and i guess it was nice outside?
it wasn't when i was out there, but my clients told me it got better and better
while i was zippin' and zappin' at AMPERSAND TATTOO.
that's great.
i mean, it was cold when i went home, and it's cold right now-
but maybe there's warmth out there in the world around me just
waiting for me to be absent so it can show up and shine down and brighten up.
could be.
i'll take my high points where i can get 'em-
ma nature doesn't have to show me any favor-
i know better than to dispute or refute that fact.
nature wins.
that's just how it goes.
therefore, if nature wants me to miss out on the sun and the sky?
i'll make my own good times.
after all,
there's a lot to be happy about:
mama and baby are happy and healthy.
my older daughters are wrapping up their respective school terms.
heck, maple is gonna graduate in a few weeks.
that's a big deal.
and also, i have the will and the way to do the one thing that always helps.
yup.
you know it, you love it, you want it:
pizza!
white pizza, no sauce, no problem, no worries.
my dough game is proper expert.
the toppings are absolutely on point.
and in between the crust and the stuff?
i have fire-roasted tomato sprankles,
dried shallot chips,
AND a dustin' of nootch.
yeah!
why? for flavor, neighbors.
c'mon.
my daiya is minced,
because rule is rules and the dicey-dice is THE way to go, bro.
i have sliced two-tone tomatoes to sweeten the deal,
and caramelized onions,because i love 'em.
plus raw red onions for that ZAP! man.
dudes,
that blanched broccoli rabe is the TRUTH!
boiled for two minutes to the second, it was pure perfection.
rabe on pizza.
s'dope.
plus tempeh bacon.
that's that thiiiiiiin sliced homemade hottness for your face.
tamari, and agave, and liquid smoke, black pepper, smoked paprika,
GPOP, and garlic oil all bubbled up with a splash of water
until it caramelized.
damn that's good stuff.
....and grated miyoko mozz' to take it to eleven.
double chee'?
obvi.
too much is the right amount.
one whole huge sexxxy pizza for me.
that's a single serving of awesome.
***********
i'm throwing heaps of stuff away.
i dunno where these heaps even came from,
but i've got bags on bags stuffed with stuff,
and they've gotta GO.
it's time to release the strangle hold on all the suffocating space invasion
i've allowed to accrue over the last decade.
ten years of living in the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress,
and all i've got are plants that only thrive on the side facing the sun,
and boxes of bullsh!t that nobody uses,
and an acre of craft supplies i don't ever make time to enjoy.
maybe i'm doing it wrong?
i'm not sure, but i bet i'll know better once all these things are out of here;
never quiet, never soft.....
