Friends, I apologize for my radio silence over the past few days! The holiday season is moving fast and furiously now, and the watchword of this month has been Flexibility. We’ve had lots of parties to attend (and host), lots of fun traditions to uphold – to say nothing of our day jobs, which continue apace! The combination has left me very little time to blog, and I do apologize for that.
I knew tonight was going to be a laid-back evening, so last night I put together a batch of pizza dough for just such an occasion. When LeeLee called to say he was on his way home from the office, I flattened the dough into a pizza pan and baked it for about 12 minutes, then topped it with sauce, mozzarella cheese, chopped veggie burgers, and sliced mushrooms. I baked the pizza for another 14 minutes, let it rest for a minute or two after the fact, and then sliced it up!
In the meantime, we tossed a premixed salad teeming with kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and more; the combination of the fresh greens with the hearty pizza made a wonderfully complementary dish!
LeeLee and I have been packing meals away with a little more gusto than usual of late – tis the season and whatnot – so tonight we each only had a couple of slices of pizza, leaving us plenty for lunch tomorrow. Which works out really nicely, because for all the Christmas planning I’ve been doing, I didn’t have a thing worked out for our lunch! Pizza to the rescue – as always.
