For lunch today I made dairy-free calzones, two different kinds. And I took lots of pictures, because I was so pleased with having enough space to actually COOK.

I did one of them with spinach, leeks, and chicken. It was tasty, but needs more pepper and salt next time, and maybe a little garlic. I cooked down one heaped tablespoon of chopped frozen leek and a large handful of fresh baby spinach leaves with a good grating of nutmeg, and then chopped it coarsely, added a palm-full of leftover roast chicken and chopped that in with the veggies.



Then I patted out the dough, added pizza sauce and the topping.



Then fold, and onto the pizza stone which I decided I should get in honor of having an oven for the first time in ages!



The second one is peperoni and roasted pepper & artichoke heart tapenade. Then after about 25 minutes (on 425°F), out it came and om nom nom.





I was going to make something else nice for dinner, but I still have most of the peperoni calzone left, so I might have that with some carrots and humous. It will be good to see if these are good cold anyway, because if they are, I could make them as a thing to take for lunch once I start working. I don't like microwaved bread things, so heating such items up doesn't generally work unless there's a toaster oven.

I was going to do some more writing today. I am currently working on an MCR fic, a Teen Wolf fic, and a 1D fic. Like you do /o\ But instead I unpacked lots of boxes. Also went to the gym and cooked. I did not find my stamps though, so I really need to go find someplace to buy some so I can mail in my voter registration. Even in thirteen years of living in another country, I never missed an election. I am FOR. SURE. not missing this one just because of bad timing on my part.
