What kind of fish? We still have some trout in the freezer from last summer's fishing adventures... maybe I need to thaw it... sounds great!

She got up early every Sunday morning and made the crust, and we'd come home from church and help her load up the pans with all the toppings she'd prepared, and then what a feast we'd have... we always had extra kids wanting to come home with us for dinner, because it was such a treat!

So, do you have a recipe for the pizza sauce?

Wine, cheese, water crackers and a perfectly ripe d'anjou pear. It was lovely.

I like all of your ingredients. I would add 2 or 4 cups of beef stock - depending on how much you are making. I save and freeze after making a roast.

I would add some celery salt - just sprinkle a little, minced garlic instead of garlic powder, and a couple of bay leaves.

Dinner? Same as lunch. Pizza. Double cheese. Double pepperoni.

Bacon-wrapped Shrimp with Basil-Garlic Stuffing

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
16 pieces thinly sliced bacon
1/2 cup prepared fruit-based barbecue sauce

Preparation

Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails on. Butterfly shrimp by cutting a slit along the back and gently pressing open.
Combine basil, Parmesan, and garlic in a small bowl. Place basil mixture evenly in shrimp openings; press shrimp closed.
Cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked. Drain on paper towels.
Wrap each shrimp with 1 slice bacon, and place on greased baking sheet. Brush barbecue sauce over shrimp, and bake at 400° for 8 to 9 minutes.


I make my own BBQ sauce, so I guess with fruit based, I would add apricot jam to Ketchup, Worcestershire, honey, Tabasco and mustard.
