          I did a thin crust pizza with just sauce, cheese and mushrooms. Not quite like the one we used to get in Evanston IL in the early 70's, but close enough. (I think the sauce is the missing link.)

          The dough makes 2 pizzas, so I'll be doing another one tomorrow night. It'll be interesting to see if having the dough in the fridge overnight changes how the crust is.

          I just got the King Arthur pizza book, so I'll be playing around with some recipes from it over the next few months.

            Mike--You need to fix the thread title, as the "y" got left off of May.

            For Sunday's dinner, I thawed a "split chicken" that was frozen. It was mostly two large chicken breasts. My theory is that these cuts result from someone learning how to cut up a chicken who did not quite get it right. I rubbed them with olive oil, sprinkled them with Penzey's Justice blend before roasting at 375 F for 40 minutes. One was finished at 45 minutes, but the larger one required another 10 minutes. We had some of the chicken with the rest of the potato salad from Friday and microwaved fresh broccoli.

                Joan, I just checked the wildfire update on First Coast News - it was at 3:20 this afternoon - they got 1.5"of rain which helped a little, but they're still at 64% containment - I gather they are doing things like moving merchantible timber and breaking up berms to create firebreaks. It sounds like it's going to take a while - those poor people.

                I had chicken salad and broccoli for dinner

                  Sunday, my brother came over and I made salad and pizza. Sausage, green pepper and mushrooms. It was really good.

                  Not sure what tonight will be, I'm in the middle of doing some yard work so I think I'll be looking for an easy option.

                    I made yogurt on Monday, so I am back in my routine. For dinner, we had more of the roasted chicken and microwaved mixed vegetables. I roasted sweet potato chunks as well.

                      I had chicken tenders, half of a baked potato and celery sticks.

                      Yes Cwcdesign we got some good rain and I know it's still going to be awhile before it's over, God Bless them all!

                        Pizza night, part two, and it was at least as good as last night's pizza. (I did change the cheese blend I used, adding some parmesan and romano and leaving out the alpine blend--raclette, grand cru and fontina.)

                          For dinner on Tuesday, Scott pan-cooked some pork cuts, and I made pasta with goat cheese, which we had with microwaved fresh broccoli.

                            I had salad with fruit and yogurt.

                              At Scott's request, I made chicken salad for dinner on Wednesday from the rest of the chicken I roasted earlier this week. He really likes this chicken salad. We had it on the sandwich buns I baked earlier this week.

                                I love chicken salad too BakerAunt.

                                Tonight my friend and I went out for Mexican , I had a burrito and she had taco salad.

                                  I did another thin-crust pizza with mushrooms.
