Living in a rather remote area, the nearest Pizza joint is 14 miles away.
Larry's is a great place if you are in the area
Good specialty slices, under glass, ready to heat up.
Larry's Pizza, not sure of the name, LARRYS
The price of these slices makes them even more mouth watering.
Get this, name the toppings, they have them all.
Multiple topings same price.
Ready, 2 slices with a 120z. fountain drink to go, $4.67 and that includes sales tax @ .o8%

No brainer, in the area, stop in for a couple of slices.

The human body needs a good slice every now and then, or

which occurs a few times a month

The other option is my entry for #fff for this week.
MAKE YOUR OWN DAM PIZZA

Brown up some chop meat, beef or turkey,
had some beef in the frig.
chop up some green bell peppers and sweet vadalia onions.

season with black peppercorn, sea salt, and oregano

Oregano comes from our garden

Our homemade maple syrup is used as our sweetner to neutralize the acids in the tomatoes.
We have been substituting processed sugar with maple syrup, in all of the recipes that call for sugar.
In the beginning, this took a little trial and error to establish a ratio.

add plain low salt tomato sauce

stir, add Parmesan cheese, simmer for at least an hour

roll out the thin crust pizza dough onto a baking stone
a cookie sheet works in place of a stone

Being at the helm of preparing this meal does have its advantages, no

Sorry wrong chore, the dishes have been cleaned up as we go, and guess who's lap that falls into?
with me sweating bullets
laboring over the hot stove
this is a job for the helper. 馃憤馃憤馃憤

I told you wearing this
had its advantages!!

spread around the sauce

top with a very healthy dose of mozzarella cheese
I always wear nail polish when making pizza, it adds to the festivities of pizza making.

with #sivehead getting away with this," Yeap! - I voted for myself," I figured it was worth a try

bake at 425 degrees for 20/25 minutes
This is where the sweating bullets comes in
standing over the stove patiently waiting for the darn thing to cook.
I'm not sure why I used a timer
I was all over that pie
starting at about the 10 minute mark
the oven door was open more than it was closed
major heat blasts to the face

IMG_1777.JPG

FINALLY READY TO CHOW DOWN
Just a final note, leave the oven door closed the entire time and the pizza will be done in about half the time,
it was kind of like watching water boil.

The salad was left over from the previous night's meal, and was a nice side

composition of salad, organic baby spinach, hard boiled organic eggs, roasted cauliflower, homemade creamy Parmesan cheese dressing

Yeah, I wipped up the salad the night before

my face is starting to tingle, here we go again

Hope you enjoyed! thebigsweed
