It feels like it's been a long week. Monday, institute day with Google training and report cards. The rest of the week, trying to fit so many things in before spring break, which starts in one week. We have to get those tests in before the kids take a week off and forget everything! And they're already antsy because they know the break is coming.
So now it's Friday evening and I'm making homemade pizza and brownies. I accidentally discovered that if you turn off the oven in the middle of baking your brownies, they are even more delicious than if the oven was on the whole time! Who knew! Fancy stove - I thought I was turning off the timer and instead I turned off the heat.
That won't be a successful strategy with the pizza though. I love making and eating homemade pizza. The dough is really not hard to make and so much better than pre-made crusts. I make vegetable pizza, being a vegetarian, and tonight I'm going to see if the new, high-end dairy-free mozzarella is any good. I have tried other dairy-free cheeses and have always been disappointed. I'm lactose intolerant, so pizza is always an issue. It's not done yet, so I guess I'll post an update in the comments about the cheese.
Wishing everyone a happy Friday!
It sounds like a delightful Friday night! There's something so satisfying about making the meal yourself! I hope the new cheese discovery was a good one!
ReplyDeleteThe cheese was pretty good! The problem with most fake cheeses is they don't melt and they have an unpleasant aftertaste. This one (Miyoko's Creamery) tasted pretty decent and melted beautifully. It did not have the texture of a real mozzarella, though. Oh well, you can't have it all.

ReplyDeletePizza and brownies! What a delicious ending to the week and beginning to the weekend. I'm intrigued by your discovery that turning off the oven midway makes for even more delicious brownies. I may just have to try that!
