The food threads about BLT's and Baby Back Ribs...and the other threads devoted to food...seem to highlight a common denominator unavailable in the political threads...a collegiality absent in those contentious "discussions."
So...in a move toward a more peaceful America...allow me to speak about...
...PIZZA made at home for the football games.
I buy the dough at the supermarket or at a pizza parlor ($2 - $3 tops). Making dough from scratch is fun...but a lot more work than it is worth.
I let the dough sit and rise...and then make the pizza. When forming the pizza dough, I try to stretch it as much as possible. A thin dough is, for me, a better pizza.
The one shown in the picture is with mushrooms (I love 'schrooms)...but sliced green pepper, sliced onions, sauteed eggplant, pepperoni, anchovies, and olives can all be used.
I use whole milk mozzarella...that I shred myself. Nothing expensive needed...in fact, fresh mozzarella often does not work as well as the cheaper varieties because it contains too much water.
The tomato sauce I prefer is canned stewed tomatoes, drained and crushed in a blender. I add a couple cloves of garlic while blending the tomatoes. A bit of oregano.
Chuck it in the oven at 425 for 10 minutes...turn it and give it an additional 10 minutes.
Ahhhh!
