I had some leftover pork roast that I pulled from the freezer, rice and brussels sprouts.

That's a nice looking pizza, Mike.

Thanks, I think I'm getting the hang of transferring it from the peel to the baking steel without it getting a weird non-round shape to it. It was tasty: my homemade marinara, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, yellow sweet peppers, green olives, pepperoni, mozzarella, cream cheese and romano cheese. We cut it into 6 pieces, one piece per meal, so this will do 3 meals for each of us.

We had tuna melts topped with half of a cherry tomato and sharp provolone cheese. I put a little pickle juice in with the mayonnaise. I also add a little chopped carrot and celery salt.

My wife got two hydroponic tomatoes from the hydroponics lab at work, so we're having tuna melts tonight.

I build my pizza on parchment paper. That makes it easy to slide onto the peel. Then I wiggle the entire thing (with the parchment) onto the baking stone. I set a timer for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes I slide the peel under the pizza to hold it in place and used a gloved hand to pull out the parchment. The pizza finishes directly on the stone. This procedure works best with a steel peel.

I've been putting cornmeal on the peel then putting the pizza dough on it, making sure it slides around.

I got a pie dough rolling bag from King Arthur recently, and it works really well for both pizzas and pie crusts, you put the dough in the transparent 14" bag, dust both sides with a little flour, zip it closed, then roll it out through the plastic. Circles imprinted on one side of the bag help you get it to the size circle you want. When you open the bag, you can place the dough where you want it on the pan or peel, then pull off the other side of the bag leaving the dough where you want it.

I agree, your pizza looked good Mike.

I had steak and a baked sweet potato.

[RiversideLen]

I had chicken vegetable soup and a cheeseburger.

[BakerAunt]

I roasted two bone-in chicken breasts for dinner on Thursday and the next couple of days. We had them with the rest of the rice stir-fry which I augmented with the rest of the frozen peas. I then used the bones to make a small pot of chicken broth.

[Joan Simpson]

I'm having rotisserie chicken and corn on the cob, made another batch of Watergate salad for poker, we didn't get to play last week.

[Mike Nolan]

My plan is to make chicken Marsala for supper tonight.
