Food & Drink - 24 January 2007

We have been following this tradition for years....ever since we were dating. We each cook a themed dinner for the other's birthday, but we are running out of themes. We have done Italian, Mexican, Seafood, etc. 2 or 3 times over.

This year I want to do a "7 Deadly Sins" Theme, with each item on the menu named after one of the sins. The 7 sins are:
Pride
Greed
Envy
Wrath
Lust
Gluttony
Sloth

I admit that I stole this idea from "Top Chef" but I'm desperate and it seems fun to me and I think my wife will like it.

So Please help me out with some menu ideas for any or all of the above deadly sins. I want to make 1 alcoholic beverage, 1 salad, 2 apps, 1 entree, and 2 desserts.

Also, 7 items is alot more than I usually make. I usually make 5 items....so if anyone knows of any famous groups of 5...I would appreciate hearing those as well.

Thank You

To me the best pizza anywhere is Pizza Hut pizza. I think it's because of the crust, which my favorite is their pan pizza crust. I've tried lots of homemade pizza crust recipes and none come close to Pizza Hut's pan pizza crust. Anyone have a recipe that tastes similar to PHs pan pizza crust?

It's much drier and cheesier than regular mashed potatoes with cheese. I know I could add more potatoes and some cream or milk, but -- any other ideas out there?
