Regarding my quitting coffee, I must say, I feel great. I just made a cup of fresh mint tea from the garden. It tastes delightful, and I don't miss drinking coffee at all.
The pictures below are from a pizza party lunch we had just yesterday at Sunnyside Seedlings in Richmond, CA. Rick and Pilar are the proprietors of this is wonderful place where they grow starters plants, and sell them at farmer's markets and nurseries. One of these days I'll do a complete and proper blog of the operation out there.
How I met Rick and Pilar was through the Richmond Gospel Rescue Mission where I volunteer each Wednesday cooking in the kitchen. The Rescue Mission does great work helping men and women get back on their feet. Many of the people in the program are ex-cons, people who have been addicted to one substance or another., or are victims of the economy. In addition to that they feed three meals daily to all the people in the program, lunch to anyone who comes in off the streets who is hungry, and they have a program for people who are homeless.
As well, the Mission has an a accredited culinary program. Soon I will also do a complete blog on the Mission's amazing program. Rick and Pilar have given the Mission space at their place to grow food. That's how I wound up out at the Farm, as I call it.
So, they have this pizza oven that someone built for them, and I looked it over having just made my own recently, and figured it needed some added insulation. So, I put another 2 and half inches of stucco on the top. I added some color to it to give it a little more panache.
Last week Rick said let's make some pizza next week, and these photos are from that event. When I got out there Rick had that oven at 800 degrees, and those pizzas cooked in four minutes tops. It's a great little oven.
As usual I ate too much, but that's nothing knew. I do that with pizza especially, and today I'll have to work it off.
That's all for this week folks.
Peace,
Make Food, Not War
