Aw, yeah, I know how to make a damn fine pizza.



I am finding that good pizza takes a lot of practice. I keep trying different recipes--but the most successful one I've found for thin crust, like the one up there, is snagged from the back of one of those bullshit cozy mystery books I periodically shelve.* I did hit a bit of a snag when the recipe suggested that I use my portable brick pizza oven for best results. Uh, yeah. Look, I'm surprised I have a pizza stone.** But even with the recipes, it takes a lot of work.***

On the plus side, if my appetite for pizza continues, all this kneading is going to give me some serious Popeye forearms. Who'd have thought pizza could make you a badass? The Ninja Turtles were right all along.


*But didn't actually read, because cozy mysteries are Not My Thing.

**Also I have this, thanks to my brother. That's all I really need.

***Getting the darn thing from the paddle onto the stone, for example. Which is why I had the fight with the oven.

That looks good! So one of those recipes-inna-back works? I like a good cozy mystery for waiting room reading, but I find myself somewhat bewildered by these gimmick cozies.....it's not enough to have a witty amatuer sleuth and a decent whodunnit puzzle, now there has to be a craft project involved?

It worked for me! And I really can see the appeal of the recipes/crafts. I guess they assume they're aiming at people with these hobbies, and most folks with hobbies like to share tips, so it's added value.

My favorite gimmick cozy was entitled Death by Sudoku. It said it was the first in a series, but I never checked to see if any more came out ...
