Pizza Night!
On this blog, I think I have previously mentioned we have themed food nights. We started off doing it to save money, as many of our themed nights are cheaper foods. For instance, Wednesday night is often Omelet and Oatmeal night. Both are cheap foods to fix.
We sometimes switch things up, and we won’t do a theme night if we are bored of it. For instance, last night, we changed the plan and just fixed a hamburger. We’ll probably be back to omelets and oatmeal next Wednesday.
I think I’ve also shared that in our family, I am the cook and Tina is the baker. She sometimes like to cook, too, but more often than not, I cook. Tina is a scientist at heart. She likes things exact, which is why she likes to bake. In baking, if you slightly mis-measure something, it messes up. I can’t even tell you how many cakes and cookies I failed at before I just finally give up. I like cooking much better. In cooking, you don’t even really have to measure. You just throw stuff together until it becomes food.
We’ve recently added a Themed Night that allows us to merge our respective talents. Friday night is now…
Pizza Night!
We both love pizza. We’ve made homemade pizza plenty of times, but it’s usually involved me buying a premade pizza crust.
Tina recently found a recipe for her own pizza crust. It’s the whole nine yards. Punching down the dough, letting it rise, all that stuff that I, with my complete lack of baking ability, cannot do. However, I can cook the pizza.
Okay, my contribution to Pizza Night is pretty weak, because anyone can slather pizza sauce, cheese, and veggies on a pizza crust. But just the same – we still do it together because we’re still newlyweds and it’s not yet disgusting how much time we spend together. Right?
Friday night’s dinner is now my favorite of the week. Tina’s crust is AMAZING. I may ask her to do a guest post sometime this month on how she makes her dough. But I have to share this photo, and this is seriously how she prepares her crust. Not a staged photo.
Is my wife awesome or what?

I make dough from scratch, too! Calzones, pizza, stromboli – my dough recipe does it all! Can’t wait to see how Tina does it! Please have her do a guest post!
