Nobody cares about what you had for dinner last night

Inspiration #4: Homemade mini pizzas and Pinot Noir

Last night was fun and much like old times, when we first moved into this house.  Some of my favorite memories are making dinner together over a good bottle of something.  We purchased about five bottles of wine from Trader Joe's in Cambridge.  Some of course were two buck chucks and others, much more pricey, like $7.99 to be exact.  But, what the heck, we're worth it!  

The bottle we chose to compliment our dinner was a Hamilton-Steven's 2008 Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley (a place close to our heart).  It's bottled in Healdsburg, CA, which is in Sonoma County.  I hope to be stopping there on our way up to Mendocino in November.  Funny, every time I talk about wine, I think of my friend Alan, who makes fun of breeders and their love of wine.  And this kind of talk inevitably makes his eyes roll straight back into his head. HA!

Mr. Lucky 7 also picked up a bag of 6 small Tandori Naan flatbreads, to which we made mini pizzas with for dinner.  I primarily used a tomato sauce base, but also tried BBQ sauce (per Mr. Lucky's suggestion), which turned out to be oh so yummy.  I caramelized a Vidalia onion and put that under all of that gooey buffalo mozzarella you see.  We enjoyed our lovely dinner and wine in a VERY romantic way...watching the premiere of our favorite reality show, Jerseylicious on the Style Network.  Nothing says love like pizza, wine, blowouts and bronzer!

What's your idea of a great evening?
