And this is how we cook pizza

This has been a while in the making.

I am sorry.*

Things got super busy, and then editing had issues, and then I got lazy, and then I sort of, might have been putting it off.

*not really sorry.


I mentioned a few posts back that Amy and I had filmed a pizza vlog, because apparently we talk about food so much on our blogs that it makes our minions slaves followers hungry, and a couple of you actually requested the recipe for our pizza. (It was Hannah's idea to film it, but whatever.)

SO if you want to make delicious pizza the DeLallo way, here is our recipe for it. (And trust me, it's fabulous, we are pizza snobs.)

However since this is our first cooking vlog and we kind of suck at it, here's the recipe written down in case you have no idea what we're talking about.


Dough: 

1c warm to hot water 
1 package yeast
1 glug (about two tablespoons) oil
3 c (give or take) unbleached white flour

In a medium to large bowl, mix water, yeast and oil. Add, little by little, 2 1/2 c flour, and knead together. Move the dough to a floured surface and knead in the remaining 1/2 flour. Your dough should be soft and not overmixed. A good way to test, is to stick your finger in and if it comes out clean or mostly clean, your dough is probably ready.

Rub it down with oil (so it doesn't crack) and put it back in the bowl, covered. Set aside to rise for about an hour, your dough should double it's size.

Makes 1 pizza.


Sauce:

1 medium sized can (16oz) unseasoned tomato sauce
1 1/2 tbsp oil
1/4 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, diced.
2 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp thyme
1 tbsp basil or sweet basil
Pinch of salt
Pepper to taste.


Dice the onion and garlic and put them in a sauce pan with the oil. Saute over medium heat until the garlic is browning and the onion is sort of transparent and soft. Add the sauce and stir. Mix in the spices, and let them cook into the sauce for about ten minutes. Then turn the sauce down to about med-low or low and let it cook down for about an hour. (This makes the sauce super flavorful and yummy. :)

Good for one pizza.


The Pizza: 

Preheat oven to 375*f.

The dough
The Sauce
Whichever toppings you're going to use (Optional, you don't need toppings, but whatever)
1 c cheese (Mozzarella is best) Or as much as you want, the more the merrier, I say.

Roll out the dough onto an oiled pizza tray. Spread the sauce fabulously over the top, and add toppings if you have them. Sprinkle the cheese and stick it in the oven for 12- 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown on the bottom.


And then all you need to do is partake of delicious goodness.

Just FYI, we are at a pretty high altitude, so the timing and cooking temperature might be a little off if you're closer to sea level. 'Pologies. :)

IF YOU FEEL BRAVE, YOU COULD DO A VIDEO RESPONSE.

But seriously, try it out and let me know what it goes!

Cheers!

I will destroy all of the things.

I won't destroy them right now. 

But I have plans to destroy the things. All of them. 

The things will be destroyed*

1.) IF EVERYTHING WORKS WE SHOULD HAVE WIFI BY THE WEEKEND!!!!

4.) I totally missed my bloggerversary. This place is three years old now, since the seventh. Yay me!

I will destroy all of the things.

9.) Bella and I skyped with Hannah and it was fun, even though she doesn't like country music. (Next time will be less awkward for both of us XD)

10.) I'm thinking I am excessively out of shape and I need to start being healthy again. Phbbth, I hate exercising and I love cookies.

11.) I am praying that this weekend brings WiFi.... because can you imagine the fabulousness of blogging in my own house!? AAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Le Jack's questions of doom and destruction:

1. Have you ever listened to the Snoopy vs. The Red Baron songs? 
    Yes, they are weird and adorable and give me mental images of Snoopy on his doghouse so ha.

2. What's tatters? 
    I'm not sure if you mean tatters like torn paper or cloth... or taters, which are poh-tay-toes, boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

3. What would be your opening lines to your Great American Novel? 
    "The question is," said the detective, "what were you doing with the semi-truck in the first place?"

4. Are you over Tadashi yet? 
    Is this a Big Hero 6 reference? BECAUSE I HAVEN'T FREAKING SEEN IT YET. But I have a fear for Tadashi. He's dead, isn't he?

5. How well can you crash a plane? 
    I will destroy all of the things!

6. What color are the socks you're wearing right now? 
     Black as the night.

7. What is the one thing you always carry with you and why? 
    ....I want to be all hipster and say, "My book." or "My sketch book." (which I do bring with me, frequently.) But like most of the sad populace of the world, I never leave my cellyphone behind if I can help it. It is my most favorite thing.

8. Are you six foot something with a scary nose? 
    I am a hobbit, and while my nose is sizable, I don't believe it's a scary nose.

9. What's the stupidest thing you ever done which inflicted pain on yourself? 
    I ignored my mom's warning to stay away from the edge of the bunk bed, and ended up fracturing my left wrist. I couldn't draw for a like a month.

I destroyed all of the things!

10. Do foods which don't go bad scare you?
     No, they are foods that don't go bad. I LOVE FOOD.

11. How well do you get along with cockroaches?
       I will destroy all of the cockroaches.

Treskie out.

