| Tonight I failed myself |
|
I decided to make homemade pizza. I got out all of the ingredients that I like. Flour, oil, water, yeast and salt for the dough. Fresh tomatoes, fresh garlic, basil, thyme, rosemary, and various other spices for the sauce. Grated mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and grated parmesan cheese for toppings.
Dutifully, I prepared the ingredients and put the pizzas together after letting the dough rise for half an hour. Since I had already preheated the oven, it was waiting for my homemade concoctions.
Smelling the pizzas bake… I grew hungrier as the minutes passed. First 10 minutes, then turn them around for 10 more minutes.
The timer bell went off and I jumped up excitedly! Reached in the drawer for the cutter shortly after taking the pizzas out as I didn’t want to waste a minute of the bubbling cheese. Cutting it like a Pro, I reverently laid two slices on a plate.
Sitting on my couch to munch on my beautiful looking pizza and watch a PBS special on the Barrier Reefs, I take a bite. Ugh.
The pizza doesn’t taste very good. I get up, still holding the pizza and go check the recipe and its right. I did it right. I don’t know why it doesn’t taste good.
So… tonight… me… a fantastic cook… has failed. I am distraught.
