Hand Engraving by Sarah Ladd - Fine art engraving, pure gold inlay, diamond setting

My wife simply requested that I make dinner. ;) We have a take turns agreement, though the preponderance of cooking duty is on her, as she is a MUCH BETTER cook than I am, with a healthy and varied repertoire. Neither of us can do engraving though. :confused:

These detail photos are quite a treat.

I ended up making pizza. He can have a say in what I make but since I'm driving the car I get to pick where we go lmao. I love to cook and bake, and being the perfectionist I am, my cooking is a skill I'm always trying to refine. He does the dishes for me, although now that I'm working from home, he just puts the leftovers away and I do the dishes too. Bobby Flay makes a great recipe for pizza dough, his recipe makes two crusts so I make two pizzas at a time. I ended up making hot italian sausage pizza. Sauce made from san marzano whole tomatoes, a plucking of fresh herbs: thyme/oregano/basil/garlic chives/parsley, 5 different kinds of cheeses: Parm, Asiago, mozzarella, havarti, sharp cheddar, black olives, onions, baked on a hot stone with a cornmeal sprinkle on the bottom.

Ah. There's so many things that can go on a great pizza. However, I was working with what I had, without needing to visit the grocery store. I had canned pinneaple, but I actually prefer pineapple on pizza with ham or bacon, not so much with sausage, and fresh is always best.

I have all the things I need to make my signature loaded baked potato pizza but man that takes a lot of time. Pizza in general is a process. Deep dish is an investment, it takes 3 hours just to proof the dough!

I take a couple yukon gold spuds, coat in olive oil and my own spice blend AP rub that I use when I'm smoking pork ribs, and bake 'em til they're about 211 degrees inside. Roughly chop, skins on and mash with a big fork along with butter, sour cream, S&P, little garlic powder, toss in the fridge to chill a bit. Heat your stone to 425 and lay down your prepared dough. coat dough with a thin layer of olive oil, and throw down a layer of grated fresh asiago cheese. On top of this, crumble your prepared potatoes across the pizza. Drizzle with heavy cream. Sprinkle with a nice mix of as many fresh herbs as you can find, I usually go all in with everything I've got in my garden: chives, green onions, parsley, rosemary, oregano, basil, thyme, all minced. I then take fresh mozzarella and pull it apart with my fingers to spread it out across the potatoes, and shred a white cheddar cheese brick across the top. Grab cooked crispy bacon, crumble evenly across the top, another round of S&P across the whole thing to taste, and in the oven it goes.
 
Here's a small selection of my cooking that you can look at, but not taste, or smell. I'm very sorry about this.

Loaded baked potato pizza, peach cream pie, some kinda pizza, apple cream pie, pistachio cake, another zucchini cake, banana bavarian cream cake, chocolate swirl coffee cake with chocolate drizzle, lemon poppyseed coffee cake with lemon glaze, some kinda fruit pie probably had apples in it lol

That sounds pretty good tbh. Thanks for the reply.
