in honor of dinardo's new restaurant adventure in indiana. i wish him the best of luck (restaurants are tough....just ask brittany spears. her attempt in new york failed in about a month). here is a calzone recipe to wish him good fortune (which indana football has not had in recent human memory): LOUISE'S ITALIAN CAFE GRILLED CHICKEN CALZONE Source: Louise's Italian Cafe, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough 1/4 cup prepared pesto 6 tablespoons ricotta cheese 1 1/2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (scant 1/2 cup) 1 ounce sun-dried tomatoes, chopped 5 ounces grilled chicken breast (1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half), cut into bite-size pieces 1 teaspoon grated Parmesan/Romano mixture 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Parsley sprigs for garnish Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Unroll pizza dough and place on greased baking sheet. Layer pesto, cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes and chicken breast pieces in middle of dough. Lift one edge of dough and stretch over the filling to form a half-moon. Seal edges by pressing with tines of fork or pizza wheel, and make a fluted edge around the seal. Prick top with fork to allow steam to escape. Brush with olive oil. Bake in preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley. Makes 2 to 3 servings.
Given his football coaching ability, I wouldn't plant down any roots in Indiana if I were him. He's won something like 2 (MAYBE 3) Big 10 games in the last 2 years. That sounds AWFULLY familiar to us Tiger fans. He won 1 SEC game in his last 2 years at LSU. And, Tulane outrecruited him this past year - WHICH IS REALLY SAD. He was rated either 10 or eleventh in the Big 10 in recruiting. In other words - THINGS AREN'T GOING TO GET ANY BETTER ANY TIME SOON. If they keep him after this coming year, it will just show that Indiana really doesn't care about football at all.
