Cauliflower Pizza at McClures

A bright and shiny morning, the sun filling the living room with light, forcing me to move to another chair.  It rose over Wells Bay, a huge ball at the horizon, moving towards the winter solstice.  Frost covers the ground and car's windshield and it's 25 degrees outside, a high of fifty five later in the day.

We spent much of yesterday getting ready for our trip to Kansas City and Scottsdale.  I worked outside, finishing the garage, so we can park our Accord in it, turning the compost, getting the yard ready for its winter sleep.  Evie did the same inside, and we both spent time trying to figure out what to bring for our trip.  During the afternoon, Evie took one more trip to Lakewood, to shop for our trip and I could not pass up a kayak paddle on the lake.  I have never seen the lake so calm, peaceful, and empty, so smooth and wave less, especially fori a mid afternoon in November.  It's as if the day stopped.  I slid along the water, effortlessly, to Long Point, along its coast and back to the reeds just south of Victoria.  As I was paddling across the lake, a large square fronted boat appeared out of the shadows, a boat of four hunters, having been settled in the reeds waiting for ducks.  They were camouflaged, as they headed  back to the Marina.  The rest of the afternoon I read and watched some football(what else does a red blooded American male do on Saturday afternoons?), and I still like to watch Ohio State play (they defeated Wisconsin and are now 11-0).

For dinner, we went to the Mc Clures about 6:15, a nice way to spend a Saturday night.  We had turkey meatballs for appetizers and pizzas Evie loved, with a crust made from cauliflower.  The toppings were typical for the pizza, just the crust was different.  They are off to Annapolis for Thanksgiving, staying downtown, and meeting Linda's sister and cousins for dinner. Sounds nice and easy and fun.  We stayed till about 10:15, went home to read and go to bed.  A great evening.
