Yummy in my tummy. That's right. I said it.

It's been a while. Does anyone still read this?

Anyway, I just made a glorious pizza. Basic pizza dough, with homemade pasta sauce on top, a slices of fresh mozzarella, followed by chopped spinach that had been sauteed with garlic, and topped with a whole container of feta. Yum.

Dessert: I'm whipping up a batch of gingerbread people. I made soft gingerbread cookies a while ago and LOVED them but the hubby prefers a harder ginger snap or ginger person, so I'm giving this recipe a go. The dough is sitting in the fridge until morning, so we'll see what happens then.

While cooking, you should listen to archived episodes of This American Life so you're never left waiting for the next week's episode to come out as a podcast. Wonderful public radio.

Enjoy your weekend, mystery readers!

Hi Sarah. Here's the pizza recipe! :)

Add 1 tsp of yeast to a cup and a half of warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let that sit for about 10 minutes.

Put 4 cups of bread flour in a bowl. Make a well in it, add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Leave it in a floured bowl (covered with a damp cloth) to rise for 1 1/2 hours.

Make pizza! Once you've added topics (I use green and red peppers and onions or artichoke hearts and red onions), cook it on an oiled cookie sheet at 425 for 15-20 minutes.
