Pizza Party and Receipt Update
Posted: June 15, 2011 Filed under: Tina Wrote It | Tags: dinner party, pizza, receipts 6 Comments
This past Sunday, we had a few friends over for a pizza party. Toppings included cherry, arugula and mascarpone (pictured and inspired by Readymade); anchovies, capers, olives, tomato sauce and mozzarella; fresh dill, feta and beets; and the works – olives, capers, scallions, mozzarella, tomato sauce and feta. Thanks to friends for toppings and Jack Bishop for our go-to pizza dough recipe.
In terms of $$ spending, we used the last of our money from last week on a tiny block of feta. This week, we”ve just spent $4 on eggs, flour and onions. There have been a variety of work events that have provided some extra food to the household, so we’ve been using up our pantry and veggies from the fridge. Probably doing some shopping tonight though.
