Whole Wheat Pizza


 I hadn't made pizza in awhile, it is similar to making pie, but for some reason it is more fun for me.  This one is covered with salami and fresh basil.  It is whole wheat too.

It occurred to me that skills have to be practiced, then you get better.  Pizza making is a definite skill.  This time I remembered to crimp the edges of the pizza.

Moon just after DST time change, Spam and Gmail


 I took this moon photo last Wednesday at about 7.30 am, just a few days after the DST time change.

My spam folder has been full of at least a hundred messages per day, do  you clear yours?  Some have been genuine comments from as far back as 2010!

Well I finished clearing out old gmail messages, it was a marathon few weeks.  I had gotten a storage warning, since I started using Gmail back in 2006 it seems.  I am down from over 10,000 messages to over 3,000 now.  I have not looked at my sent folder, apparently that also counts.

And welcome to Spring, apparently it arrives at 5.24 pm this evening!

Pecorino

I found some pecorino cheese at Walmart which the spaghetti carbonara recipe calls for, so I tried it.  It is very similar in taste to parmigiano reggiano.

I posted here on spaghetti carbonara recently.

Weekend get together


 We met daughter L and her husband at their local East Side Mario's restaurant last weekend.  They serve lovely warm bread as soon as you are seated!

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Grayscale and Simple Tortillas


 For the dinner portion of Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date, I made these simple tortillas based on this King Arthur Flour recipe I got from one of my sisters.  I decided to do whole wheat ones.  I found them easy to make.

For the Art Date, here is my 'Grayscale' ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").
