SICKIES
Well we have had really bad luck lately. David came down with strep about two weeks ago. Then last monday when he was just starting to feel better he came down with something else. He has a nasty headaches and throws up a lot. I wanted to join in the fun, so Thursday I came down with something. So we're both sick.

Welcome to Baking 101
Hey Guys it's David
So yesterday (saturday) I decided that since this whole week I've been able to eat nothin' but soup and water, I was gonna make a pizza! Then Tisha says to me "Hey lets make bread too!" Sounds like a great Idea to me...little did I know that our worlds were going to be turned upside down! I start making the pizza sauce, and putting together the topping, I decided that buffalo chicken pizza with mushrooms and olives would hit the spot. Tisha started making the bread dough. Soon (well about an hour later) everything is ready, Tisha throws in a loaf, and it commences it's baking. The pizza dough gets rolled out and when it's sufficiently sauced, we deploy the cheese (we used pepperjack -oh man it's spicy! But sooooo good!), then a layer: thinly sliced ham, a few crumbles of bacon, then the shredded chicken that has been basted in buffalo sauce, then the mushrooms (the olives got put in the sauce, so they're under the cheese)....then topped it all off with a sprinkling of oregano...it looked perfect! BING! bread's done! Tisha takes it out and sets in on the back burner to cool...I throw the pizza in, then I notice that smoke is coming from the bread...I look at the stove...The burner had been on the whole time! SO we take it from the burner flip it out of the form to reveal a nicely blackened bottom
...kinda like the time I threw $80 out the window when i was a kid ;OP...Needless to say Tisha was less than exuberant. I thought quickly then pulled out our trusty electric carver and thought to myself "off with the bread!...the burnt part I mean." SO we cut it off and it was delicious...no one would be the wiser...unless the caught wind of what was about to happen next to our happy luncheon...I heard the the distinctness of a "BING" coming from the kitchen...oh goody! the pizza is finished...we open the oven, we pull out the pizza, and...It looks beautiful! I could have cried it was so perfect looking, the flying pie had nothing on me. We set the table, preparing to eat this culinary masterpiece, With pizza cutter in hand I began to roll with the precision of a jet fighter, one pass, 2 pass, 3 perfect passes, no crooked pieces on my watch, no way man! 4th pass completed and we had ourselves a nice lookin' pizza. We pull out the spatula and begin to serve...wait! what's this! I can't put the spatula under the pizza! It's like some cosmic force is pulling the pizza to the pizza stone with terrifying strength! It's then that I realize...we forgot to grease the stone! ARGH! Foiled again! So we spent the better part of that meal trying to cut it off of the pizza stone...but i gotta say...best mangled pizza I have ever eaten...Bar none

Conformist
Well... I decided to give in and conform to the rest of the family and start a blog. On Tuesday David and I will have been married one month! Crazy how the time flies. David and I have been taking turns on being sick. This week was his turn to be sick with strep, the week before was my turn with a cold. We got our wedding pictures back! They are great. Married life is great, when we are both healthy. David loves to cook and is a lot better at it than I. He starts going to BSU on Wednesday, and he is applying to be a substitute teacher. My 1st semester is over and 2nd semester starts on Tuesday. I still love my school, and enjoy teaching even though it is pretty intense sometimes.
Life is good!
