This week my sister officially graduated with her Masters in Rhetoric and Composition, while working full time. Yay, sister!
How many other people are graduating? Or hit a milestone – huge or small – this weekend?
While we still have not done a major celebration for her, we did do a few things this weekend and once the summer starts I will arrange a BBQ or something as well. For now, she had to deal with just getting Homemade Pizza and some extra chocolate, chocolate chip cookies. I am going to tweak the recipe for the cookies some more before I post them, but the pizza crust recipe is at the end of the post.
Other than that, we visited Tod’s family, and I edited/commented on Tod’s homebrew RPG. I am trying to convince him to expand on the setting. (He wants to save writing settings when we do RPGs for our story universes.) We will see. I have a feeling this assignment will come back to haunt me.
Tod did all the many chores (lawn and garden, thank you Tod), and I still need to catch up to him on that front
Roses to deadhead
Laundry to do
I like my cats fluffy
How about you?
Tonight, we will work on the novel a little. I wrote myself up a tree, but I am not sure it is the right tree. However, I liked the climb up. Now, I am like a cat stuck in a tree. Tod is going to helpfully provide a ladder down from the tree and directions back to the path, per his usually sensible/practical decisions.
Hope everyone is hitting the milestones, but not tripping on them!
Happy Sunday.
Pizza Crust Recipe Variant
Gluten-Free, Vegan*, spicy seasoned Pizza Crust
— my crust tends to vegan sort of by accident, but the pizza not so much.
Here is the basic crust recipe
Dry ingredients
1/2 cup chickpea flour
1/8 cup hazelnut flour
1 Teaspoon flex seed flour
1 1/2 cup cassava flour
1/2 cup parsnip flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon of rosemary ground
1/2 teaspoon of thyme ground
1/2 teaspoon of oregano
1 teaspoon of garlic
1/4 red pepper flakes
Wet ingredients
1/2 cup avocado oil
3/4 cup water
2 egg or egg replacements – I use Red Mills Egg replacement.
Mix dry in one bowl. Wet in another. Then add dry into wet.
We like making individual sized pizza using my tart pans. So I usually dish them out to fit tart pans which are about 6 inches across. Flatten the dough and crimp the edges and pre-bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 F. Then you add your toppings and cook again.
Don’t skip the pre-bake and if you are going to add lots of sauce go for 25 minutes on the pre-bake.
Then do your own pizza toppings.
