pizza, snickerdoodles, & crepinettes
ok so i'll start backwards...

the duck crepinettes...

i went to farmer's market this morning cuz i wanted to get mushrooms for my pizza & the mushrooms at safeway were expensive & not as nice...

i wanted to get something special for my pizzas so i went to fatted calf...i had heard so much about them but i was always scared to go up to them & buy something...1, it was expensive...2, it's one of the places that i can look at the chalkboard of products & genuinely not know what the hell they were....facing my lack of knowledge intimidated me...

when i went there one person was buying duck crepinettes...which i had never heard of...& another woman was asking what they were...so after listening i decided to get those too...whatever they were...i just heard the part where the casing is different..so i knew it was a sausage of some sort...

i was too cheap to put it on my pizza & now i'm looking up things to do w/ it & i just get so many sites saying it's freaking incredible but i have no idea what to do with it..bah

anyways..here's a really nice picture of it

berk farmer's market

anyways...i'm asking chowhounds...

snickerdoodles...made them cuz i was paying a visit to campus market today & i felt rude going there empty handed...

ate them w/ vanilla ice cream & chocolate syrup...yummy badness in a bowl...

ok...i was just looking at all the pics on that blog i linked above & that thing puts this crap blog to shame...it's all those pictures..i wish i was that talented at photography...

me to my cousin: omg acme's on there too all the loves of my life!

ANYWAYS

pizza...i made the dough when i woke up this morning...i was so nervous that the dough wouldn't rise..but it did well:) i was proud

this is half of the dough from the second rising:




i made marinara sauce...

put in green bell peppers & onions & basil & italian parsley...gawd i love fresh herbs

i kinda forgot about the ground turkey (i was trying to make it lean) so i decided to saute that w/ italian seasoning w/ the mushrooms separately...

stirred it in afterwards....

topped the whole wheat crust w/ this super duper chunky sauce fresh basil leaves & the sun dried tomato & basil mozzarella & i got this




20 minutes at 425 degrees




yea yea i need to work on forming my pizza dough but whatever...it was delicious:)

i put the rest in the fridge..i hope that's ok...dunno we'll see...

the next day...

the dough looked really flat but it baked up just fine...same as yesterday...

here is the pic of the pizza i made for chanda & myself it's so big! & real looking haha
