Pizza and Beer

Last night was a very special Date Night indeed. Not only was it the day before Valentine's Day, but it was also our 4-month anniversary! How time flies. Craig consented to honor the occasion by letting me serve one of my very favorite dinners--pizza and beer. The beer is Southern Tier's IPA. Southern Tier is my new favorite brewery, and the boys at the beer store were really excited about this IPA--they were right. The pizza is from Pizza Pie-er, where the pizza is definitely a matter of you get what you pay for--expensive but sooooo good. It's a multigrain crust with puttanesca sauce, spinach, mushrooms, and chorico (pronounced "cherise" around here, don't embarass yourself like I did the first time I ordered it). I bought it half-baked and then had to drive it all the way home without busting into the box and eating it. I deserve a medal. We had some sauteed mushrooms, celeriac, and brussels sprouts to fulfill the vegetable requirement.
