I’m a little late in posting, but last Wednesday was pizza night. It came together nicely; we used ground sausage left over from making stuffed acorn squash, caramelized onion, goat cheese crumbles, and a little mozzarella, all on top of an amended version of my canned tomato sauce and the trusty whole-wheat dough from Earth [...]
