I had a fairly busy day today.  It started when I took my daughter to the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame for her music lessons then home for lunch.  After lunch I prepared the dough for the pizza that I’m planning on cooking tomorrow night.  I did get a chance to watch a little bit of the Alabama game but it wasn’t long before I had to leave and go watch my daughter’s perform with their high school band at a band jamboree.

Tomorrow is going to be just as busy.  The girls are wanting me to cook breakfast in the morning then I’ve got some cast iron that I’ve got to start on the re seasoning process.  I’ve got yard work that I’d like to do plus I wouldn’t mind going on a bicycle ride if I have time.

Once I start on the pizza I’ll try and remember to take pictures so that I can share the cooking process.  Right now the dough is sitting in a bowl with tin foil over it so it can rise.  According to the instructions, once I get it in the skillet I’m supposed to let it rise again for another hour before I put it in the oven.  I’m really hoping this works out.

The wife and daughters had a meeting right after school and would be very late getting home so I used this opportunity to do a little cooking.  I really enjoy cooking but I don’t get the opportunity to do so.  I get home after my wife and usually she has supper cooked when I get home in the evenings.  When we first were married she used to cook a lot every meal.  She’s part Italian and she cooked just like one. Now, she does the bare minimum.  It may be chicken fingers one night, hamburger helper the next but she does cook.  I’m not complaining mind you, she does work and she has to put up with a lot being a elementary school teacher.  I’d be happy with a PBJ sandwich but she feels that she must cook something.  Tonight we had grilled pork chops, fried potatoes and salad.  IT was late when we all sat down to eat but it was good, even if I have to say so myself.

Time to introduce another one of my hobbies.  I love cooking in Dutch Ovens.  I volunteer for the Boy Scouts and I teach these boys the art of cooking in these ovens.  It’s a lost art and some people don’t even know how to cook in them.  I was taught by one of the best and his tradition lives on through me.  Pictured here are two main dishes, Easy Cheesy Meat and Potatoes (Top Left), Cowboy Stew (Bottom Center) and Bread (Top Right)  I’ve done a few catering jobs which fed as many as 50 people.  At last count I own 16 Dutch ovens and about a dozen different sizes of skillets.

You guys ready to eat yet?
