Pizza Party

I've been dying to share a recipe on this blog, and finally! I took photos as I came up with this last one.

The other day, I saw a billboard for a major pizza chain, and my mouth instantly watered for the bread and cheesy goodness. Mom and I discussed what we'd need to make our own improv pizza, and afterwards I promptly forgot about my desire to make one. I was therefore pleasantly surprised, after Mom went to the store yesterday, when I found goat cheese and tomato paste among the grocery bags.

And now I happily share this egg, grain, and gluten-free pizza. It tastes exactly like regular pizza; I could hardly believe it when I first tasted it. I almost cried. Really. I haven't had pizza in over two years.

Fooling Myself

Yesterday morning I woke up disappointed.

As a writer, I had set a goal to finish my current work's first manuscript by then, the first of June.  Having only 20% of it completed, I would never finish it in time.  Especially since Mom and I were due to travel.

We hitched up the Bub and started for the park we'd stay at next.  As we passed blooming purple red buds and budding spring-green trees along the highway, I suddenly laughed aloud.
