I actually went grocery shopping today. It's one of my most loathed chores, but once I did it, I felt unexpectedly good. Hopefully, it will have that same strange effect on me next time too.
While at the store, I looked for the fixings for homemade pizza, sans homemade crust. That's not my specialty. It's Trey's. There, I found a jar of Monjunis pizza sauce to use. If you don't live in Louisiana, the chances are great that you've never heard of Monjunis. What a shame! They are a statewide chain of Italian Restaurants specializing in the typical Italian fare such as pastas, and muffalletas. (Are muffalletas typical, or is that just a southern thing?) Their sauce is to die for. It's a little sweet and quite flavorful. They have an online grocery where you can buy a jar of their sauce among other things. Check it out. You won't regret it.
The pizza turned out to be delicious. I used focaccia bread as the crust, added minced garlic, the Monjuni Sauce, of course, diced onions, and three cheeses including feta. Mmmm...C'est Si Bon!
Other than grocery shopping, I went looking for nick-nacks to fill some of the empty space on our new favorite piece of furniture. There was no where else that I wanted to go but Paul Michael Co., a local and eclectic import store. What a massive treasure chest that place is! My dad was quite impressed with the outcome of my decorating frenzy, and asked what I thought Trey would say when he saw it. My answer: How much did that cost?!
How right I was. It was the first thing he said! Do I know my guy or what?
