With it being the first day of spring, i was ready to greet our nature animal friends, with lots of yummy goodies this mroning :) i put lots of goodies outside, for the birds and squirrels :) They love their baking friday breakfast feasts :) it was so nice, going out, seeing some birds around :) There's a gray bird, that follows me around our yard, and looks where i put the goodies, and then swoops down to gather goodies :) it's such an amazing nature sight :) it was a spirited start to the month :) i decorated our baking friday kitchen today, with a special, PIZZA PARTY Banner i made :) i was so excited, i love pizza, and for my birthday week baking friday, i wanted to bake some pizza's :) We have a very special shoutout, and thank you, for my dear, and lovely mom, and sister Lisa :) They went to the stores yesterday evening, and picked up baking friday supplies :) it's so nice, and sweet of them :) They got these awesome thin crusts to make pizza's, at the dollar store :)
i had fun decorating our kitchen, and also cooked a nice wholesome, healthy lunch :) i cooked cabbage soup, and i also had a half of a grinder sandwich :) Delicious! :) i made a homemade pizza crust today too :) i used water, a packet of yeast, with garlic powder, minced garlic, a little brown sugar, a little salt, and a little old bay seasoning :) i put the pizza dough in a nice bowl, and covered it, and put the dough into the oven to rise :) the dough smelled really good :) During the early afternoon, i recieved my wonderful happy birthday delivery, and also, enjoyed some nice time here on ds, writing to friends :) Around 2:45pm, i gathered some more baking supplies, and went back out into our kitchen :) i got the pizza/pie baking dish, and also got everything set and ready :) it was beginning to snow during late afternoon here. Jenn decided, to keep safe at home, as we do have 1 or 2 inches of snowfall in our forecast. Kayla and Taylynn arrived home shortly after 3pm :) Today, and the whole week, i did so much better, with pacing myself, and having more energy this week, i was so happy, and excited, to be able to send out texts, to friends :) it's always a cool tradition, for baking friday :) i've got many friends in my phone contacts, who aren't here on ds anymore, but i keep in touch, through texting/mail. Taino (Tommy), Carolyn (Cypher), Donna (mamasgrl), Kim (Tigger48) and other friends too :) i love to send everyone a baking friday text, and i felt bad last week, that i was so tired, and drained emotionally, i wasn't able to send out my normal texts, but this week, i've got a spirited boost of energy, and was able to send out the texts :) i'm smiling! :) our kitchen was all set, and we were ready for the pizza party! :) calling all cookie monsters! :) cookie monsters unite!!! :) it's time to bake! bake! bake! :) We began our super fun adventure! :) it was like an old school baking friday, with it just Kayla and i baking, but Mikey and Taylynn were definitely with us in spirit, in the kitchen :) You all are always with us in spirit too, our kitchen :) Kayla and i first made the thin crust pizza's :) my mom came out into the kitchen, we love when she joins us in the kitchen :) We used Rinaldi brand pizza sauce, and mozzarella cheese :) yum! :) i love these nice cheese pizza's :) Kayla and i were talking about baking friday, and all of the smiles, fun times shared over the years, cooking, and baking :) i put the 1st two pizza's into the oven, and then got ready to prepare, the deep dish pizza :)
We used a pie dish :) i used butter to grease the pie dish :) We then got the homemade pizza dough i made, and we spread the dough into the pie dish :) we then poured some nice pizza sauce, and more mozzarella cheese, on top of the sauce and crust, i couldn't wait to see how this deep dish pizza came out :) i put the pizza into the oven to bake! bake! bake! :) oh my! :) yummy scent of pizza, filled our kitchen :) it smelled just like the classic scent of pizza shops/restaurants here in our city :) i remember when i was younger, and my dad would take me over to the Mr. Pizza Restaurant, and we'd go in there, to pick up our pizza's, and that scent of pizza, and i remember the owner there use too give me a bag of BBQ chips for free! :) a cool memory i have of those times :)

Oh Chris....My mom and I are really happy that you enjoyed the little surprise! It was supposed to arrive tomorrow(because they dont deliver on Sundays) but I understand the circumstances of the snowfall alert..that\'s ok! I want you to know that you are very important to me and to our family..I met you in January but it is enough to know that you\'re a good person and I can trust you and I consider you as my friend. I like you a lot and I consider you very important in my life...so it makes me happy to make you happy! You helped a lot. I owe you.

Thanks for your friendship, Chris! From the bottom of my heart!

I loved the pizza! Yummmyyyy!!! I`m still at the office (it\'s 10pm) and my friend (from the haunted place) invited me for a pizza at her place...I\'ll stop by to eat a slice and then I\'ll go home.

Oh...you look so thin!Healthily thin.
I\'ve lost some weight too...but not in a healthily way...I look sick, unfortunately. :(

Love,

Carol.

hi Chris::: I was looking at the pizza pictures and I\'d never guess they weren\'t from a take-out.. they look so perfect.. and delicious! You did an amazing job with everyone... you have the recipe down pat for sure.

The Sunflower is so adorable! It\'s a real smile maker. And of course you decorated like a pro :)
