Georgia and New Jersey

Ok, when you think of Georgia, can you think of anything else besides peaches?!   Luckily, it is the right time of year to get good peaches here in Massachussetts.   We made a peach torte for dessert using the basic fruit torte recipe from "Elegant But Easy."   This is a great recipe;however, you must use real butter, and have a heavy hand on the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.  

I lived in New Jersey for awhile, and I always think of good red sauce Italian food for that state.   But I couldn't come up with a specific red sauce dish that was really local to NJ.   Instead, I came across a number of discussions about Italian hot dogs, which are a favorite dish there.   Descriptions of the hot dogs said that they are served in a "pizza bread roll" with fried onions, peppers, and potatoes. 

The big question was, what is a pizza bread roll?   I couldn't find any recipes on the internet, but I did find various descriptions saying that they were "sort of a fat pita".  That description, plus the name, leads me to think that they are rolls made out of pizza dough.   So that's what we made - rolls from pizza dough, filled with a hot dog, onions, peppers, and potatoes.  We cheated an made oven fried potatoes instead of deep fried, but they worked well.  I thought it would be strange to have potatoes on a sandwich, but I really liked it!
