Homemade Pizza!

So, for something totally new and fun ( I hope!), I tried to video myself making dinner. it turned out to be a long video...the next won't be so long...when I figure out the editing software...which I'll work on, I promise!! Be sure to pause the music player before you watch it...or you can't hear me!  So, without further ado, here it is:




Don't be too rough. Hopefully, I'll post the marinara video next, then maybe a medieval recipe or two! Be sure to come back tomorrow for the video of the focaccia pizza dough!  Here are the pics of the finished product:

It's my first attempt at a vlog, so go easy. if it turns out ok, i'll be vlogging making pizza tonight! Before you start the video, be sure to pause the music right over ---------->there. Or you can't hear me! lol

b) Tell 7 things about yourself

c) nominate 15 newly discovered blogs to share this award!

Hm...7 things?  don't ya'll know me well enough yet? hahahahaha here goes:

2} Ya'll know about my five living daughters, and the daughter that died before she was born, but did you know that I have a "daughter" that is my dear friend...and that i occasionally want to "Gibbs smack"?  Hi Shelly!!!

3} I'm enjoying the cable on my tv not working.  oh yeah, i've also embraced netflix, baby...BIG TIME!

4} A fleur di lis factory has nothing on my living room!  I have so many, they each mean so much...check it out!  They are on the wall, around the fireplace...everywhere.  These are old pics, the room doesn't have this much stuff out of place anymore ya'll! lol

5}MM taught me to draw house plans on the computer eons ago.  Not sure if I still could, but perhaps I should try?
6} Once upon a time, I was quite the singer.  Now, my favorite times to sing are when my girls dance around to the music on the radio!  Their current favorite is "one week" by the Bare Naked Ladies!
