patio pie

Let me set the stage...
lunchtime
 podiatrists office
ingrown toenail
James...again
apparently he is genetically
susceptible
waiting room
magazine of choice
Hour
a Detroit-based publication
cover story
patio pies
 remember...
 lunchtime.
 
Pizza on the Grill Adds a Spin to BBQ Fare

I asked nicely
if they could copy the
recipes for the
dough, tomato sauce, and
chimichurri sauce.

I had big plans
pizza pie plans.

Toe fixed
ingredients purchased

I made dough
I kneaded
watched it rise
and sat back as James
limped into the kitchen
to find the source
of that
amazing
aroma


combined tomato sauce
ingredients
and took a picture
of the leftovers...
enough for a
second dinner.


Same goes for the
chimichurri sauce...
a pesto-like
parsley/cilantro paste
that I dotted over the
sauce
on my pizza pie

along with
vidalia onions
feta
parmesan-reggiano
fresh tomatoes
Greek olives
basil from my garden

the boys made
traditional
pepperoni

mine was the way to go


why patio pie?

it's all about the grill
first the crust for three minutes
once topped for
three more


in a word
AMAZING

I've had my fair share
of pizzas
this one is my
new absolute
favorite
and even though there
are a few steps
each is easy...
really.

I know what your wondering...
how can I get my hands
on those recipes.

you can skip the podiatrist
and go online to
Hour Magazine
click on the
article featuring
patio pies
and like magic
they will appear.

don't ya just love when that happens?

you can thank me later.
