I had the abdominal ultrasound and x-ray, but both came back perfectly normal. No one quite knows what to make of my mysterious illness, but I have a follow-up appointment with my family doctor next week to schedule some more tests. I have been feeling somewhat better over the past couple of days and have been well enough to eat bland things since Thursday evening (without losing it...sorry). Last night, however, was a different story.

Sandra inspired me to go beyond my usual "cereal, toast and rice" repertoire of recipes and bake up something fun for dinner last night. Since my tummy has been on the fritz, I have not felt much like eating and so when the hunger hit last night, K2 and I knew that we had to take full advantage of it. When K2 asked what I wanted to have as my first real meal of the week, I remembered this post
and knew instantly that I had to have it.
Off to the grocery store we went with my little list in hand and with all the hope a potentially catastrophic cook could muster. We bought our wares and headed home to make sense of terms such as "grate", and "baking tray", and the ever so enigmatic "until browned" phrase. I won't lie to you, folks, there were some tense moments, but K2 and I persevered and our reward was sweet. I was able to put away two pieces of this magnificent dish and we have leftovers to last us a few days. It was delicious!

Our toppings included black olives, tomatoes and red onions (with cheese, of course).
