It's Some Good Stuff!

     I just got back from a trip to the park to play some tennis and am very tired, but I felt like leaving a post so I did. First I just have to say that playing tennis is about twenty ties harder then it needs to be when a toddler is running around on the court. It felt almost like target practice... I didn't hit him, but it really isn't a good place to watch your kid. Moving away from that I'd like to move onto a subject close to my heart, pizza.

Thoughts on Pizza:
     Pizza is the only food I remember liking throughout my entire life. All of my other favorite foods today used to make me sick. There's crab, burgers, steak, and various other things. I wouldn't touch them. If I was served them I would do something like go to the restroom. The food would then be sneakily moved to the toilet. Enough about my childhood. I'm here to discuss the king of Italian delicacies (it totally is one!), pizza. I'm going to be honest with you. The pizza that most of you know sucks. It sucks hard. Come on, you don't want any of that cardboard Pizza Hut garbage. You want real homemade pizza. It really isn't that terrifying. Trust me, I know these things. Now go out and buy a pizza stone so you can use my favorite thin crust pizza recipe. Dude, this pizza dough is genius. I was able to actually whip a fly off of the ceiling with a piece of it once. It also has great texture when baked. Here it is courtesy of unknownchef86 on food.com.

Pizza Recipe:
      Ingredients-

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (may substitute whole wheat flour for 1 cup of the all-purpose)
• 1 ( 1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm water
• 1/2-1 tablespoon olive oil

     Activate your yeast in the warm water and sugar and let it sit for ten minutes or so then add everything,  but the cornmeal. Knead it for about eight minutes and then let it rise for twenty more. Now you'r ready to make two 12 inch thin crust pizzas. Seriously though, only make thin crust pizzas. It gets tough when you make it too thick. Like shoe leather tough, but if that how you roll then go right ahead. After you put on all the fixings bake in a 500 degree pre-heated oven on a pizza stone for about 8-10 minutes depending on the pizza's size. The pizza stone is your best friend here. If you skip it you might as well have made your pizza on a slice of Wonder Bread. The pizza would have no bite at all. It would be one sad little pizza, but if you do follow all of my guidelines you should have one sexy little dinner. Now go delete the pizza guy from your cell phone speed dial list.

Word of the Day: Terrifying

adj. Causing great fear or dread; extremely frightening

     Nothing strikes fear into my heart quite like inner tubing behind a boat. Why the heck would anybody want to be dragged around at high speed on nothing, but a piece of rubber or whatever tubes are made of these days. There is, however, one particular tube that makes me cry like a scared little schoolgirl. I'm talking about the one in the picture above. It's a taco for gosh sake! Things that go in tacos die! The thing tries to fly away with you on it which inevitably leads to you crashing into the water rather hard. I personally never got flipped, but when I rode it it certainly tried to. My friend and I were yelling, "Lean, man, lean!" the whole time. The picture isn't of me, but of a few other friends that rode on it, but now that I think about it they did biff it after about 30 seconds of riding this run. Okay, I'm done venting about how much I hate inner tubing. I'll talk to you guys later. Peace out!
