pizza,booze fruit-leather f-ups.

yesterday we went to a coffee shop that is about 8 miles from here, right smack in the middle of nowhere. they had soymilk. it was interesting.

also tried my hand at making fruit-leather w/the dehydrator. fyi,brushing the trays w/oil is a must...woops! now i have to figure out how to get the wasted blackberry sludge off...i'm thinking that i'll just soak them and cry about the waste...

last night was a pizza night,since 'kitchen nightmares' was on,and gordon ramsey means pizza...right? we made the tomato sauce out of some of the tom. sauce that i had frozen a week or so ago...we also used a lot of hot peppers from the garden. yay. it was really good...the first time in awhile that we bothered makking the ricotta-like "cheese" to put on it,and it was pretty good,despite our lack of vegenaise and doing some pretty random substitutions.

we got a new home-brewing catalogue yesterday. do we want to make wine or beer? both take about a month...

today's projects will include: more tom. sauce,retrying fruit-leather and purhaps the 'harvest risotto' that we've been talking about trying.

I say go with wine for the first time. I know a couple of people who have done homebrew beer and they've been less than satisfied with their accomplishments, so maybe wine will go better...!
