Calzone

For lack of a better topic, I'll show you the calzone Ken and I made for Sunday's lunch. We used leftover pizza dough and layered half of it with steamed potatoes, two types of ham, some leftover chopped celery greens, and cheese. Then I folded the dough over the stuffing and crimped it closed. It went into the oven for twenty or thirty minutes.

A hot pocket of goodness.

We each ate half, which was plenty. Between the dough and the potatoes, it made for a very hearty dish. Besides, we had eaten celery and carrot sticks with a ranch-style dressing as an appetizer. Salad came after. Yesterday, we ate yet another smoked chicken and bell pepper pizza for lunch. And there is still enough dough left over for two more pizzas. I put that in the freezer for another time.

  3. Try "baking" a pizza on your new grill. Quite popular
    with some of our TV chefs.

  4. My all-time favorite. Even better than pizza. And not easy to find in much of the US (or, obviously, here).
