Actually kinda proud of myself...Pizza

So, I know. Pizza is not that difficult. But I just don't really do pizza. Don't crave it, don't make it weekly, nothin' like that. But tonight I did. And Gabe was impressed. :-)

Since Rachael said she used Tammy's breadsticks recipe for a pizza crust, I did that. And I remembered something special from my Costco food court pizza making days: I docked the dough :-) I used my meat holder cutter thingamobob. It worked good. ;-)


And just so you know, don't knock the food court workers. They make just as much as most anyone else in there, so don't feel sorry for them. They start out at $10+/hr too! (We had this conversation at work last week-- the supervisor got a pity party from someone, and she desperately wanted to retort that "thanks, but I do make $**/hour, so no thanks!") And hey, now I know how to dock a pizza so I don't get air pockets...valuable time I tell ya...


Anyway, so I used my homemade pizza sauce, courtesy of Tammy again (she's a goldmine of good recipes too!) And loaded it up with grilled chicken, tomatoes on my side, and pineapple on Gabe's. Here's a before-oven pic:


And an after-already-been-consumed pic:

No, the tomatoes weren't actually green. They were yellow, and yummy. It was the camera...


It was good. I will admit that, from a non-pizza craver. And boy, apparently I am overdoing myself. Gabe said I made two "better than usual" meals today. The other one was chicken fried rice for lunch (I did it Karalee! I actually followed the directions and it turned out good! Woo Hoo! ;-) Maybe I'd better slow down, otherwise when the funky prego smell issues turn up, we'll all starve.....

Yum yum yum!! Now I wish I was making the crust for our pizza tonight (which we usually do!). Anyway, did I mention that we are due on the same exact day!!??? How fun is that?! :) I am sure our mommies will have lots to talk about:)
