Last time we made pizza, we did a pizza margherita. It is my favorite. The husband grows basil and tomatoes in the side garden, so adding some fresh mozzarella balls from the Market is a breeze.

Last time we ordered pizza, I was all set to order the Verde Primo when the Pagliacci phone guy asked if I was interested in the seasonal special which was, what else, their version of a Margherita. I said yes. Nevermind that I just told you we can make a better version, and that we just made it.

So, tonight, when I suggested pizza for dinner, the husband got to choose the ingredients. Fine by me, because he has good taste: Maple sausage (chicken); sauteed Walla Walla sweet onions and crimini mushrooms; shredded Parmesan cheese; on an olive oil-based dough. I did the dough (thanks to our fancy bread machine…a wedding gift that gets a moderate amount of action).

Tonight’s entertainment: Disturbia. We watched Slither earlier in the day. Slither was better.
