Another recipe.

Sorry again.  I'm just not feeling it tonight so I'm going to cheat and give you a pizza recipe.  Originally this was put in the family reunion cookbook of 2003.  I just realized that shortly after this I met the lady that I feel in love with and married.  Here it is.

Dear Mom,
Here's the pizza recipe.

In the US tacos are considered lunch or dinner food.  However, in Mexico they are considered forms of construction.  I think the same of pizzas.  Pizzas have three primary parts:  base, sauce, and toppings.  This "recipe" is more along the lines of making you look at something different.  If you make a pizza with onions, bell peppers, scrambled eggs, and ham, topped with cheese and you have a breakfast pizza.  If you make a pizza with a light dough crust, put some pesto on it for the sauce, add artichoke hearts, tomato slices, black olives, mushrooms, and coat it with a combination of provolone and feta cheese then you have a tasty veggie meal.  If you use phyllo dough or a pie crust, put some chocolate syrup or strawberry sauce on it, top with a variety of different items:  chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, sponge or pound cake crumbles, chopped fruit or even raisins.  Top this off with whipped cream or marscapone cheese and you have dessert.  If you want to try something unusual (good way to impress a date) try a thin but chewy crust.  Make your normal dough then fold it and flatten about five times.  When the dough is cooking use a skewer to pop the air bubbles that will rise.  Top it with garlic butter sauce then put on some chopped crab or lobster.  Also use those little shrimp about the size of a nickel for the visual appeal.  Sprinkle some crumbled feta and shredded parmesan or provolone and you're done.  After you cook it, of course.  Have fun and don't be afraid to experiment.
