Pizza #2

Aimee F. gave me this recipe:

Put warm water in a jug or mug w/ yeast and sugar
and let it get all frothy, then mix w/ however many cups of flour (and a
little salt) to make the consistency slimy doughlike. Add a little olive
oil and let it rise in a warm place (near stove is good) covered. And
Waaaaaala! ...I usually let it sit in the fridge overnight, but you can
make it directly after it doubles in size...


Even though she didn't give many directions, it always comes out good and has a hard, flavorful crust.

Peter's Spanish Rice

Usually when Peter tells me a recipe I try to memorize it. Then I forget it. He told me this one a few days ago after our tennis game.

Ingredients:

4 tomatoes
Onion
Garlic
2 Bullion Cubes
2 cups hot water

Long grain rice

Directions:

Mash together all ingredients in a food processor, making sure the bullion is dissolved by the hot water.
Strain out the solid and keep the liquid.
Use the liquid to cook the rice (instead of water).
The solid portion can be used in a sauce or other recipe.
There might have been another ingredient, such as cilantro, but I'm not sure.

Apple Slices Dipped In Peanut Butter Then Dipped Again in Seeds

A pile of apple slices, a pile of peanut butter, a pile of salty seeds (I used pumpkin but sunflower might be better).
Dip each bite of apple in the peanut butter, coat the peanut butter with seeds, then take the bite.
