Hi, it's me again, Bernardita. Today is the 3rd of the 8th 2009. We didn't prepare dine in tucker for today. Instead, we had take out pizza but it was good. I enjoyed so much the session today but I always do. I had fun and much learning to speak of from the preparation up to the finish. Junita, our teacher always sees to it that we get hands-on for every menu we prepared. So, from the mixing of the yeast with warm water to the kneading of the dough and watch it rise, it was beautiful. Then, we had to slice the vegetables thin like the onions, bell pepper, olive and mushrooms. The most exciting one is when we get to arrange the toppings on the crust one after the other: Pasta sauce first, then the Parmessan cheese, onions, olives, green and red bell pepper, mushroom, diced pineapple, and the meat on top (kabana, salami and ham). We served the pizza on plates with fresh vegetable salad which we gathered from the garden dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, pepper and minced garlic....that was beautiful...see you next Monday.
