A New O--N By: Stella

Well, we have some exciting news that I thought you all would like to hear. Dad just recently purchased...

A NEW OVEN! Half-off and gorgeous!

Inside...
(Okay, so I won't bore you with tons of pictures of the oven itself but I WILL post pictures of the kids with the oven...)

Okay, so first of all little Filia went up to the oven and started exclaiming, "OH NO! OH NO! No WAAAYY! No WAYY!!" She looked so worried...

Soon she grew to like the idea of an oven :-) (along with Leo)

(Don't worry! The oven is off in all of these pics. ;) )

Someone is happy :D

Cookin'

What can I bake, Tissy?

Now let's see...

Simmerin' Some Soup

ALL DONE!

Now to taste-test some donuts (No, not homemade :P We cheated and went to Dunkin' Donuts) ;)

:-}Our Lil' Chef :-}

So... those were pictures from yesterday, and there is a reason why I didn't post it. It's because I looked at the menu and saw that we were going to have PIZZA!! I wanted to post some pictures :-)

First I'm going to post some from lunch today...
Filia was eating her apple. Apparently it was a little tart, because, as you can see below, she made the funniest faces...

And now on to pictures of our pizza...

First Mom made some of her scrumptious foccacia-herb bread dough. Putting it inside the mixer, we waited for it to be kneaded...

 

Meanwhile I took the oven stone and placed it neatly inside the oven to preheat after sprinkling a bit of cornmeal over it.  We took the pizza dough, when ready and kneaded, on a cutting board, rolling it out quite thin and then spreading some of Mom's amazing homemade spaghetti sauce. (It also has pieces of sausage in it, so we had the benefit of a 'sausage' pizza :P ) Then we generously sprinkled cheese over it, some slices of pepperoni- VOILA! That's it; and into the oven went our pizza.

MMM! This absolutely amazing pizza was quickly devoured, and another was popped right into the oven...

Check out that crust; it was soooo delicious! Now the boys NEVER finish their pizza crust and I usually sheepishly throw out the crust, hating to waste it. THIS PIZZA CRUST WAS QUICKLY DEVOURED and with a smile on my face I handed the plate in to Mom as the boys cried, "Can I have another piece, Mommy?" with mouths jammed full of pizza.

 

Now here is our little critic... Filia!!!

Now- I WANT YOU FOR MY NEW PIZZAMAKER!!!
