepper/red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, italian seasoning and italian dressing. I tossed all that together in the pan until well mixed. This is what it looked like on the plate. I have to say it was pretty tasty. On the side, a handful of tortilla chips.

Those colors are incredible, 'nilla. Reminds me of msm's pics.

Here's my $3.99/lb strip steak dinner. Lots of marbling in this loin, which is why I bought it. And the paleness struck me as odd, but it tasted pretty good and was tender. And for the price, you can't beat it. I got 15 1" steaks out of it and a couple odd sized end pieces that I'll throw on the Q one of these days.

What is msm? or who? msmofet? If so, I know what you mean. If I lived with her, I would weigh 500 lbs.

I love your dinner. I bet it was good. It's been ages since I had a good steak dinner!

VB, I have to agree with Pacanis! This looks awesome and I am sure it tasted just as good! Good to see you around!

Sesame chicken with steamed rice and Asian style vegetables, and I've got this 2010 Crios de Susana Balbo Rosé of Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina I've been dying to try

How do you make your sesame chicken?
