there was a frozen pizza at costco with tomatoes, basil, and cheese that looked really tasty, so we tried our pizza with those toppings.
when it first came out i was like, “oh god, this looks terrible.” the cheese was like everywhere, and it was real watery from the tomatoes and cheese. BUT, even in this not so glorious state, it was delicious. we tried it with some balsamic vinegar too, like when you eat mozzarella, basil, and tomato with some balsamic vinegar. that was also good.
anyhow, the second time we made this, i patted the tomatoes dry and the cheese too, didn’t put too much sauce, and then it wasn’t watery. oh, also i like to eat cold pizza, but this one definitely tastes better warm. i guess because we put so much mozzarella, and when it’s cold all you can taste is like rubbery mozzarella. just stick it in the oven or toaster oven (i considered wrapping it in foil and sticking in the toaster at work but that might have been disastrous so i just ate my sad cold pizza that day), and it tastes great!
i decided to make the basic vanilla cake since it’s my first cake. anyway, she recommends making a 6″ test cake, so I made that last week or marci’s wedding shower. mrs. taketa helped me a bunch with assembling this first cake, since she used to do some cake decorating.
but it was still pretty good. ours came out a little watery – i guess too much chicken broth.
