What's for dinner?

Dinner is Served

Ok here's the deal... I love to grow things that I can eat. The only plant that I brought into our marriage is a basil plant. My poor basil plant is a fighter. During the transition between single at my parents and married in Wyoming, my plant stayed at my parents. They were very nice to let it stay and water it (sometimes too little and sometimes too much). It was also left outside in some freezing temperatures.  You would think that it could not get worse for the little plant.  Not so.  During the move the pot it was in broke. Travis felt really bad and we went and re-potted it on our way out of town.  I am happy to say after two months in our sun room, the plant is thriving.  It was getting a little top heavy and I needed to cut it back. Mmmm... what to make that I can use my fresh basil in?  A margarita pizza...did I say mmmmm? 

Wouldn't you know it, the local store did not have any ready-made crust. This means that I was on my own.  It was the first time I have ever cooked anything that needed yeast.  I also made my own red sauce.  It was not perfect but not bad for a first attempt.  

The best part of the dinner was the flowers that my sweetie brought home to me.  He had to do some work in Rock springs and I asked him if he would bring me home some flowers (flowers are not easy to come by in Pinedale). I got more than I asked for.  He brought me home two dozen tulips and a beautiful plant, oh and a stuffed puppy. It put a smile on my face last night and again all day today.
