Pizza Oven

10 - October

We finally decided to try the pizza oven that we bought a while ago. For ease of not having to make our own pizza dough, Andy went to Shakespeare’s for supplies. I love that they put the ingredients in their cups!

We figured that the first time using the oven would be a learning experience, but it was fun making everything and figuring out what works best.

We made three pizzas, and by the third one, Andy had the process down pretty well.

The pizzas were very tasty, and I think the next time will go much smoother.

Obnoxious Colors

10 - October

Tonight, I decided to try to make layered soap, and I used obnoxious colors to determine if it worked. I did not let the first layer set up quite enough, and it was pretty obvious that I did not have layers. I ended up with a more tie-dyed look.

However, I did wait to pour the last bar until the first half of the bar had a strong film on it. One side was nearly perfect.

I feel pretty accomplished for my first time even if the soap is really ugly with those obnoxious colors…

Lunch

10 - October

After arriving back in Cape Girardeau to return Laura to school, we had lunch at Ebb & Flow, which is a local brewery.

We invited Kamrin, who is one of Laura’s best friends.

We all enjoyed the food, and Andy found a new place that makes sour beers. It was a tasty lunch break that broke up the day of driving.
