Big Pizza weekend

Hey,
   I had a big pizza weekend. I made pizza for a party at Jeff's house. (15 people) Had enough toppings left over to make pizza for 6  for Lynns' birthday yesterday.
   There were many interesting pies, but I think my favorite was the clam pie. I made a clam sauce and reduced it till most of the moisture was gone. I precooked the crust slightly, topped it with a little tomato sauce, put the clam sauce on, and then added some romano and a little mozzarella.
Very enjoyable
   Ciao for now, Garlichut

It's been a while

   Hi,
I made a dandelion salad recently that was notable. I had planted dandelions this year, now I've got to use them up. Because they are so bitter, they're not on my list of favorites. So, I was trying to figure out how to counteract the bitterness and came up with this solution. Along with the dandelion greens, I added red onion, cucumber, avocado a little romano cheese, and some hot pepper from the garden. Dressed with a red wine viniagrette, it was a really good salad.
