Salt and peppers to taste.

Let the dough rise to your liking while upping the oven temp to 500 degrees.

You can remove the pizza from the pan and return to oven rack for additional baking if preferred.

Let cool slightly on a wire rack, slice and serve with cold beer.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

RING IN THE NEW WITH A PIZZA !

What better way to wash down a pizza !

It snowed in the afternnon to evening and the temps dropped making it a cold night. Renee provided transporation for lady as she didn’t want to brave the snow. I ended up watching the tube for most of the night and the others played games. Made up some dough and baked pizza. Diane made many side dishes and desserts. Champagne toast at midnight and we watched the motorcycle jump/ times square ball drop at midnight.

Diane didn’t have to work till 10 Am, I slept in and put the kitchen back in order and cleaned the office and shuffled up some paper work, yeah, tax time comming and also keeping an eye on the interest rate alerts from the mortgage company. we should be starting an on-lne app for a re fi soon. I have projects on the back burner for 2009 .Turntable sitting on the desk now and I have digitized some of the albums to harddisk/mp3 player (I have Justine’s old Zen player she has an Ipod) with many other albums in the cellar. Boxes of pictures/slides/VHS and Uncles Leos old home movies to convert “someday” (“Someday” is the new day that will be added to the week so we will be able to get everthing done!) Renee was looking at Craigs list for a DVD/VHS to tape her TV shows. She got one at Salvation Army but it wasn’t fully functional. L8tr pEtE
