Recipe Review
Today’s
Recipe and Location: Puffed Pastry Pizza
Found
in: The Pioneer Woman blog
The calories for this pizza
will vary greatly depending on the ingredients you want to use to make it. I think I will keep varying it and
trying new items because it is fun and I already discovered a magnificent fall
back position with the pizza that I made yesterday.

This is one of the strangest pizzas I have seen or
made. Ree was right when she said that the puffed pastry contorts and rises a
great deal while in the oven. The puff rose way up and then dropped like a rock
when it was removed from the oven. I varied the recipe a lot on this one. I
used the puffed pastry, olive oil, havarti and blue cheese. Ree’s recipe was completely different
because she added a lot more items with many I would never eat. I have to say that every bite of mine
was fabulous. The cheeses were creamy and the pastry dough was so wonderful. This is a great new variation on a
regular pizza and a great change of pace
Random Reflections - The Glorious
Garden
Today
we are going to talk trenches. Now
that may not be the formal landscaping name but that it what I call them. The
trench is a shallow moat-like ditch that keeps the grass out of the gardens.
Considering the amount of gardens of flowers that I have, to dig the drench is
a tedious, back-breaking activity. It usually takes me about a week to dig it
all and spray the grass and weeds that are now overpowering my garden. This is the bane of my existence in the
spring. Since we have rain all week, the trench and weeding will commence next
week (I hope).

Irksome Ideas and Images
Geese
are annoying critters. At our school, the geese are considered bothersome
because they leave droppings all over the fields and driveways. They are truly
messy animals and quite aggressive ones, too.
I
do enjoy watching the geese leave the area in the fall. We have a couple of
retention ponds in our neighborhood so the noise of the departing geese is
deafening as they leave the area. I love to watch the formations as they sail
overhead.
They
are an interesting bird to watch. They are quite bold and yet take flight if
anyone comes too close. They seem to bond with each other and some stand guard
while the others rest.
When
you have a minute, watch the geese in your area and see if you agree with me.
Geese – bothersome but amazing.
