We usually split up the food prep and drinks and just enjoy it at Ado*'s house. this time I had the idea to make some pizzas (the kind husbands wouldn't eat)
*a nickname, pronounced "ey doh"
My FIL (and, it turns out, a coworker) have fig trees, so I have a decent supply around this time of year. We decided to make fig/goat cheese, and attempted to recreate an herb/potato pizza we had at Leucadia last spring.
*Proceed at your own risk. A napkin might be required for the drool.*
I picked up two balls of pre-made pizza dough (wheat and regular) at a market. This may just be the best invention ever. Completely worth the $4 it cost us!


Carly and I tossed and stretched like pros and then set the pizzas on boards covered in cornmeal.
Ado started sauteing the potatoes and I carmelized a sliced red onion.


carly spread the oil and we topped




And the yummy result:


We ended the night with homemade salted caramel ice cream. delightful.

Here are the recipes we used:
Fig, Onion Goat Cheese
Sage Rosemary Potato
