Buffalo Chicken Calzone

I made two giant calzones and it was really too spicy for me (I think it was our brand of wing sauce) and now I have a whole one sitting in my fridge that has been left uneaten.

1 pound chicken breasts
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese
handfuls of mexican cheese blend
half of a small onion, diced
minced garlic
1 cup wing sauce
1 roll of Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough (Its the long tube of dough in the refrigerated section)This is the same dough I use for pepperoni rolls
2 tablespoons melted butter
Olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
In a wok cook the chicken, breaking up the breasts into bite sized pieces, add the garlic and onion to the wok.
Remove the chicken mixture and put it in a large sauce pan on the stove top. Add the wing sauce and cream cheese and mix everything together until cream cheese is melted.
Spray a baking sheet well with olive oil spray
Lay out the pizza dough
Cut the pizza dough into two equal pieces
Use a brush and brush the pizza dough with butter
Add a layer of cheese to the dough
Spoon on the chicken mixture. We had a little too much mixture so we put the extra in a small tupperware container.
Then I pulled the edges of the dough over and pinched them tightly together
I cut a slit in the top of each calzone
Next I brushed each calzone with a bit of olive oil
Then bake!

Bake until the pizza dough is browned, about 20 minutes

Raku

Last night our friends had reservations for Raku and invited us along. We went to the Bethesda location but there is also a location near Dupont Circle and in Arlington. http://www.rakuasiandining.com/ They only had chopsticks at the table and I'm terrible at using them Luckily everyone else at the table was great at using chopsticks. When our friends were served the tofu salad (this looked good and you must love seaweed) they brought them forks but they used chopsticks and I scored a fork :) Our friends also ordered some spring rolls but the spring rolls on the menu seemed to come with shrimp which I dont eat. The dipping sauces that came with their rolls looked really good. The presentation of the dish was really nice They split an entree which was a bento box with beef tenderloin with pomegranate wine sauce (they said the sauce was divine) and an assortment of fish, tempura veggies, some mushrooms etc. It was a huge box of food My husband and I ordered 8 tempura green bean s...
