Had my sister and her boyfriend over today for pizza and a game of Ticket to Ride. Once again we relied on Alton Brown’s dough recipe from his grilled pizza episode, although we made the pizza in the oven. Nearly killed my mixer making a double batch of dough because I forgot to use the paddle wheel to mix the ingredients before switching to the dough hook, but we got through it. Pattie and Alex got to laugh at me putting an ice pack on top of the mixer, the pizza was tasty, and we have leftovers.
We also just finished up a batch of pork tacos using the slow cooker recipe from Rick Bayless’s Mexican Everyday. I love this cookbook. Great salsa recipes. I’m trying to think of how to modify this recipe to make barbecue pork.
Not sure what the next major project will be, but it may be time for fried chicken before too long.
