As always, our holiday party was a surprise. I wasn’t in the guessing game mood, I just wanted prosciutto.
This year’s surprise holiday party activity was a pizza making class at Le Pain Quotidien, instructed by Chef Dawn Kinard. We got our hands dirty & made our own pizza dough to take home, as well as sauce prepared by Chef Dawn. Using previously prepared dough, we made personal pizzas for lunch with some toppings to choose from: mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, tomatoes, ricotta and parmesan.
There was a contest for the best tasting pie, judged by Chef Dawn: I came in second! Prosciutto, pepperoni, olives, ricotta and parmesan, so good!
The party continued across the street at Bleeker Street Bar: libations, pool, darts & the usual RE shenanigans.
I drank everything bubbly, had two shots, then melted in the back seat of an Uber—just like last year!
