I was off work today so we had meatball pizza. I made the dough on Sunday since I like to leave it set at least overnight and we were going to have it on Tuesday.
I found some frozen meatballs that I wanted to use up so it figured, why not.
It turned out to be a very tasty pizza.

Today was flank steak roulade with mashed potatoes. I decided to try it using the bagged country dressing since I wanted something with small bread cubes. I sauteed some diced onions, celery and peppers in olive until tender and then added the stuffing mix and not quite all the chicken broth that the stuffing called for. I did not want it to get too moist and turn into mush in the roll. I pounded the steak to about 1/4 inch thick, salt & pepper it, put the stuffing in and rolled it up. Then I browned it in my large skillet. Once browned, I added the left over onion and celery pieces with a bay leaf and 1 can plus the remainder of the can of chicken broth, covered it and put it in a 350 degree oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Once done, I removed it from the pan to rest, made a gravy with the strained pan juices and served it with sour cream mashed potatoes.

Schiano's Italian Restaurant - February 26, 2011

Had a very nice dinner this evening with the Ryder's at Schiano's Italian Restaurant in Berrysburg. Bob and I had the Schiano's Seafood with a spicy marinara sauce over Linguine. The sauce could have been cooked just a bit longer but is was as good as ever. Tina had the Lobster Ravioli with cream sauce. She almost always get this.
Debbie, I'm sorry but I forgot what you ordered but I know you said it was good.
This place accepts cash only so forget you credit cards. I understand there pizza and subs are some of the best around also. It's a bit out of the way but, if your looking for a good meal at reasonable prices, you should go.

This has been a rather uneventful week on the food scene. I did try and make Mexican Flauta's with rather poor results. They fell apart while I was deep frying them. Oh well, can't have good weeks all the time.

Steaks on the grill today. One problem with a charcoal grill is I only break it out when the weather clears. On well. I need to get some modifications done to my smoker but that is another post. Made mac & cheese to go along with it.
