Pizza redux



Our nearby volcano, Mt. Redoubt, was contentedly puffing away today, like a giant dragon dozing in the sun. Meanwhile, here in Anchorage, it was alternately snowing and cheerfully sunny. If I had gone out running around (say, to the store for some groceries) when it was snowing, I would likely have had to use my windshield wipers. If there had been ash in the snow--a distinct possibility--that ash would have crazed my windshield under the sweep of the wipers. Time for lunch, what to do?

I decided to make pizza again, although this time about the only thing I could find to put on the pizza was mushrooms and cheese, so that's what I made in the photo shown below. I made two of them. They were good.



I think about the only thing I did different this time was to use shaved slices of cheese rather than the chunks the original recipe suggested. And with the 'shrooms, I sliced those two ways, so they ended up as small chunks. I lightly sauteed them in the olive oil, then set them aside. I warmed the tortilla a bit, as I seasoned it, then added the cheese, the 'shrooms, the sauce and the parmesan on top.

Good stuff!
