Some weeks are challenging to get through. This week, it is for no good reason other than it is f*(&ing cold outside. Don't get me wrong. I actually like winter. To qualify, I like southern Ontario winter which generally is not too cold (my first winter here I wore a raincoat with a liner the entire season quite comfortably). But this month-long cold snap is really getting to me. Leaving the house involves about 17 extra clothing items and 15 minutes of prep time.
Anyway, I had to take my car in to the garage this morning (my car has been in the shop more in 2014 than I've been driving it but that is another very annoying story) and needed to get home from the train without the benefit of my in-house taxi service so, took the bus to, admittedly, not that far from my house, but was never-the-less very glad for my parka, hood, knitted hat, cowl and mitts. When I got home, I was strongly motivated to order pizza. Then I remembered that I don't have any cash, don't like using a credit card when ordering food, the aforementioned in house taxi service wasn't home yet and we still have good food in the fridge so … I decided to make some pizza.
The pizza dough comes from Fine Cooking magazine, a very quick, limited rise time dough and a bunch of yummy ingredients from the fridge (mushrooms, red peppers, pancetta, mozzarella, beet greens and goat cheese). Combined with a nice bottle of Peller Estates Merlot and I'm feeling the relaxing effects of the great exhale.
