Wow! I can't believe how time flies-- really flies. I haven't been here for a couple of years and I've been missing writing and posting food. But sometimes life does get in the way of doing other things; in my case, first of all, we moved! But before we could move we needed to get rid of stuff-- a lot of stuff! Downsize is the word. So, we took one year to go through everything we owned and had accumulated for the past 30 some years, and divvied it all up between boxes (lots of boxes): keep, sell, give away. This was very emotionally difficult-- so many memories, stories, pictures, and lots of tears. But we got through it and now we are settled in a new, small townhouse which we both love! Our forever home.
So, I was ready to begin my new life in our sweet home and nice neighborhood conveniently located to all our favorite shopping areas, when I fell. Fell hard. Broke my hip and had to have a total hip replacement. This was not fun. Do not try at home. I'm still recovering but I'm anxious and ready to begin anew with lots of cooking and also taking a Gordon Ramsay online cooking class. Lobster ravioli looks amazing! And that Beef Wellington... all I can say is Wow! And hope I can do it. But first, I'm back to developing the best pizza I can make! After not having an oven for 2 years, this is so satisfying, I just can't tell you. I will be back to thin crust pizzas, but for right now, I'm researching everything I can about the Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Friday, I will try a copycat Lou Malnati recipe (why don't they just give us the real recipe? :) ). Let's see, no cornmeal, AP flour only, and corn oil, oh, and a very long rising time. I can do this.
