PIZZA
ok. i’m trying something new. i’ve uploaded a lot of pictures to make a pizza quilt… and if you want to see them better you should be able to click on them and get a slightly bigger version. i’m interested to see how this looks… i’ve been having an awesome time making pies this weekend. when i got back from new york, jeff cooked the pies that friday night and i hurt my finger pretty badly (smashed it in a door) and so i let josh cook saturday night last week and i wore a bandage and glove and just made pies. but this weekend jeff was graduating and so i ended up cooking both nights. since i was in new york and saw how hot their ovens were and how quickly they cooked, i decided to crank up the ovens 25 degrees and just pay close attention. man, was it ever fun. not only did the pies get as crispy or crispier than ever, but they cooked a lot faster. with the ovens so full and me having the doors open so much, i think we need the extra heat on the weekends and it helps us move the pies faster too, it just takes some extra focus and skill. this weekend it seemed like the pies were better then ever. i don’t know if it was the hotter ovens or just that i was well rested and happy about the holidays but i’ve never seen such great looking pies in my life. so tonight, saturday, at about 8:30, i finally decided to get out the camera and get some pictures. now, these are just a few of the pies coming out at the end of our weekend. i realized that there may be some people reading the blog who haven’t even been to the pizza place and so some pictures would be helpful. i talked to a pizza man a couple weeks back who has a shop in georgia and he found our website and said he had read the blog. so, here’s some pictures… it might look to some outsiders like our pies are too loaded with toppings and i might agree if they weren’t still so crispy. nobody likes a soggy pie and so loading them down and keeping them crispy is a great combination. anyway, i was very excited to cook some great food this weekend. there was a graduation at UF so i know we fed some graduates and their families, and with the holidays here, i know we fed some out of town visitors as well.
we’re always trying new stuff. this week it’s thumbnail photos and hotter ovens.
go ahead, click on some of the thumbnails and look at the close-ups. you can see all the toppings… look at that steak and cheese calzone. check out those slices.
