Tuesday was Italian Night at Jeannie's. She invited her friend Adrian and her kids over for dinner and a play date. I made shrimp roasted in salt, with a scampi dip, which were good, but I bought peeled shrimp by accident, and too much salt stuck to them. Next time they will be delicious! I marinated mushrooms from a Real Simple recipe that was bland. The kids made their own pizzas on Trader Joe's dough, I just didn't have time to make my own. We also had two 'adult' pizzas:
--ricotta/spinach/tomato - my favorite from Mama Celeste's in Dewey
--gorgonzola/granny smith apple topped with a balsamic reduction
We started with a mango champagne cocktail and finished with a strawberry Italian ice for dessert. Making an ice is an easy thing to do with kids and it only takes 45 minutes to freeze. I used this recipe from epicurious. I am a huge fan of epicurious because I can read the reviews of how other cooks fared with the recipe before I try it.
