But truth be told it is soooo low-fat that it tastes like cardboard (which I compensate for by the liberal use of Lee & Perrins Worcestershire sauce before cooking!)

When I do go off the reservation and eat junk food such as pizza, I like to control the ingredients that’s in said food. Which brings me around to my delicious pizza of which 2 of the 3 “secret” ingredients are found at Costco – Kirkland’s organic stewed tomatoes and Coastal Rugged Mature Cheddar Cheese from England.

The other secret ingredient is the use of bread dough for the crust because it tastes like fresh baked bread. IMO, crust is usually the weak link in pizza and a good tasting, memorable crust really rounds out the taste of a pizza. Plus, thawing a pound or 2 of frozen premade bread dough is very, very, easy.

Considering how the game turned out am I now required to make something like this before every game? Have I been food-superstitionized?

(Btw, speaking of blueberries, I have found that if every day I drink a glass of fresh blueberry juice in the morning that’s been blenderized in my Nutribullet with Splenda added, I feel very good for some reason. Maybe my diet is poor in vitamin K? Just food, or should I say juice, for thought …)

Next weekend is Thanksgiving in Canada so there were discussions about where and when the family supper will occur. All I know for certain is there will be turkey and for that I am grateful.

But you realize you are going to have to go eat with the in-laws every week until the Steelers lose…

The garden is almost completely exhausted for the year. Just a couple of squashes and a few small green tomatoes left to deal with.

If I was cooking it would probably have been lentils, green peas and onions in a spicy green curry sauce (with extra garlic and fresh ginger) served on a bed of rice. Simple, tasty and easy to prepare in advance.

I woke up this morning in the mood to cook stuff so I have a pound of ground venison thawed. I’m going to go cook it soon and top it with Anaheim pepper, Swiss cheese, tomato, onion.

Yesterday I cooked some garlicky/dilly bread that I made from a 1 pound frozen bread dough. I let it raise and cooked in a square 9 x 9″ glass pan so it’s only about 3 inches tall and will make a delicious sandwich bun.

I was so impressed with the bread last night that I’m thawing another one. I just made a delicious homemade pizza sauce because later I’m going to make a four cheese deep dish pizza – 1/2 mozzarella and the other half equal parts aged cheddar, Havarti, and Swiss cheese spread in separate concentric rings on top of the sauce. I’m going to put onion, pasilla peppers, and pepperoni on top. I grated the cheese earlier so once the bread is ready I just have to load it up and cook it.

I can’t wait! Mainly for the Steelers but also for the food!

I could I suppose adjust a nacho to fit in there somehow.
