For the most part, I haven't "dumbed down" the process, but I have strayed slightly from my usual routine in a few places to make things a little easier for beginners. I experiment with pizza dough on a daily basis, so I could add many dozens of additional pizza pages (if I wasn't so freakin' lazy). For example: Lately I've been using a naturally leavened starter instead of yeast, so my recent dough consists only of flour, water, and salt. Nothing else. (Oh, and it's real good.) Maybe I'll get around to creating some new pages someday. Anyway, I hope someone finds my pizza page helpful.

But we did consider doing the Trini green seasoning thing, but that is a story in itself worth blogging.

I would love a piece right about now. I also tried brining my turkey. It came out really REALLY good. I altered his recipe a little though, adding some Trini staples - shadon beni and green seasoning - you know the bundle they sell in the market that you grind up with pimentos and garlic? Everyone who tasted my turkey wanted to know how I got it to be o juicy. The meat was literally falling off the bone!!! Dee:) That pizza looks so yummy!!!! I would love a piece right about now.

Statcounter announced a wordpress plugin. I activated it last night and then could not log in to my wordpress admin at all. I didn't even see your comment until after I deleted the plugin from the server. I kept getting the same error when I tried to log in. Sigh. Maybe if I posted more regularly, I would be ontop of these administrative errors... Thanks Bee. Statcounter announced a wordpress plugin.

Haven't ever tried making a white sauce pizza though. The most interesting pizza I've eaten was at Antonio's in Amherst, Massachussetts when Lilandra was studying there - pizza with tortilla chips and guacamole was delicious. You could get pizza with tortellini. Yum. If a bit high on the starch content. <b>Hélène</b> - hi and welcome! Yes, pizza-making is on the cards for this weekend for me too, as there's no real pizza in Guyana.

I am not too sure how much the dill affected the taste. The main problem I had in making consistent dough was using the same amount of flour and water every time. I never liked ketchupy sauce and I know some people like barbecue sauce on their pizza but I don't. The best pizza I ever had was from Lou Melnati in Chicago (http://www.loumalnatis.com/) and I would share their recipe but i don't have it yet :) I am going to give the chennette recipe a try.
