The Curvy Carrot » Four Cheese White Pizza (and a Blog Anniversary!)
The Curvy Carrot » Four Cheese White Pizza (and a Blog Anniversary!)
So, now, let’s talk about this pizza. I have made pizza dough before, but this particular pizza dough recipe is my favorite so far, thanks to Annie. I followed both her tutorial (please visit her website for detailed instructions and photos) and recipe to a tee, and I couldn’t have been happier. Now I have pizza dough (it reminds me of Pizza Hut’s Pan Pizza) in my freezer, waiting to be thawed and made into some great weeknight pizzas over the coming weeks…and seriously, what offers more creative liberty than making your own pizza? And what makes better leftovers than pizza?
I have always been a fan of white pizzas, and with all these great options for cheeses out here, I knew I couldn’t go wrong with a four cheese pizza..with my favorite herb: basil. The cheese choices could be easily substituted with your own favorites, but I personally loved the combination of both the softer ricotta and goat cheeses with the mozzarella and Parmesans. I put a little red pepper flakes on mine and sprinkled a teensy bit of flaked sea salt on top. SO GOOD!

Kids and Dogs: How Kids Should and Should Not Interact with Dogs | Animal Behavior and Medicine Blog | Dr. Sophia Yin, DVM, MS:
"When a child is bitten by a four-legged family member, it can turn the household upside-down. Owners feel puzzled and confused. “They sleep together all the time,” they might say, or, “He’s always been really good. He even lets Timmy sit on him.” In a majority of cases, the bite seems out of the blue. The humans can’t fathom why their once-trusted companion would bite an innocent child. But anyone who reads “dog” or can see life from the pet’s point of view would most likely say, “I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner.”"

The Chestertown Spy - PAR Community Garden Donates Bounty to Food Pantry
The Chestertown Spy - PAR Community Garden Donates Bounty to Food Pantry:
"The garden, hemmed on one side by fencing (to keep Ruckelshaus’s sheep from both ravaging the place and escaping), at a guess is 15X 50 feet, and is planted with beets, lettuces, peppers, sweet potato, shallots, carrots, peas, lima beans, herbs, pumpkins, gourds, and a veritable forest of tomatoes –38 incredibly robust plants barely contained by a regiment of volunteer-made cages. Among other things, the group has so far donated 40 pounds of mesclun (about a 55-gallon drum in volume) to the food pantry."
