Season finale

I am not a TV fan. Like I said in yesterday's post I prefer reading a book to watching TV. But I confess there are a few shows I love to watch.

The Big Bang Theory is up there as my favourite right now. It's about nerds...'nuff said. Heroes and NCIS are on the list but only because S watches them religously and I am now addicted. And Mad Men but I miss too many episodes to really follow along.

And Grey's Anatomy. Now, I've thought it has only been a so so show the past couple of seasons...but I keep watching because you never know what's going to happen. So the point of this post is I needed a fast supper tonight - I've worked late and the season finale is on in 10 minutes.

Another pizza night for us tonight.
This time though it was an arugula and prosciutto pizza. S was a little dismayed at me putting lettuce on the pizza, but it gave a nice peppery flavour to it. This is a definite repeat dish for me. The only thing I would maybe do different is add some roasted garlic to the onions and prosciutto before baking. You can find the recipe HERE.


On a side note: Chrysler closed 789 stores in the US today and they are announcing GM's dealership closures tomorrow. While I have the utmost faith that my 2 stores are not in the cut, my thoughts are with all those struggling over the loss of their stores today. It's something that is deeply ingrained in us and hard to walk away from. Look onwards and upwards and keep smiling! When one door closes..... hope to hell your skirt is not caught in the door and the vehicle is speeding away ;)

  1. I've seen so many great arugula recipes in food blog land lately that I've decided to grow some in my garden this year - when it stops snowing, that is. So, I'm really happy to see this here on your blog, and trust me, when I was in Italy, they'd pile up the rocket (the European word for arugula) really high!

  2. Wandering - huh..never thought to grow it myself. I love arugula but was more focused on growing mint for mojitos! And honestly...I like the term rocket so much better than arugula.

  3. I love arugula, or rucola in Italian, especially on my pizza, with some shreded Parmigiano and a drop or two of Balsamic vinegar on top.
    I'm also trying to grow it myself this year.
    And another idea, I saw a recipe for arugula pesto that I want to try.

  6. Dajana - arugula pesto sounds interesting - I'll have to find a recipe for that!

    Ginger - have a great weekend too! Hopefully the weather is good for you.

    Natashya - you know I've never actually watched an episode of Lost.....I've heard it's good. Just too much good TV to try and fit in.

  11. This looks terrific! I have never used arugula in this way at home but I should! I love the flavor of it so much.

    I don't watch Grey's. I have heard from just about everyone how great it is. I guess I'm missing out!

    I love your skirt comment. Funny! I hope things will be alright for you. :0)
