A Happy Marriage

This fall has been tough, but not without bright spots. Case in point:  last night's pizza dinner. I got home around 5:30 and was scrounging in the refrigerator and found a package of soy chorizo and some shredded mozzarella and an onion rolling around in its own peeling dry skin. I had a half bag of Tipo 00 flour also in the cupboard, and five minutes was about all it took to get my dough started. Despite my stated preference for a fermented crust, the same-day variety actually has its own charms. It is a lot like a pita really. The texture isn't as chewy as it gets later, and the flavor isn't as sour, and that seems totally fitting for a Monday night.

The soy chorizo is a very convincing meat substitute. And marries well I think with my world series crush Bengie Molina.
