It’s like this, see.  The pizza looked so incredibly delicious that I forgot all about the camera.

Sorry about that.  I guess you’ll have to use your imagination.

Our counters were filled with glass bowls containing chopped garlic, cilantro, Serrano peppers, cheese, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, kalamata olive paste, kalamata olives, tomatoes, mestiza (chipotle) sauce, mozzarella, and feta.  Flour dusted our island, the perfect place for rolling out the crust.

Our glasses were filled with red wine and Pavarotti serenaded us in the background.

If you’ve never had my husband’s pizza, you’ve missed out on something.  He made 4 this weekend.  Here’s the recipe for the newest one:
