EXPERT.

hey friends,
i got into some things last night.
like, a 450 degree F convection oven,
and a hot stone slab within it,
and some dope-A* dough,
and corn girts for rolling onto and off of and into and outta said hot box.
huh?
yuuuuuuuuuup.
that's right, neighbors.
what's the best thing in the whole world?
you guessed it-
PIZZA!
teleport:

pee eye zee zee ayy!!!
i LOVE pizza.
it's my favorite.
if you're smart, it's probably your favorite, too.
yesterday, i had my semolina-laced, gluten-enhanced double-yeast-activated,
pinch-of-sugared, slightly-salted olive-oily flour and water freshness
really going hard all up in the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress.
that's a thing.
double-risen,
cold-proofed,
tossed, rested, and fire the heck up with all the toppings.
that's the big action boomfire for all the boys and girls.
well,
actually,
i was just two people,
and five pizzas,
in one evening.
shark-gluttony and overdoing all the options.
that's what the F* i'm all about.
too much is the right amount,
and the way we get it poppin',
the layers are incredible, and the flavors make the layers look bland.
haha!
let me holler at y'all about this truth we've found up in the hills-
teleport:

potatoes, mandoline-sliced, for uniform cooking,
browned in oil, and lightly blanched in leftover seitan broth.
that's smart.
leeks, sauteed in olive oil until soft and brown on one side at least.
hmm?
oh.
well, there's underchee', the cashew rinotta-be-kidding me hottness,
spread down first, and then a spoonful or two of crushed tomatoes,
and some daiya mozz'.
how as it?
it was exactly as amazing as you'd imagine.
and it only got more serious from there:

basil-parsley-almond pesto, with green onion and molto fried garlic, on top of that chee',
and thinly-spread blops of milky cashew cheese, fresh 'n' soft style,
to hold it down whe i added those vegan sausages,
browned up fresh from out of the steam-bath.
i fired a few caramelized red onions on there, just to freak it off,
and they helped, although it would've been elite even without 'em.
MORE is better, though.
rules is rules.
two pizzas might've be enough for some of y'all....
...and that makes me sad.
we kept the party going, and the oven crankin',
assembling at every two-minute warning on the clock.
teleport:

broccoli and double chee' cheddar blend blops!
wow.
i got the cheddar,
despite never really liking it at all twenty years ago when i ate sh!t like that.
because my duder travis seems to freak out about it.
it's pretty good, and paiored with the broccoli, it feels homey, almost.
a few onions,
and a lot of grilled vegan roast, slightly spicy, very hearty, and molto expert.
from there i had to switch to a sourdough, since i'd used up all the quick jauns.
it didn't matter one bit, because pizza is always dope.
check it:

asparagus, seitan cubes, and baby tomatoes!.
i should mention that these babies are FAT...
as in, thick;
as in, stacked;
as in- chee', sauce, toppings, chee', and more toppings.
i like to really feel disgustingly full,
or it's like i've wasted my day making all this stuff.
no joke.
and last, but never least,
our signature pie.
the ampy-D'elight-deluxxxe:

wu-TANG!
brussels, tempeh bacon, and molto molto red and sweet caramelized onions.
the classic pizza night finale,
because we doo-doo that leafy sh!t.
taking pizza to eleven,
five times in a row;
after hours of plotting, planning, and preparing for the new new hottness,
it's always a good feeling to fill up on some tasty piping hot 'za.
*
we repped our pizza styles exxxtra-hard,
and we went exxxtra-heavy on the whole scene.
i put myself in a position where i could make everything especially delicious,
sorta like a damned champion.
...and then i did just that.
plan your work,
work your plan,
and be prepared to get exactly what you've worked for.
in this case,
it's a mountain of pizza,
which is just about the best reward there is.
i'm grateful for the time  i had to make it,
i'm grateful for my pizza-eating companion who shared it with me,
and i'm super psyched for the leftover pesto that's gonna get dominated tonight;
never quiet, never soft.....
