Pizza and Rain

Another drizzly, gray day was just right for staying home and watching the nascar race. The race was kinda awful if you're a Kasey Kahne fan (which I just happen to be) but with all of the wrecks it was still fun to watch.

By mid afternoon it became quite clear that this weather was not going to cut it. Unfortunately it doesn't look any better for many, many miles down the road. Still, we are tired of this park and it's unfriendly attitude. So, we told them to cancel the rest of our reservation and we are heading out to the coast. We'll be in Long Beach, but the nasty weather is ok if you are on the beach.

Doug decided to get creative in the kitchen and tried out a couple of new recipes. First, he made ricotta cheese. It doesn't have as much flavor as we expected but the consistency is good and it tastes nice.

Then, since he had ricotta in the refrigerator and I was craving pizza, he whipped up a batch of homemade pizza dough, seasoned some tomato sauce for pizza sauce, cooked some sausage and bacon, and proceeded to build an outstanding pizza. What a guy! (You should have seen the mess in the kitchen! Everything we owned was dirty.) And I spent the rest of the evening cleaning up after him. Yet it was worth every mess.

So, tomorrow we aim the coach west.
