He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood

After an afternoon at the mall trying to get Vicki’s computer fixed, that’s exactly what we were calling the Mac whisperer! Vicki and I ran a bunch of errands on Friday morning (trip to Price Chopper and David’s Bridal) and then headed over to the Mac store. Not only did this guy put his ear up to her laptop and tell her what was wrong, he installed a new hard drive, transferred all of her files and had it all up and running in about 2 hours. Thanks to apple care, it was all free!

With a good as new computer, we went back to the apartment and each got on the treadmill for a while. I tested out a new workout that involved a lot of speed walking up hill. I didn’t think I would feel it as much as a run, but it was actually quite challenging.

Afterwards, I was pretty hungry, and we decided on pizza for dinner!

My new basil plant. It smells amazing.

Added some of Emeril’s Italian Essence to the sauce.

Along with lots of fresh basil and garlic.

We also decided to take the easy way out with the dough situation, and used a Boboli crust.

Hmmm pizza!

Needed some veggies…thus the salad.

Also added feta cheese, cranberries and sliced almonds.

I also whipped up some of my Brie Bites. Starting off with a package of Pillsbury Grands, I separated each of the biscuits into thirds and placed each one on a mini muffin pan.

Using a tart press, I pushed each piece of dough in forming a cup. A little flour helps with the stickiness.

Next, I filled the dough with a little brie cheese and some raspberry jam.

They went in the oven for 10 minutes and you have Brie Bites!

Vicki and I spent the rest of the night watching Glee and chatting. When a friend leaves the country for 9 months, there’s definitely a whole lot of necessary catching up and it often involves venn diagrams ;)

    They say I looked a lot like Emril in my younger days when I had hair. That pizza looks tasty !
