It seemed like all the things that could sour my mood this week happened. It could have been a combination of the post-vacation blues<\/a>. It could have been the fact that I felt<\/em>\u00a0like I’d gained about 10 pounds in Texas<\/a>. It could have been the fact that I came home to Portland in the rain. All of those things in combination with some major disappointments and frustrations lead to my bad mood on Friday night.<\/p>\n

That all faded away when I walked in the door from a really good swim to sweet words from Michael and a yummy dinner waiting for me, plus a nice Cabernet and the latest episodes of SNL.\u00a0It’s been awhile since we had homemade pizza. Michael tried a NEW pizza dough and it was a success!<\/p>\n

Did you see my post\u00a0How to Rock Homemade Pizza<\/a>? It’s a good beginner’s guide to making your own pizza. The last recipe we used was\u00a0Homemade Pizza Dough<\/a>. We used it for a long time, changed it a bit and tailored it to our liking. It was a decent recipe for awhile but the last few times we tried it it wasn’t working right. The dough was sticky and difficult to roll out. It didn’t hold the shape well. Michael was fed up with being frustrated with the dough. The other issue with the old recipe was that it made two servings. Which is good, right? We could freeze the other half of the dough for another time but EVERY time we tried to use that second dough it failed. It was too sticky, or it didn’t rise correctly. It was time to find something else.<\/p>\n
