Blue Plate Special

http://www.grubreport.com/blueplatespecial/pizza.html

I have been on a serious cooking spree lately, by which I mean, I really really WANT to cook tasty, gourmet stuff, and I read the recipes, and make shopping lists, and then, I just don't. Our dinners the last few days have consisted of:

chicken soup with bread dumplings
chicken stew with biscuit dumplings
pot roast
spaghetti and meatballs
leftovers

and tonight, another freezer meal, chili.

But the site above, combined with my trusty Culinary Institute cookbook (which does me the double brain buster favor of not only setting out recipes in batches of 30 servings but also does it using the metric system), has motivated me. Sometime this week, I will make at least one of the following: pizza dough, bread dough, or homemade pasta. Maybe it's just another part of the nesting phase.
