Friday Night - Pizza!

I don't know why anyone would order pizza from Pizza Hut or Domino's. We've been making pizza like this the whole year, and it absolutely trumps anything you can order for delivery. Aside from tasting better, a can of dough, marinara, and cheese is way cheaper than ordering a pizza of equivalent size. We also tried something new this time, by glazing the dough with an olive oil-garlic mixture and sprinkling basil and oregano over the crust and sauce. Washing it down with a locally brewed stout with Fair Trade coffee roasted blocks away, this was a great Friday pizza night.

Now, as this blog is also about food sources, it seems appropriate to address that aspect for this meal. We used a can of Pillsbury dough, a jar of Prego marinara, and a bag of cheese. As we were devouring our delectable pizza, Amanda and I decided that making our own dough from scratch would be infinitely more rewarding than having to get the dough from who-knows-where. I also would enjoy making my own tomato sauce, but it is difficult to think of things such as using fresh, local produce in central Wisconsin in the dead of winter. We're definitely committed to making positive changes in our diet, and the first step is to recognize what needs changing.
