Pizza!

I pretty much like everything I cook. Which is good, don't you think?

But these pizzas were especially pleasing.

Thanks to my friend Rosemary for expertly shaping the dough.

First, a lemon and prosciutto pizza, recipe courtesy of the Georis winery's Corkscrew Cafe in Carmel Valley, California. I didn't have meyer lemons, so this was a little stronger... and I forgot the arugula, which is odd since I used it in the other pizza. Anyway: delicious.



Next, a lovely fig-carmelized onion-arugula-goat cheese pizza (recipe), with the Georis crust.



And now both of them, Instagrammed for more dramatic lighting, etc.



While Rosemary and I were eating, a hummingbird stopped by for a sip at the feeder. He (she?) could very well be last year's Pedro, or Pilar.

Tough to see (bc tough to photograph), but in any case:

In the mood to bake and cook, but not to post

Apparently.

Much to catch up on.

So, briefly (per usual)...

Double-chocolate zucchini bread, KAF recipe.



Different day. Lemonade. Very satisfying to make.






























Next up, sugar snap peas with red onions. Very simple.



And then the salad along with sautéed patty pan squash (love those little flying saucers) and tomatoes with feta and grilled salmon.



Next day: more salmon, this time with sautéed kale and grilled tomatoes.


That's it, pretty much. 

Oh, and the weather has been absolutely lovely.
