I woke before 7 a.m. My food-day started with coffee, as usual.

And then more coffee...

I begun to work on some texts, so breakfast must wait a little these days. When I could take a break, I prepared arepas and filled them with ham a nd cheese.

I had to go grocery shopping for my father and then came back home to prepare late lunch.

I made a chicken stew.

And grilled peppers, which my husband just loves.

I served these with boiled rice. We like to put some of the light sauce on the rice; it's delicious.

While I prepared lunch, I also marinated chicken thighs, so my husband could use them while I was away (I travel every Friday for one or two days, to work). This is also good for me because I get to eat some of it too when I come back on Saturday afternoon.

I had a busy day, but I would not miss our home movie night, so I made pizzas, enough to take to work the next day and share with our beloved secretary. She's a sunshine.

I had made the dough early, so I just had to roll it out with a rolling pin and put the sauce, cheese and toppings I had ready earlier in the afternoon.

I made two pizzas. The one you see in this photo below has ham, bacon, red and green bell pepper, oregano and rosemary.

And this one has pepperoni, basil pesto and onion.

Both were really good. I learned from an Italian pizza maker that the sauce is never cooked before putting it on the pizza and is made from ripe tomatoes and garlic. Simple. The rest, then, vinegar and sugar if necessary, salt, oregano, olive oil. The result is a strong Italian flavor, instead of tomato stew, lol. I must say I use basil and rosemary sometimes, too; it depends on the toppings.

I served the pizzas at the lounge table and we ate very well.

We accompanied with coke and a good movie: The Power of the Dog, directed by Jane Campion and based on the novel by Thomas Savage, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, one of my favorite contemporary actors.

This one was my favorite:

Delicious!

And this was my food-day. I hope you had a good one, too.
