Making Pizza!

I decided to make a video about one of the world's best foods... Pizza! Don't get too excited, though. I used a pre-made pizza crust for it, and the whole thing was heated and baked in a tiny pizza oven - so small that the sides curl up on the pizza like a hammock and all the toppings (cheese included) slide to the middle. Despite all that, the whole ordeal is quick and easy, and sooo tasty. For this particular pizza, I used mushrooms and raw onions plus spices (salt and pepper, garlic powder, and oregano), although in the past I've used peppers of various colors, fried eggs, and even sauerkraut. I like to experiment.

I should just put this out there... This was filmed and edited last week, but seeing as I was packing and getting ready to head back to the city for the real world, I simply ran out of time and couldn't put this video up until now. Enjoy it, belated as it is!

Campfire!

Everyone loves a campfire. Something about that element seems to attract people. Is it the heat? The light? The intangibility of it? Whatever it is about fire that draws us to it, there is also some definite associations with a campfire that attracts people in other ways. Marshmallows, for instance. Hot dogs, songs, stories... They're all good reasons to sit around the fire. Maybe it's because we associate our time around the campfire with our free time. If we're sitting around a campfire, it means we're on vacation. Ah, vacation, that magical time period when nothing can touch us - not work, not school - nothing.

My nephews wanted a campfire today, so of course I had to oblige. Who could refuse those guys? Anyway, we built up the fire without much trouble, and it burned quite easily. The ground is pretty dry, and the wood was kept inside. Well, for those of you who are in a sorry state where you can't enjoy the comfort of a campfire at some point this summer, this one's for you.
