I love making home made pizza. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't make a round pizza and that your pizza stone is "dirtier" than mine ;).

It's not dirty, it's seasoned. We cook more than pizza on them...

I stand corrected. What else do you two cook on there?

The cookies I baked earlier, for one. Sometimes homemade fries. Homemade bread. Rolls. I've even made pretzels on my stones. I <3 baking stones!

Usually has shortening in it. Yuck. You can make your own for cheap. It took a couple tries, but I finally found a great recipe (thanks to the recommendation of a friend). It's Peter Reinhart's Napoletana Pizza Dough and while the link will give you the jist of it, I recommend reading the whole instructions. I think it's in the Bread Baker's Apprentice.

Yeah, I like getting small, then getting creative. Always make my own sauce, based off canned whole tomatoes, into the chopper with what ever else seems to make sense at the time.

My fave currently is using 2 Mission tortilla wraps (pocketless pita works, too), sprinkle a little olive oil on each one and spread with a brush, preheat oven at 400 and toss on the racks while the oven preheats. Thinly slice up some red onion. Take the wraps out of oven before they get crispy, stack together, spread mozz cheese, then red onion and real bacon bits, then some more mozz and a little parma, a little italian seasoning and pop back in the oven until onions brown around the edges and the tortilla edges crisp up and turn a little brown. Getting small helps.

Getting ready for what is bound to be an interesting day at the office. The president of the CT State Senate is coming to my office this AM to hold a press conference about the importance of adult dental coverage for medicaid recipients :eek: If 10 or less people show, we're okay. If more than 10 show, our indoor press conference is going to become an outdoor press conference :eek: :eek: :eek:

Good luck!

Right now, looking up facts on Mexico City for my daughter. Her preschool class is taking a pretend flight there today. She's excited that they'll be eating quesadillas in class :lol:

About to leave the office and head home with what seems like the obligatory daily stop at the grocery store since certain members of my household can't seem to anticipate more than 2 minutes before they run out of an item that only THEY eat :rolleyes:

Should be fun tonight. Mount Snow is having a live online chat in their passholder's website chatroom tonight with their director of mountain ops. Gotta get a few of my geeky snowmaking questions ready that I haven't asked him over the last few years ;) :lol:
