that's a nice pie


Meg and I make pizza together, from scratch, once a week. I used to make the crust but Meg makes the crust now, from bread flour, olive oil, and yeast. While she's doing that, I chop all of the vegetables and grate the cheese (all in all, it requries about a quarter brick of cheddar, pepperjack, whatever). Every now and then we grill up some barbecued chicken as a topping. We've got our timing down pretty good, so that by the time she finishes her task I've finished mine and, if we've remembered to preheat at the start, we can just pop the pizza into the oven and wait about twenty minutes. This is a cheap, delicious, reasonably healthy meal. A bottle of good red wine really puts it over the top.

Looks great! We made homemade pizza last night too, funny. Must be a "twin thing". Do you guys make the sauce, too?

We usually make sause from cans of tomatoe paste, and add tons of basil and oregano. Last night, however, we just brushed on a thin layer of barbecue sauce.
