Every Snow (Part 4)…
Twice in one year! It’s been cold winter. Polar vortex and such, again. I guess that’s cyclical – the weakening of the polar vortex that allows cold air to push south. Something like that. Anyway, here’s the February snow:
Not as much as January, but a lot more than last year.

Pizzado: The Way of the Pizza
If even Netflix made a series on pizza chefs, you know that making pizza has to be more than a straightforward process. I keep trying, and get a little closer each time, but something’s always just a little…not quite. I’m my harshest critic, which means my approach is scientific. If I considered myself an artist, my criticisms would originate with others and I would hate everyone and do more drugs.
But this attempt wasn’t too bad. I liked the dough, which I can never crisp in an electric oven but I got the oil/water mix to a point where the result was flaky and just a little chewy. The sauce could have used some improvements. Oh well. I did like the sausage on it, which was my own creation.
I’ve also taking to mixing different white cheeses. It add some more flavor depth to an otherwise bland mozzarella. And I made the crust edge smaller this time.
