last week we had my parents over for some pizzas. and i actually made this recipe ... the one that i have been meaning to make since i started this endeavor. it was really good! the recipe made enough for three pizzas and i just threw the leftover dough in the freezer.
my folks really like shrimp pizza. so i made one for them (with a quarter of it pepperoni) and then made a mushroom and green/red pepper pizza...half of it with olives.
both were delicious, and we seriously enjoy sharing meals with our families....even though they complain our house is too cold.
this week's pizza was roasted potatoes and caramelized red onions with a white sauce and feta cheese. a tad on the dry side but still pretty tastey. i think it would have been better with a red sauce.
i made everything from scratch, always forgetting how easy a white sauce is to make: butter, garlic, half and half, and parmesan cheese, and a little bit of flour to thicken.
lying in bed i thought of drizzling with balsamic vinegar after the pizza was baked. that probably would have given it more moisture.
this sunday we are off to europe to see what it's all about (i've never been there, todd has a couple of times); and to see my dearest brother and his family! so we'll be finding a pizza place and substituting that for the one or both weeks. bon voyage!
