à la bouche

while not pining over montreal, i have been busily brushing up on the habits and rituals of the elusive and wily "english-man" through many hours of bbc america while enjoying delicious organic beer.

tonight there was nothing veggie to eat in the house. i had been promised pizza, let down and decided to take matters into my own hands.

pantry pizza

crust : half-assed. pizza dough is pretty forgiving of such things. just throw together like 1 1/2 tsp of yeast, around a cup of water, 2.5-3.5 cups of flour, some olive oil, sea salt [and herbs, if that's your bag], knead her up, rise anywhere from 30 mins to 2.5 hours and roll her out. done.

topped : some generic store sauce, lovely fresh local mozzarella that mysteriously materialized in the fridge, sun-dried tomatoes, sauteed onions/fresh garlic, [dried and reconstituted] wild maine mushrooms and peppercinis. mmmh.

no picture because I'M JUST NOT GOOD AT TAKING PICTURES OF FOOD YET. there.

froze 1/2 the dough and have 1/2 a pizza left for tomorrow. nom nom nom.
