Dinner by Dylan

Last Friday Liz and Drew flew into Chicago for a wedding, and headed to Drew's brother's and brother's girlfriend's apartment to drop their stuff before going out for drinks.  So after a long day work and traveling, it was a nice surprise to find that Dylan had made some dishes!


We started with a bottle of Cycles Gladiators cabernet sauvignon wine and a charcuterie plate, filled with pepper-crusted salami, green grapes, a variety of crackers, and a really creamy brie infused with blue cheese.  The cheese was outstanding-great brie taste tempered with just a hint of medium pungent blue cheese.

For Act II, Dylan created a couple of flat bread pizzas using plain naan, an Indian flat bread, as a base.  One pizza was a bruchetta pizza, complete with torn fresh basil, & diced tomato, fresh mozzarella.  The other pizza was topped with BBQ chicken and fresh mozzarella.

The pizzas were hot and crusty & the flavors of the toppings melded together nicely.  In short, a very thoughtful & tasty way to start our trip to Chicago!
