Forgive the crappy picture! Bad lighting, still no photo-box (Matt promises it's coming soon), bad camera.
Sticking with 'some sort of made-at-home, take-out style food' for Fridays (SciFi goes well with that sort of thing, you know), instead of pizza, I had a sudden urge for stromboli.
I first discovered stromboli during a seventh-grade Home Economics class, and I've loved it ever since.
I haven't had stromboli in years, so I searched till I found a recipe I liked.
Easy as can be: a fairly basic dough, topped with whatever meats and cheeses you want, rolled up, scored, brushed with an egg wash and baked.
Not world-class cuisine, by any stretch, but still fairly good.
Matt had salami, pepperoni and prosciutto, with mozzarella and Provolone; mine was veggie ham, veggie bacon and veggie pepperoni, with the same cheeses.
Perfect for snacking on, while watching Stargate!
