Fruit Pizza

John was having a guest over for dinner one night a while ago and asked me to make a special dessert. I wanted to try my hand at a fruit Pizza. I love to make the patterns on fruit pizzas. I made a batch of sugar cookies, rolled it all out into one giant, lopsided cookie and baked it on my trusty baking stone. Then I made a cream cheese frosting and began the fun. What do you think?

Funny Coincidence

LaChelle and I thought it was funny when she showed up with Peter dressed in Levi overalls just like Glen. but it was even better when Angelina came down to say that Enoch was also wearing Levi overalls. Typical mom's, we couldn't resist getting a picture or two, or three or four. How funny that we all dressed our kids the same without planning it. Two is cool, but three is great.

Experiment 626

I would never make...more then one

Tonight John asked me to make something "really healthy and really filling" for dinner. I had planned on pizza, I needed a new plan. Not having a plan B I set out in search of a suitable meal to throw together. Thus began the experiment. I threw together ingredients I hoped would make a passable wheat dough, boiled some chicken and broccoli, mixed up an Italian white sauce, rolled it all up with a bit of cheese, and sprinkled Parmesan and parsley over it. Then I slipped it in the oven on my trusty baking stone and hoped it would turn out. 30 minutes later my creation came to life. I call it CBC Stuffed Bread. (Chicken Broccoli Cheddar) Now the taste test. On a scale from 1-10 John gave it a 9.98, you don't think he is biased or anything, do you?

John did say that he would prefer the crust soft, but I prefer it crunchy so that is a difference of opinion. I also think I should have used less Italian seasoning and it little more salt.
The problem with throwing together an experiment is that I didn't really measure...anything, so I do not have the recipe anywhere but my head. I have a lot of recipes like that. There are so many that I make until it looks right, or I add ingredients until it feels right, others that I season until it smells right. And that is the mark of a true genius...or a real weirdo, your choice.
