I haven't . Not counting the time Troy and I used only flour and water to make the dough. Glue paste?
Fran looked up a fairly easy recipe for us. And then she let us loose to make a big mess in her kitchen.
Yeast. magical yeast.
measure out flour! oops - half on the floor half in the bowl.
Why do you have to kneed for 10 full minutes!
This gets tiring around minute 2.
Flatten out into square/round pizza shells. We did not let the yeast do it's magic, our dough had not doubled in size when I decided it was time to roll it out.
Big cook helps little cook grate cheese, and put toppings on!
Into oven and bake.
Rewards for all that work. Yummy slices of hot pizza.
Our lunch was good!
After lunch we put on our snow cloths and went outside for some exercise.
Over Christmas holidays Chaplin and Grandma picked out this live tree and it went into the TV room. It had an angel on the top that Sharman had made, so we called it the "Sharman" tree. After New Years Rod and Fran planted it out in their back garden, and we were inspecting it today. It is doing very well!
On to inspect the big puddles. Chaplin is looking for belly draggers (crocodiles).
He was holding up his hands and stopping us from entering any water by saying
"you can not come in the water, i must make sure it is safe."
he also said "it's very dangerous momma"
After all this dangerous stick poking we circled around and came back up to the house.
Fran and I were sitting at the patio table and directing Chaplin to run around the trees as we counted how fast he could run. We enjoyed his energy.
what an industrious morning you had Chaplin. The pizza looks yummy! Hope you had a great visit with Grandma and Grandpa. I know they were so happy you came to visit!
ReplyDeleteTo Glenice - Chaplin calls Rod, 'Rod' - that was Rod's choice and it is cute to hear Chaplin call him that. We had lots of fun - the next day was a treasure hunt. I think Lori will blog it. Thanks Glen for following this blog - it means alot to me.
ReplyDeleteOh about the possible 'cold' that Chaplin might be getting. I cleaned the kitchen today and you can't even imagine the dust that I vacuumed from the kitchen runners. Remember, I just cleaned the filter on the vacuum. So, since Chap was rolling around on the kitchen floor, the sneezing may well be related to the dusty carpet. Hope that explains the sneezing! Dust makes me sneeze too.
