Great Day

Well today is my 29th birthday ....... again! Here is what greeted me on this day!

My good friends coming down the tree to greet me.....


This peregrine falcon..... probably not here to greet me but maybe snag a pigeon or two!

Mt. Baker in all of its beauty..

One of the bald eagles that hangs out in our tree.....


One of the many deer that pass through our yard.... they love stopping by and eating our apples

And a beautiful ship passing by.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day as well........

Thanks Kathy!

Thank you Kathy D for my early birthday gift! This is so awesome I had to share with you all! Ever make pizza on your outdoor grill before? Well we hadn't and I had never even heard of doing such a thing till Kathy got me this wonderful gift!

First you get this pizza stone for your grill at William-Sonoma.....

And then of course you will need a pizza peel....... thank you Kathy!

Well this is where it got a bit tricky! Trying to make a round pizza! I thought if I just threw it up in the air a few times it would even out.... well this didn't work for me!

I bought the pizza dough at Trader Joe's. It was awesome!

Our first pizza shape is very strange but let me tell you..... it didn't matter! We put canadian bacon, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms and olives on it...

Before going on the grill....

Half way done......

Finished! It tasted delicious! One of the best pizza's I have had!

Give it a try sometime and let me know what you think... and any of you that have already made these and have some tips for us please let us know them!

On another note ... I really have been working and not just cooking! I will post photos in the next few days!
