Coach made up the pizza oven. Coach made the pizza dough. We ended up cooking 25 pizza dough crusts this night. The best was my double stuffed cheese crust with a bit of char. Coach said the cheese was still molten when he bit in. […]
The Scottish festival in Estes kicks off the parade with the “Dogs of the British Isle”. Inspiration from the festival comes this tea towel as the October tea towel of the month. 100% Cotton and no recipes on the tea towel (dog gone).
Love Love Love Colorado peaches. This week they are my Sweets of the week!
At Trader Joe’s food sample station were delicious peach, prosciutto, brie appetizers. They are best served room temperature. I bought the products and assembled at home.
YES the Audition went very well. In celebration the tea towel for the month of September is for party kids and sprite auditions for the Nutcracker! Winter Holidays are coming!
Recipes are not included on this tea towel. Says “made in UK “and “100% cotton”. Site of THE Wedding…. and all I got is this tea towel.
Crazy i know! trinkets from the festival. Tweed Kettle does not sound anything like fish.
Johnshaven is a coastal village along the North Sea located in Aberdeenshire, down the road from Grandpa in Laurencekirk Scotland. The travel eats this week is Scottish Smoked Salmon. When I visited grandpa in September it was to cold to sit water side. Thank goodness […]
Tony P’s Pizzeria: the perfect location, and the perfect family dinner experience…. well… maybe not perfect, but it has “kid friendly” potential.
When my family and I went down to the Highlands this weekend, we found an original and gorgeous pizzeria. As we ventured inside, the first things that I saw were a tattered floor, many people, dim lights, and separated sections of the restaurant, acting as if they were one. My first thoughts were (from seeing how many people there were) that this was a great place to bring a friend, family, or to recommend to someone. Also, I thought that it needed some help.
When we sat down at the table, my family and I ordered drinks and my Mama and Papa’s came straight away. I just figured that they were taking a little while, and that my drink (an Italian Cream Soda) would come out in a few minutes. Well… 45 minutes later I asked, “- Oh! And may I please have the Italian soda?” The waitress responded, “Another one?!” “Umm…. I haven’t had my first one.” “Oh! Ohhh yeahhh!….” My view: “REALLY?” Well, I guess they were busy, but the waitress only had about 6 or so tables to cover.
Before the waitress noticed my soda had gone missing, we ordered our meals. My parents ordered an “everything” pizza, while I ordered a 12″ ‘make your own’ pizza. About 10 minutes later, she brought out the dough (on a plate), marinara sauce, cheese, and black olives (as I requested). I made up my pizza as my Mama and Papa had their pizza brought to the table.
When the waitress brought my cooked meal back to the table, I was very excited. I had never made my own pizza in a restaurant before… only at home. As I took my first bite, I noticed a sweet note incorporated in it: pineapple! But, I didn’t put pineapple on the pizza that I made! She eventually took the pizza away and brought back the pizza that I certainly made: with cheese and black olives. My thoughts on this: they need a better system.
As we were heading out, our waitress stopped us at our table and asked if I wanted an Italian Cream Soda to go. I said, “Yes, please.” Yet, that soda tasted like it was made with a bit of bitterness.
My rating on Tony P’s in the Highlands: 6/10 They have a good thought, but it has “kid friendly” potential.
