Italian Sausage Pizza (Sausage from Crooked Gap, Mozzarella from Lucca)
So I didn't give the dough the amount of rise that I normally would (only 1 day, usually do 2 to 3 days). The sausage (which I kept eating, so it's good that I had more then I needed) was pretty good. Not as spice forward as the Graziano, but not as fennel and pork forward as the La Quercia, but some where in between. Still good. Would probably make a good sandwich, which I will have to try sometime. then I sliced the mozzarella and used my standard tomato sauce. It came out pretty good, though I probably should've shredded the mozzarella and I forgot to add the parmesan.
Chicken Salad w/ Ritz or in sandwiches (Requested, for Des Moines Art Center Free Flicks)
So as I stated on twitter, this had a whole lot of dill in it. It was a combination of GWM's roast chicken, mayo, Dijon, dill, onions, some spices and a splash of hot sauce. It came together nicely, but when it came to tasting, it was dill forward, which is pushing the boundaries of what Shannon finds acceptable. Because of that, I will be making this again.
Pork Burgers
nom nom nom.
Black Bean and Pepper Jack Burgers (p17 Fine Cooking June & July 2012)
So I don't know what happened here. I just kind of spaced off. And when it came to combine the beans, and the bean, egg, and oatmeal course puree, with the shredded cheese, I just forgot all about the cheese. I was wondering why it wasn't as thick as the last time. As soon as I had put it into the pan to cook, I remembered... Anyways I used some hot curry powder and some red pepper flakes to spice it and it still turned out pretty good, so that's not a bad thing. Clearly I won't be able to let this go, and I'll be making this again.
Chicken Breasts (from Foxhollow Poultry Farm) satued, or pounded, I'll figure it out the night of
So Clearly I have been in a sandwich mood. So I pounded these out, satued them up and we had ourselves some nice chicken sandwiches. It was very good.
Fluffy Cornmeal Pancakes (p22 Cook's Country June & July 2012)
These were fluffy, had a courser texture then the normal pancake, but certainly a nice change of pace.

So I have been thinking about this for a while this was a good week to start. I saw some sugar snap peas at the market, and I thought, remember that one thing I had that one time... So because I couldn't remember what I had, I hoped I took a picture of it, after finding the picture , I found the recipie for Spicy Orange Chicken Stir Fry. Now because I wasn't making a full trip, I headed over to Dahl's to pick up the other items. They didn't have any package of chicken that I was willing to buy that either added up to or had about the pound and a half of chicken needed. So I ended up getting around 1.6 or 1.7 pounds, which made a big difference in the amount of chicken in the pan. Anyways, I cleaned and cut the peas and everything worked out for the best.
