Outdone

Well, I have to say that I outdid myself yesterday, possibly for the worst, by trying a pizza from scratch for the first time on my first sort-of recovered day from tonsillitis. Problem is that I'm feeling exhausted and a bit worse today after yesterday's errands and long dinner preparation. SB did a lot of the work but the sudden shift to so much time on my feet left me out cold by about 8:30pm (while watching Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou -- our fav. I should add that Cricket slept right on my chest as I dozed!).

Anyway -- a very delicious pizza, though! The crust even turned out despite adding more flour than the recipe called for and despite completely making up pizza sauce off the top of our heads using tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, and basil. On the pizza: mushrooms, garlic, red onions, shallots, chicken, zucchini and red pepper. SUCCESS, so long as I keep getting better. I have two more days of an antibiotic left (hence less cheese on my side of the pizza -- most dairy is not allowed) and am not feeling as well as I had hoped. Please oh please do not let the abscess return. Now, to catch up on a week's worth of homework in this sleepy and sore state. Boo.
