second time

I posted this last night. Blogger posted it 2 times. Today I tried to delete the copy and it deleted both. So now i'm writing it again. But it probably won't be as funny.

Sunday night I had a Pizza Party. The only people invited were Me and Peter. Peter's brother Fuzzy showed up right on time to crash our pizza party. He's lucky I like him. And we had enough pizza for three. The first pizza is spread with my basil-miso pesto and topped with crispy mushrooms with thyme and sage and sliced marinated sundried tomatoes. The second pizza is spread with my sundried tomato-almond pesto and topped with broccoli rabe sauteed with garlic and pine nuts. I couldn't decide which one I liked better. Whichever one was in my mouth at the time was my favorite. The same with Peter. Fuzzy said the mushroom was the best. What does he know. I had so much fun making this pizza. The dough is a recipe from school it's The Pizza Police's Favorite Pizza Dough. The story is that these lady's from italy came over to nyc to find the best pizza dough. This was deemed the best. It's my favorite even though it's the only dough i've made. In school I lucked out and got to make this one and it was better then the other recipes that everyone else got stuck with. I might be just biased though.

This was monday's dinner. A whole foods grain veggie burger "sandwiched" between garlicky chard and melted red onions. As a side I roasted baby red potatoes in olive oil. When there was about 5-10 minutes of cooking time left on the potatoes I threw in some chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest from one lemon. These are now my new favorite potatoes to make and eat. I wish I had extra but I only made enought for the two of us.

On Sunday I also made Vive's Coconut Lime Cookies for the first time. I didn't follow the recipe exactly because I was having too much fun singing and dancing around to the new Killers CD so i'm not sure if they came out how they were meant to. I loved them anyway. They were so limey and coconuty. I'm in love. The next time I promised myself that I would be a good baker and follow the recipe. The next time prolly being this weekend. :)

I also made Seitan on sunday. So much cooking. This is the seitan from VwaV. After I mixed the seitan all up and was getting the broth ready I realized that I used up all the tamari that i needed. So I made a broth out of water, veg broth and red wine. Hence the wine color of the seitan. It smelled so good while cooking. I hope it taste as good as it smelled. I'm sure it will. Whenever I make seitan i alway's slice 1/2 into "steaks" and cube the rest and freeze some of it. I just realized this sunday that I alway's freeze the steaks and leave the cubes to be used first. I'm sure there is some sorta psychological problem associated with this.

That's it. Retyped for the second time. If blogger fucks this up again someone will die. Have a nice day!