ABOLISHED IMPRACTICALITY!

I freaked out today.

It was amazing.

Jack's book came!!

And I freaked out so much, I needed to vlog about it.

I'm a little embarrassed by this vlog.

So I'm just going to post it before I think about it.

God bless!

Let's have a quote-off!

So, I had a brilliant idea.

And I went to Amy with this idea.

"Amy!" said I, "We should vlog again. Vlogging is fun."

"Nooo." said she, "I make a fool of myself when we vlog."

"Yes you do," I said, "I'll get the camera."

............................

So we did.

Kudos if you know even half the movies we quoted.

Brownies for those who catch the random quotes that we threw in there between movies.

Pie for those who got every single reference.

I can't believe I forgot to post about this before! But Rachel is having an epic beautifully British/Doctor Who giveaway that... ends tonight.

I want to win it.

Or more specifically:

That. ^^^ I want to win that.

I feel bad, not posting earlier.

But yeah. Go check it out.

Cheers and God bless, y'all.

FIGHT THE FAIRIES!

Drumroll, m'dears!

Four score and seven minutes ago, Amanda and I brought forth, upon the blogosphere, a new vlog, conceived in nerdiness, and dedicated to the prospect of answering the rest of the questions left by my followers.

And.... that's as far as I'm going to go in paraphrasing the Emancipation Proclamation.

I swear the next vlog will be shorter. I will not make it so freaking long next time.

I went over to Pandy's house and she asked me the questions and I answered them. And there was great merriment involved. I swear we don't usually giggle so much! (I have to admit, while I was editing it, I was cracking up, because... hey. We are pretty funny together. lol. I didn't realize just how much we quote things! )

I hugely  apologize for the first half of the video constantly going out of focus. Amy put it on the wrong setting so it kept refocusing and going blurry. Grrrrr! It also has some lighting problems.

*Facepalm*

But anyhoo, here is the Q&A vlog, part two! Dun, dun, dunnnnnn.

Incidentally, Amy came over to my  house today, and we filmed her  first vlog! I'm in it too, so there's at least one reason to go here and see it. LOL!

I'm just kidding.

It's funnier than mine.

Go watch it.

Byeee!

Vlog 2! {Part one}

Hey, you lovelies!

The time has come. I got myself together and filmed the vlog, and spend about an hour with Bella and Tiny while they tried to teach me how to edit it and clean it up. They laughed at my frustration. Thanks, guys.

I hate editing. :)

But anyhoosle, I edited it and uploaded it, and now you may watch it. I totally wouldn't blame you if you don't want to watch it all. It's... it's kind of long. And I apologise. (If you just want to watch the questions you asked, Emily and Noni, I answered yours nearer the end.)

Let me know if you're even interested in part two, because I haven't filmed it yet, and I won't if you guys think it's boring. LOL.

I apologize for all the Supernatural comments, my friends. :)

And now I must go and prepare for a barbecue.

Cheers!

Sadness and Awesomeness.

So.....

Soooo.....

The vlog is..... postponed. 

Wallow in the sadness. I know how much you guys were looking forward to seeing my smiling face again. I mean, I am  pretty awesome after all. (Hee!)

But I need to send my laptop for repairs again. Same problem as before: overheating and all that botheration.

Maybe they'll actually fix it this time!? That would be nice. Let's all cross our fingers and say a few Hail Marys. 

Anyway, I will get the vlog up when I get mah 'puter back. Let's hear some applause!! 

Anyway, on to the post. 

FIVE RANDOM FACTS!

1.) I am making paper dolls for some of my nieces. I forgot how much time it takes to make nice paper dollies. I enjoy it, but it takes a long time. I'll post some pictures when I'm done. 

2.) Amy, Kit, our friend Sammi, and I went down to Barnes&Noble today. It was so fun! I got a new book! THIS IS JOYOUS NEWS! It's by Eoin Colfer and I'm super excited about it. (Eoin Colfer is one of my favorite authors. Airman is awesome.)

After B&N, we went and got some frozen yogurt and listened to country music. It was epic good fun. Meherher. 

3.) Kat and I watched a couple episodes of Supernatural. She's not sure about them. I might be a little obsessed. Okay a lot obsessed. 

I'm kind of in love with Dean right now. He's just so cool. Beautiful eyes.

I agree

And he holds his gun right, which is a big thing with me. 

Sam's cool too. 

Just not as cool as Dean. ^_^

4.) We also watched  Jack the Giant Slayer yesterday. 

Let's just say it was fun, but it was a little long and a little slow. I personally think Giants would be scarier if they weren't always portrayed as stupid and gross. But Ewan McGregor was my favorite character. I was glad he wasn't eaten and/or killed. 

5.) I got my graduation pictures the other day! It was exciting. It was a little awkward though. I'm not a hugely great in front of a camera. *bashful grin*

That's all I've got. I will leave you with this adorable  song. It makes me happy. 

DO be sure to ask a few questions for the vlog!

Bye now! Arriverderci! Ciao! Cheers!
