What's For Dinner?

[warpedskydiver 0]

I am making homemade pizzas.

Made the dough myself:

4 cups semolina flour
1 1/4 tsp yeast
1/8 tsp sugar
2tbl sea salt
1/2cup water at 105F
1/2 cup room temp water
3tbl Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Combine the 105F water and yeast, let sit for 5 min, then stir.

add the sugar to the yeast/water combo and put it in a warm spot (dishwasher after the dishes were just done w/heated dry) Careful not too hot!

Then remove the water/yeast after 15 min and stir in olive oil.

Add the room temp water.

Then combine 4 cups flour into the stand mixer bowl

Using the paddle run mixer at lowest speed.

Add Salt.

Slowly add water/yeast/sugar/olive oil mixture to the flour mixture.

When the flour mixture begins to form large flakes, remove paddle and use dough hook.

Run mixer slowly until the dough pulls away from the sides, and then two more minutes.

Remove dough ball and knead on a floured surace 4 min.

Let dough rise in a lightly oiled bowl (olive oil) covered with a clean cloth, 1hr.

Preheat oven to 350F

Using a black iron skillet, brush inside with olive oil.

Roll out dough large enough for the pan size, or form by hand.

Brush surface of crust with olive oil, lightly smear minced fresh garlic onto the crust.

Ladle on some crushed tomato, sprinkle on basil, and oregano.

Place cheese on pizza, (mozzarella, (optional:provolone, pecorino romano, parmigiano reggiano)

Add your choice of: Minced sun dried tomato, thinly sliced sweet pepper (any color), italian sausage that has been lightly browned, spinach, or whatever you like.

Bake in oven 15-20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and has a few brownish spots.

EAT LIKE SOMEONE IS COMING AFTER YOU!!!

I also used Italian Sausage that I made from a deer I shot myself.

Rainbo helped me process it.

He is my hunting partner

No Semolina flour in the crust recipe? AMATEUR.

Chicken nuggets (4), onion rings (4), and some coffee/heath bar ice cream (1/4 cup).

Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

Hot wings and birthday cake.

My son is 11 on Saturday. Can't believe it! And he still loves a good hug, even if his friends are around. He says "I love you, mom," and he's not embarrassed if I blow him a kiss when I drop him off at school. He gets a little big for his britches sometimes, but all kids hafta have some room to grow.

Um. I had a beer.

Heck you could have blown someone, and at least gotten protein in there with the carbs.

Steak of course. A beautiful 2" thick ribeye, nicely marbled, with a large amount of "dessert" (the really marbled part around 2 sides of a ribeye...the bigger the better). Also garlic roasted potato wedges, asparagus covered with melted cheddar, and some nice wine.

With my birthday being on Christmas Eve (despite whatever Frenchy says), it's never been that big of a deal to me. As a small child, Christmas was my favorite holiday, but by puberty I'd come to prefer Halloween more, and that stuck. For more than two decades, that is. Last year I suspected the top honor might have changed and today I can confirm it has. March 20 has well surpassed Halloween and is now by far my favorite holiday. Have I mentioned how much my girlfriend rocks?
