let's make it a lovers

my small group is pretty awesome. there is a group of about 6 or 7 of us that get together every monday night from 8-10:30 and just hang out, share stories and talk about the bible. for the past two quarters we've been reading through the book of john. now, john does not have enough chapters to fill up two quarters once a week therefore we have "free days" these days usually include cooking of some sort and then going around to the apartments near us and handing it out! these days usually fall around week 9 or 10 so everyone is super stressed and can really appreciate free homemade food :)

tonight's food adventure was homemade pizza! crust and all.

we each took a designated job and ended up making four pizzas.

kneading that dough was a lot harder than we originally thought but the guys turned out to be pretty good at it. we didn't have a rolling pin so we improvised with water bottle. i decided that i will be sticking with my strengths in dessert making and not become a pizza kneader anytime soon.

towards the end we started getting artsy so i put two hearts on. two of the members of our group are from the dominican republic so we're constantly making comparisons between the two cultures and sometimes the translations are not exact. we were in the middle of making pizza (with ham and pineapple) and one of the guys goes "let's make a lover!" what he meant was a meat lovers pizza like from pizza hut :) it was pretty funny so thats why we put the hearts on. plus it's almost valentine's day.

looks pretty tasty, right? the heart on the right got a little bit more mosaic-y because i was funneling it through the end of a sandwich bag and the stuff was just flying everywhere!

next blog post will be my own dinner creation from tonight. i'll combined it with a post for tomorrow because i'm eating the same thing all week. mmmm.
