My friend Sara made a winter list of fun things to do to get her through winter, and she is doing SO well completing it!! I've had my list for a few weeks and have checked things off... but I thought I'd post it. Let me know if you want in on any of it! Or if you have other great ideas...

Nothing to add - I'm of the "Let's sit inside and hibernate while we wait out the winter" camp - but wanted to mention that good pizza dough (in my humble opinion) requires a pizza screen and some rosemary in the dough. Just sayin'.
Oh, and really good EVOO if you can find it. I recommend splurging at your local marketplace, not your local Jewel.
mmm... and San Marzano tomatoes, arugula and some provolone & mozzarella... buffalo mozzarella if you can find it... k, I know what's for dinner tonight.
(don't put the arugula on until after you've taken the pizza out of the oven - the remaining heat will wither it just enough to be scrumptious).
Brilliant, Dave. I love recipe sharing. EVOO... I need to explore. Hm... a pizza screen? I like rosemary. Good call. I'll report on the pizza.
ooh...i love this list and i'd love to see rue royale again again and watch an independent film=)
p.s. great new photograph/pic!
