take me out to the ball game

March 21, 2010  |  Recipe, random, weekend recap  |  1 Comment

Spring is in full force here, and pretty Sunday afternoons are usually good recipes for Sunday afternoon baseball games. A good reason to spend time outside, and that of course demands the NEED to visit the yummy concession stand maybe even twice during the baseball outing. But what if you just want the tasty treats without the longgggg baseball game? It is kind of like going to Target for popcorn, but not wanted to go to a movie. You know what I mean? So what’s the alternative? MAKE YOUR OWN homemade soft PRETZELS with MUSTARD. In this case, make em’ tiny and everyone gets their own. Then there is not need to share one BIG one, which always successfully ends in a fight over who gets the “doughy” piece from the middle overlapping pieces.

Give it a shot too: it’s easy, takes few ingredients, and will rock your tummies world!!!!

And for a little baseball inspired “FUN”…

Rome it’s rectangular. Chicago it’s deep. @ Dominos it’s crispy, and at others it’s doughy. Naples-style is known as Neapolitan. New York it’s “New York style” and pretty much ”regular”. Sicilian traditionally features the cheese under the sauce, and if it’s thin it’s “nonna pizza”.  New Haven it’s oblong, and D.C. it’s jumbo slices. Then there is grilled pizza, “bar-pizza”, stuffed pizza, and even California style with a Meditteranean twist. But in New York , pizza is taking on a whole new shape:

I wish I could take a picture of smell, captured it in all of its’ scrumptiousness, and post it right here for you to enjoy. Since technology hasn’t quite gotten there yet, this will have to do:

Let’s play with our imaginations…take a deep inhale through your nose just like pilates breathing, and put yourself in my kitchen!!

If your mouth is now watering, continue scrolling…

There is just nothing like the smell of cinnamon baking away in the oven. These beauties pretty much smell like a lazy Saturday morning with coffee in hand.

*The recipe for the rugelach pinwheels is adapted from MS, and made with crescent roll dough. Note: I’ve made the homemade dough too, an it dances in your mouth!
