The Original Twisted Spinster - Mom is whispering

Yah well I am SOOOOO like my mother. No i did NOT admit that!

I remember my mom telling my siblings and I that when they were poor early in their marriage they cooked and went to cooking classes because they had nothing else to do. Even had friends over to cook new things. Cooking is rather social if you thing about it. Dim sum, fondue etc....

Well it would appear as though Wookie and I are falling into that. Out of the blue yesterday we decided to try making Calzone from scratch.. Went through my Fav bread book and found all the pizza type doughs are EXACTLY the same.  So we gave it a shot. Filled them with diced tomatoes with basil and onion, turkey pepperoni, feta and mozzarella.  SUCCESS!! Even cooked perfectly! I think this weekend we will make a mess of them and freeze them. A few changes though. More pepperoni, need to be more "saucey" I think we will try a jarred sgetti sauce a tad more salt and needs garlic! Still thinking about those scottish meat pies could actually do them just like the calzone. I think the middle eastern cooking may be held off a few more weeks. Gotta try to perfect these. We are on a roll.

Put an app in with a very large Minnesota based company N/W Metro.  They have their own HUGE building, you pass it on your way to Wayzeta, they are just as big as Cargil. It's a handsome position in my field of expertise. Not exactly the direction of the metro we wanted to go to... but............I'll take it if i can get it.
