Get ready...

Our mixer is here! Soon our hand-washing station will arrive, and ingredients are only a few days away!  The Pizza Carrello Family could not be more excited. 

We have been perfecting our pizza handling skills, our dough throwing abilities, and learning how to AND HOW NOT TO cook a pizza perfectly. The other night, for the first time, we made dirty steaks! Dirty steaks are made by cooking the meat directly on top of a bed of coals for a couple of minutes on each side. The results were smokey, delicious, tender steaks that made our dinner table discussion turn to silence within seconds of the first bites. WE COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD THEY WERE! Not to mention Jalapeno Popper Pizza, Bacon Ranch Avocado Pizza, Pesto Pepperoni Pizza with Cream Cheese, and of course one Cheese Pizza just for fun, and fun it was. All of the pizzas we made were out of this world. We couldn't stop ourselves from giggling from time to time, just out of pure satisfaction. We were so busy enjoying ourselves that we forgot to take pictures of the pizzas before we devoured them. Forgive us, we were having too much fun! 

Everything was frosty and cold this morning, but our oven was still 400 degrees even though there hasn't been a fire in it for 12 hours! Just goes to show how well insulated it really is!
