no pictures… July 21, 2009
Slaved all day back and forth from the kitchen to the piano since 5:30 in the morning yesterday throwing a big party after performing at the IKIF last night, and there is not one single picture to show for it… UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! None of my usual girls could make it to the party, so no one was there to remind me to take pictures… hah, I really feel like whining for the rest of the century… Guess I have to throw the same party again… =P
But kisses to new friend R for staying in the 500 degree kitchen with me for all those late night hours helping out and sharing my secret stash of some really fabulous bubbly that is for the “kitchen crew” only 
Here is the menu (my attempt in continuing the tradition of serving pizza at the after event receptions at the festival founder Rose’s, just these were not delivery pizza, but my handmade brick oven thin crust pizza ):
White Bean Hummus, Caramelized Onion, Arugula, and Asiago Pizza
(Todd English’s award winning recipe that paid for his son’s summer camp during a financial difficult time — love the story…)
Classic Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato, Basil, and Parmesan Pizza
Rosemary Fig Jam, Prociutto di Parma, Scallion, and Gorgonzola Cheese Pizza
Spinach Pizza with Oregano Marinated Tomatoes, Caramelized Red onion, and Feta Cheese
Portobello Mushrooms, Porcini Mushroom Purée, Truffle Oil, and Fontina Cheese Pizza
Spicy Shrimp Pizza with Caramelized Leeks, Scallion, and Tomato Sauce
Red and White Sangria, and Lemongrass Pineapple Saketini for drinks
Made 9 trays of 6 different kinds of pizza, only have empty trays, and dirty glasses to show the head count…
