Favorite food in the world = pizza. Hands down. This is probably the thing I miss most of all since going gluten-free, and after more than two years, I'm still not used to it. I constantly crave it, and the torture is particularly acute since people eat it so often. Of course, it's not a big deal at all, but it's certainly nice when I come across a delicious, edible pizza. Even the non-delicious ones are fine.

Hence my excitement when I discovered that the Kroger near my apartment this summer carries gluten/soy free mozzarella cheese pizzas! Yes, they're a bit plain, but they're PIZZA!


Naturally, I glammed it up before baking and consuming it, so there were a few delicious toppings I piled on top of the pizza: chopped bacon, minced garlic, pineapple, and thinly-sliced onions.

So, so yummy. Amen.

Beware...

Happy (?) Ides of March! Yesterday was pi day, and now a reminder of the ultimate backstabber...

Today (well, last night) I decided to make cheeseburger soup. I've had this one on my "recipes to make" list for quite some time, so I decided to make room in my freezer and go ahead and make this.

Ingredients:

• Ground beef (browned in the rice cooker)
  
• 2 white potatoes, peeled and chopped
  
• 1/4 onion
  
• 2 ribs celery
  
• 2 carrots
  
• 1/2 tsp. basil
  
• 1/2 tsp. parsley
  
• ~12 oz chicken broth
  
• ~1 spoonful butter or ghee
  
• Shredded cheese (it's supposed to be cheddar or American, but I went with mozzarella...as usual)
  
• Crumbled GF bread
  

I stuck all but the last two ingredients in Gretel overnight (~6 hours), then added the cheese and bread this morning.

Verdict: yummy! I have enough ground beef to feed me for at least two days, and this stuff is FILLING. I added a bit too much chicken broth, so it's waterier than I'd like, but that's okay. So now my room smells like meat and my stomach is full!

Cuban proverb of the day: "Barriga llena, corazon contento." ("Full stomach, happy heart"--so true)

Short post today, but I really wanted to put up something on the Ides of March, since I missed pi day.
