Last night was pizza and margaritas. I'm starting to get the shape better. I think this was one of the closest to round yet.Yesterday was another day to not follow my initial plan - at least for the morning. After breakfast I decided to put off planting the bamboo. My upper back was way too sore from digging all those potatoes the other day, so I got a bunch of hand weeding done instead and then headed for the studio where I continued putting things away. I got the seconds off the ware cart and into boxes, sorted through a lot of other small items, did a few other chores, then came in and made some marinated eggplant crostinis for our lunch.
After lunch I got started on my pizza dough, got the toppings all prepped then back outside to pull more weeds. After dinner we watched the Brit coms (our Saturday night ritual), while I went through some of my pot sketches.
This morning I spent a lot of time printing out a bunch of recipes from Top Chef, Master Chef show, and others. Now it's time to get Bonnie kitty and head for the studio. This mornings job is to move those bottles of oxide washes and slips, which I didn't have time for yesterday. After lunch I think I'll just relax, read the Sunday papers and watch the tennis while I do more paper work.
Dinner is gumbo that I had in the freezer, so I'll just make some cornbread to go with it.
the pizza looks great no matter how you make it. As for Brit coms they rule. my favorite is "are you being served"? And my peppers are sprouting yahooo...lol
ReplyDeleteI actually found some "Are You Being Served" episodes on you tube! Our local PBS airs them way too late - around midnight. Periodically, I rent them from Netflix - even bought a dvd of a couple of them. Our other favorites are "As Time Goes By", and "Waiting for God".
ReplyDeleteYes I agree from a NY Italians point of view, namely mine, ur pizza shape is shaping nicely, u could even try silician style June, its rectangle shape, and much more doughier in the crust.
ReplyDeleteAs time goes by is that the one with dame judi dench?
ReplyDeleteJay, Jim love thin crust pizza and so do I. Isn't it Chicago pizza that has the thicker crust?
ReplyDeleteYes, the Dame Judi Dench one. I think it's probably our favorite of the Brit coms - not as hilariously funny and campy as "Are You Being Served", but a lovely, adult,relationship with the usual comedic overtones.
ReplyDeletewhich one of the brit coms has the the lady who has next door neighbors trying to avoid her every time she says hello to her????
ReplyDeleteKeeping Up Appearances. Jim hates that show - usually leaves the room when it comes on! LOL
ReplyDeleteJune, Chicago pizza is served like Pizza Hut Pizza, in a pan, with the cheese on the bottom, meat and other toppings in between and sauce on the top, and yes the dough is thicker.
ReplyDeleteIts nice to know u and Jim like thin crust as much as I do, when living in NY for a good 17 years then moving to Oviedo Florida, the thought of NY pizza is always on my mind, lol.
