I hope you have a working oven again soon, the pizza was delish. Because we are moving, we are trying to use up things in our refrigerator and cupboards, we had a pizza with a Kalamata olive spread, artichoke hearts and some interesting cheese. Sounds odd perhaps, but it was great...<BR/><BR/>I remember reading about Marie's Alsation Onion pizza, I will have to reread that right now...<BR/><BR/>StaceyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-83683626705764552342007-04-14T14:46:00.000-05:002007-04-14T14:46:00.000-05:00Stacey,The pizza sounds so delicious it makes my t...Stacey,<BR/>The pizza sounds so delicious it makes my tummy ache with wanting to make it!!!<BR/><BR/>Since I don't have a working oven, for now, I can only read and imagine! -- which I'm having a great time doing here.<BR/><BR/>After your question here, I went to the Bread Bible blog on the chance the recipe might have been reprinted online. It wasn't, but I enjoyed reading about some baking technique variations.<BR/> http://www.realbakingwithrose.com/2006/02/pizza_praise.html<BR/>You might enjoy reading that page too.<BR/><BR/>Then I did a search here and got to read Marie's entries for Potato Flatbread Pizza (8/20/06), Alsation Onion Pizza (4/02/06), and Sicillian Vegetable Pizza Roll (7/05/06). Oh, yum!<BR/><BR/>I so want an oven!<BR/><BR/>MarissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-15583569476293965242007-04-14T03:31:00.000-05:002007-04-14T03:31:00.000-05:00Where is Marie?

There is some bamboo flooring (that actually goes around the tub deck) sitting in our hallway for weeks and weeks. The other day I told my husband that I was just going to install it myself! And I'm afraid that we are not nearly so reticent about Calling Adam.

NOT. the appliances were installed the week previous, and the plumber arrived on friday to hook up the sink which would also activate the dishwasher. he did, and all was well. then we discovered a leak and called him back and he fixed that and all was well. well, except that the sink slowly filled with water after we used it. seems it had been out of use for so long, since mid february, that pipes and accumulated gunk were dry or whatever. we had an emergency plumbing visit on monday morning and they finally fixed it in time for arrival of guests on wednesday. hysteria ruled as i figured out how to use the new appliances and cook, bake etc with all the stuff for the first time with guests waiting expectantly.<BR/>of course we didn't have beautiful floors like yours, but glorious patches of old vinyl over plywood. it was stunning. :)jinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274997124184312649noreply@blogger.com
