Saturday night's dinner had to be thrown together pretty quickly but I had just the thing to fit the bill: barbecue chicken and bacon puff pastry pizza. Once it got dosed with extra mozzarella near the end of the cooking time, it came out steaming and delicious.
That afternoon had a long-overdue treat in the form of a visit with Wake Forest chum Lyn Exum, who's been on faculty down at UNC-Charlotte for almost a quarter century. We first met when I was Hall Director of the Thurman D. Kitchin House, during my master's program, and he was an undergrad. We've kept in contact but this was our first in-person visit since I caught up with him and his wife during his doc studies in Maryland in the late 90s. It's one of the happy delights to make friends at one time of your life who never quite leave it completely...and boy howdy did our hours-long catch-up conversation cover a lot of ground.
