Scrump-dilli-icious


We were invited to longtime neighbors of ours for the fourth of July. They served up some wicked awesome grilled pizza.

Before that, we had never had it. As we sat at their table and chairs on the deck, chit chatting and munching on chips and deliciously homemade guacamole, Joe prepared tasty pizza after pizza for us.

Thin, hot off the grill tasting crust, topped with a homemade oven-roasted tomato sauce! Then...and then...globs of melted mozzarella (not the boring shredded stuff) plopped here and there, in between the red peppers, mushrooms and sliced pepperoni. He also made some with sausage and onion and other with feta cheese and spinach. Oh-my-goodness.

I had to have the recipe immediately.

That is what is on the menu for today's dinner here at the homestead.

I'm making the dough and sauce before I head off to work this morning.

Don't try and sneak into my backyard, say around 6ish.

As Rachel Ray would say, Yum-O.

Rachel Ray, as in the chef, not our Rachie. Is that who you thought?

Part II to Scrump-dilli-icious:

I took my large bowl of dough to work and its in my car rising! Isn't that a riot? I need to punch it down in two hours and form 8 new balls of dough. Talk about multi-tasking!

Oh, and I oven-roasted the tomato sauce. Did my kitchen ever smell good this morning. Chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes and olive oil. *sigh*

oh oopsy, I mistakenly thought it was our Rachie you were talking about...didn't see the "ray" by it......LOL

Anyhoooo.....maybe that is an indication that Rachie, our rachie will be a chef someday...Hee hee, or second thought.... maybe not!

P.S. Does your boss know that you are punching down dough on company time...better get some pizza's ready for him as a bribe!
