Chris's Life

Pizza
Pizza

While it looked good, it didn't taste like much, unfortunately. On the plus side, I learned a few lessons:

  1. Make the pizza large enough to fit on the stone, and no larger

  2. add spices to the topping

  3. don't use watery fresh mozarella

  4. Don't make the pizza so large it falls off the side of the pizza stone

  5. Actually use corn meal, rather than wheat flour, to keep the pizza from sticking to the stone

  6. In fact, make the pizza small enough that there's some portion of the stone, however small, which is left uncovered.

  7. If you make way too much dough, only use some of it to make the pizza.

At least it was only bland and oversized, not bad. ;-)

This year's christmas haul
I figured that since a picture is worth a thousand words, and a thousand words would take more time than a picture, without giving me the chance to use my Mom's Nikon D70 more, I'd go with the picture route instead:


2004's Christmas haul


(note: only the stuff on the table (excluding the tablecloth, etc.) are my presents, the rest (e.g. the tiger) are just part of the room.)
