Another week has gone by so it is time for another supper menu. To update you from this previous menu, I did try to make homemade pizza dough using Alton Brown’s recipe. I didn’t have great success with it. I made it exactly by the recipe and the crust was WAY too doughy. For some reason, I don’t have a lot of luck with yeast dough. There is something about yeast that eludes me and I wish I knew what it was.
I had high hopes for this dough recipe and I am disappointed that it did not turn out well. We live too far in the country for pizza delivery and I was hoping for a good homemade alternative. In my opinion, most refrigerated grocery store doughs have an “off” flavor to them, as do frozen pizzas. They will do in a pinch, but they don’t have that good authentic taste. Oh, well.
Here is my plan for the upcoming week:
Monday: dinner with C’s parents
Tuesday: grilled pork chops, roasted potatoes, and salad
Wednesday: grilled hot dogs, oven baked fries, and fruit salad
Thursday: steak & cheese sandwiches with oven baked fries
Friday: leftover steak sandwiches
Saturday: pizza night
Also, our county extension service is sponsoring a “Biggest Loser” contest and my office is participating. None of us need to lose a huge amount of weight, but we thought it would be a fun way to lose a few winter pounds and get in shape. It starts tomorrow with the dreaded weigh-in and goes from there. Wish us luck!!!
