Met my sis and niece at a Chinese buffet. Nothing to write home about, but apparently, my son likes squid.

Papa John's(it's the only joint that delivers here, which really pmo, as I can see where delivery stops for others) and Mr. Gatti's--my niece spent the night, and so, I had to please all three. Too tired to cook, my batteries were low.

I bought some very petite frozen Canadian lobsters on sale and made them with a tomato, bacon, fennel and pernod sauce and then made a topping of toasted panko, smoked garlic, dried parsley (hey, it's Sunday and the stores are closed) and lemon peel. Washed it down with a Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet. A North American kind of evening.

Had dinner at a friends house. She made 3 different pizzas that were absolutely delicious. Have to get back into that. So good.

Mr. Gatti's is still in business? Huh. I thought Domino's had bought them up and shut them down.

Still pretty common on this side. KY and TN, almost every town. Not sure about Ohio.
Still sucking the kiddies in, lol. Lots of the smaller old chains dying tho; kind of sad.

Edit, it is now called Gatti's. I am old school,lol.

We still have Papa John's in Michigan. They're considered to be vastly superior to Domino's. I dunno, if I'm going to buy pizza it had better be dirt cheap (Little Caesar's) or pretty tasty (Pizza Hut, now that I'm no longer in range of Martini's).

Went to a friends, she had two kinds of Papa Murphy's thin crust pizza (not too bad), salad and I brought Ina's coconut cupcakes....we were celebrating another friends birthday...those are really good cupcakes!

I was going to make some chicken and Spanish rice but, for some strange reason, I have been eying the pizza currier's menu...

So, speaking of squid:

Kris was out, and I had an artist friend over. So I made Wild Mushroom, Pepper and Calamari per Hirogoyen (Basque), and Potato and Chard gratin per Janet Mendel (Spanish). Had it with Acme bread, and "Radio Boca" tempranillo. I'd bought a bottle of rioja, but it turned out to be bad.

The first dish was excellent, but that was mostly due to the quality of ingredients (including Nameko and Yellowfoot mushrooms). The gratin was a keeper; easy, and made from inexpensive ingredients which are mostly available year-round.
