Picnic and playground with cousins today at Riverside Park in Chagrin Falls. It's a comfortable park in that you can set up a blanket as a base while the kids come and go from playground to duck pond to drinking fountain.
Here are the mini pizzas I made for the picnic. While shopping at Marc's, we found mini pepperoni. This was very exciting to a three year old. (OK- exciting to me, too.) What is more perfect for mini pepperoni than mini pizzas? I used dough from Alesci's which is one of the best deals in town- 3 dough balls for $1. The dough empowers me to make a delicious "homemade" pizza.
My only dilemma is that the pepperoni is made by one of the major national meat companies. After watching the movie "Food Inc." I am trying to be more aware of how and where our food is produced. This doesn't mean that I only shop at farmer's markets and buy only organic. It isn't possible due to my financial constraints right now. It does mean that I try to shop local and buy organic as much as possible and as much as I can afford. I could go on and on about "Food, Inc." Just go and see it. Here's an incentive: Fire on Shaker Square will discount your ticket price from an entree if your keep your ticket. How about a date night?
