Fuori dalla mia nicchia

The Leaning Tower… AND (not of) pizza

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008 | Uncategorized

Yes, we went to Pisa for a day, and on a completely separate occasion I made pizza

Somehow, I don’t think I actually took one of the famous “holding up the tower” pictures.  I thought I did…. maybe it ended up on someone else’s camera.  Pisa was nice, perfect for a little day trip.  Beyond that, there isn’t much to do.  The tower is also not as tall as I thought it would be.  So that was last Saturday.  On Sunday I woke up with a craving for pancakes, and since we had already planned to make pizza that evening, and I needed to buy stuff for that, I decided to buy some pancake fixins as well.

It took forever to find baking powder for the pancakes and yeast for the pizza, but I think we got pretty close in the end My roommates and I made pancakes, and it was amazing.  I also was able to find sugar free peanut butter, FINALLY, so I made a leftover pancake peanut butter and jelly sandwich later in the week.

Some friends of ours have an actual oven (not like the toaster oven we have) in their apartment, so we had a pizza party, like legitimately.  I think there were 7-8 of us, and I taught everyone to make pizza!  We ended up with 4 small pizzas like the one in the picture (make sure you go to page 2 of the photos).  They actually turned out really nice!

Okay, I have to get ready for class, but 2 more things:  I leave for a 3 day field trip to Bologna tomorrow, where we will get to make pasta by hand!!!! eek!  and lastly, and most importantly/amazingly, I am finally set on a trip to Greece for fall break.  We’ll leave Oct 31st and get back Nov 9th.  I’ll explain more later… but Paros, get ready for Tricia!!!

Ciao ciao!!!
