Ah, tongue! A dish that almost never graces the dinner table anymore. It seems to be a bit trendy for celebrity chefs to serve it, either for the gross-factor or because it is truly delicious and we just don't know what we're missing. I saw a Top Chef episode a few weeks ago and it was turned into street food – the tasters claimed to enjoy it.
I've never eaten tongue, that I know of, even though my grandparents owned a cattle farm when I was a girl. It's always possible my mother tried to slip it to me by calling it something else – I know she did that with liver. Even if I could find a butcher that sold it, I have no desire to try it, nor does Brian, and since this is an effort to bring the Sunday dinners into the 21st century, we've completely modernized this menu: PIZZA!!!
Thirtieth Sunday: The Modern Menu
Homemade pizza
Cherries
Iced tea
Brian is the pizza chef in our house. He made the bread from scratch, then rolled out two pies: one for him, one me. His was topped with pepperoni, onion, green peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, pineapple and cheese. I made a Greek pizza, topping mine with feta cheese, onion, tomato, spinach and garlic. I also created a flavored crust by brushing a small amount of olive oil along the outside and then sprinkling Italian seasoning on it. Yum!
Since we live in Michigan and it's cherry season, I also picked up some fresh cherries for dessert.
