Back to Baking

On the plus side of visiting the grocery store (the one formally known as the non-frustrating grocery store - now, name to be determined) is that, along with the items on our list (or most of them), we ended up buying a few things that hadn't occurred to us. (By the way, that's also the negative side.)

One unplanned thing we bought (or three things, depending how you look at it) is, we bought three clumps of pizza dough. Pizza is one of the many things Sam and I bake when it gets to be baking season. 

The day we went grocery shopping, fall was in the air. Baking something like pizza seemed like a good idea. So we got some clumps of dough which meant we also had to add sauce, cheese and a few other things to the list, as well. No big deal. Grueling as it was to be at that store, we got everything we would need.

Though fall was in the air on the day we went grocery shopping, the next day, the day we decided to do the baking, fall was nowhere to be seen. At least, that was the case by the time we spread the dough and heated up the oven. The nice cool and comfortable fall morning air had been replaced by the usual hot, muggy summer air. Not a great day to do some baking.

Unfortunately, the die was cast and the dough had been stretched. There was no turning back. 

We made our three pizzas, which would have been nicer to do on a cooler day - but even on a hot, muggy day, it was fun. 

Hot and muggy, but fun.
