Cookbook Book Club -- PIZZA!

Our Cookbook Book Club 

met last night

And it was pizza!

We had a guest, Kevin -- a pizza maestro

to teach us about crust.

He first explained how to properly make a crust

And then with the dough he had prepared earlier,

we each got our own blob . . .

And Kevin taught us how to make it into a pizza

We watched as he showed us how to take our blob

And make it into a pizza shape!

Kevin demonstrated the peel technique

We all brought toppings to put on the pizza

Some of us were more simple in our choices

(like me)

I'm a pepperoni girl!

While others were more adventurous

like Liz

(notice how "round" her pizza is!)

Adding green peppers to hers

Angela and Donna saucing up their pizzas

While Barbara was the most individualistic --

She made hers square

She used a white sauce instead of a red sauce!

Once topped, all the rounds (or oblongs) of dough were put into the oven to bake

Under Kevin's watchful eye!

Mine, fresh out of the oven

All pizzas were cut into smaller pieces so we could sample!

The table was full of pizzas

And we couldn't find one that we didn't like

They were all good!

Of course, the Cookbook Book Club couldn't meet

without a dessert

And Rita provided one!

Peaches 'N Cream No-Bake Cheesecake

A perfect dessert after lots of pizza!

It was a fun evening

Lots of laughter

Lots of flour

(over a lot of us)

And plenty of good food!

A big thank you

to Rhonda for arranging for our dough-master Kevin

to come and teach us

to Rita and Joe for letting us use Kennedy Gym

for it had enough ovens that we could all eat at the same time

to Rita for bringing the wonderful dessert

for it wouldn't be Cookbook Book Club without a sweet!

And especially to Kevin (and his wife, Michelle)

for teaching us about pizza dough

for bringing the dough

It was a wonderful evening

And one of the best Cookbook Book Clubs ever!
