White Pizza with Brussels Sprouts and Red Onion

I am finally getting to the point with my cooking that I can use parts of previous recipes to try and figure out what might go well together. It's very rewarding!

 Tonight I made a white pizza with Brussels sprouts and red onion. I based this on two recipes (white pizza with artichokes, rosemary, and olives--Real Simple, April 2013 edition, link not available yet; broccoli rabe with pecorino tart) and came up with the following:

  1. 1/2 gluten-free pizza dough, Gillian's, rolled out
  2. 50g reduced fat, 4-Italian cheese blend
  3. 30g grated parm
  4. 20g grated pecorino 
  5. 1 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  6. 1/4 red onion
  7. 4-6 sliced green onions (greens only)
  8. roasted Brussels sprouts, 4 cups?
  9. fresh/dried rosemary, as desired
  10. Lightly drizzle with olive oil infused with hot red pepper
Gillian's pizza says to cook at 375 for 18-20 minutes. I roasted the Brussels sprouts (at a higher temp, of course) in olive oil with salt & pepper, while I prepared the pizza; then switched and baked the pizza while I kept the Brussels sprouts warm. When the pizza is almost done, add the Brussels sprouts, pushing into the melted cheese. Continue to bake until done. 

I had left over Brussels sprouts to go on the side. Delish! Enjoy!

A Love Note to Murray, Four Years Out

Image
Dear Murray: You left this world four years ago tomorrow. I miss you. I think of you every day. Each year since your departure, I have chronicled another year without you (your initial departure in 2016 , and then in years 2017 , 2018 , and 2019 ) and this year is no exception. I have noted many times that I adored you, that you shaped my career in ways that were unimaginable for me when I met you, that you were, and still are, my foundation for social science research, my role model for collaborating with others, and that every day I aspire to your optimism, warm spirit, dedication, curiosity, and generous nature. And, every day I am reminded of you, in small ways, in big ways, and in all ways, in between. Recently, my administrative assistant didn’t have quite enough tasks to keep her busy. She asked me for more work several times. Just this week, I decided to give her some tasks -- for when she has down time -- that would help me with some analyses I’m about to underta

Remembering Murray, Three Years Out

Image
I am remembering Murray this week, three years after his DOD. I think that I will always associate the end of an academic year with the time that we lost Murray. We knew that he was suffering and that he didn't have much time left. I was grading late into the night, feeling the pressure of what I call "the season of extremes" in academia. I had gotten little sleep when I heard from Murray's assistant: a text alert on my phone and then a phone call to let me know that Murray had passed away. I'm not able to visit his grave to mark the anniversary this year, instead I'm in the Caribbean. Murray would approve. He loved travel. I have my computer so that I can put out some fires at work and maybe submit that paper that I have in queue. Yes, Murray would approve of this, too. So, this week, I am holding close some of my favorite memories of Murray... Sitting with him at the long table in his office, hearing him talk about work and life Watching his enthusia

What Happens When a Stress Fracture Won't Heal?

Image
That's right. I have at least two stress fractures that won't heal. I've had one for about 15 weeks and a second for at least 18 months. When a fractured bone won't heal, it's called a non-union fracture . I get quite a kick out of this. Makes me think of my bones slaving away in a sweatshop or something! What do we do to try to get non-union bones to heal? First, health providers put you in a surgical boot. Say good-bye to the surgical shoe. It's all about the boot now. My boot looks just like this one. I don't really want to know how long I have to wear it. Despite it being clunky and a miserable fashion statement, it is much better than the surgical shoe -- in terms of walking. It also seems nearly impossible to re-injure oneself in this contraption! Driving a standard is definitely a no-no. Photo from Ortho Tape Second, we get a bone stimulator. I know, who knew there was such a thing?  Apparently before the days of bone stimulation, there was su
