Reflective of my Healthy Priorities

Here is what I call a productive day of running errands. I went to Home Depot to get stuff to add more shelves to the garage. Then I swung by Publix to get deli cheese to make a pizza.

I felt I had gone long enough without nature’s perfect food. And since I now make better pizza than any restaurant in Miami, there was no point in buying it ready-made. I had two gallon cans of Bonta sauce slowly aging in the cupboard, and as much as I wanted to hoard them, I knew it was time to let one of them go.

Bonta is good sauce. Not my favorite, but good. I don’t think anything can touch Stanislaus Super Dolce. When I finally give up all pretense of willpower, I will sit on the couch eating it out of the can with a cooking spoon. I estimate I’ll be there by mid-2009.

I bought Boar’s Head cheese. Three-fourths of a pound of whole milk, low-moisture mozzarella, and a quarter-pound of aged provolone. Just for fun. Your best bet in a grocery store is the cheese they sell at the deli counter. The other stuff tends to have too much water, or it’s full of cellulose powder, or it just tastes bad. But as I have said, I made a very good pizza with Sargento bagged cheese.

I’m making a fat-free crust, simply because I prefer the texture.

Crap, I’m out of olive oil. I may have to hit the store. I like a little oil in my sauce.

Hope your fifth of July is going well.
