ULTIMATE COOKING POST!!!1111



So due to a complete lack of any good pictures on Serena's computer (which I am currently using) and a large level of laziness, I will now attempt to make 1 blog post about multiple cooking projects that we completed some time ago.

Butternut Squash Pizza!!

So David & I went on an awesome roadtrip around New England earlier this year (we'll be recapping that in a later entry), and had the yummiest unconventional pizza ever at the Corner Grille in Worcester, Massachusetts. We had ordered a "Harvest Moon Pie," which involved a 14" rectangular pie topped with Brown sugar ♦ roasted butternut squash ♦ caramelized onion ♦ sausage ♦ toasted pumpkin seeds ♦ cheese ♦ brown butter drizzle. Yum right? Well here's a picture:




So on Sunday, we decided to make a butternut squash pizza of our own, combining a loose interpretation of this recipe with what we remembered from our Harvest Moon Pie experience, within the very limited constraints of our cooking ability and the contents of David's kitchen + 1 Waldbaums shopping trip.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 butternut squash
  • Boboli whole wheat pizza crust
  • 2 tablespoons Italian blend shredded cheese
  • 2 slices of mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 medium-sized Vidalia onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • approximately 4 pumpkin seeds
  • about 3-5 mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • a thick hunk of butter
  • a good measure of brown sugar

Independence Day

So yesterday was Independence Day (or the 4th of July if you'd like, and I wouldn't). We went to Jones Beach on Long Island for the FIREWORKS SPECTACULAR and while it wasn't nearly as crowded as I had expected it would be, it was every bit as sandy.

Anyway, along with the sand there were also some fireworks. As you can see below, our pictures really capture the spectacularness of them.




Our first foray into the world of co-blogging!

Hello world!

This is Serena. David is currently fiddling with the HTML on the site to try to make it look less boring and/or unattractive. We've decided to create a joint blog in order to document all the nifty stuff that we do that we don't want to forget about later. Maybe something like a digital scrapbook of our lives.

You can expect posts about the following:
- cooking experiments/recipes
- music/theater/movies
- roadtrips & travel
- restaurants & various other venues

...and more! New and improved!! 30% more free! Hooray!

In case you were wondering who the hell we were, here is a picture of us:
