Let's stomach some

forlorn, embittered
shrews
by Tiffany Carter |
Dough:
- 1 PACKAGE ACTIVE DRY OR FRESH YEAST
- 1 TSP HONEY
- 1 CUP WARM WATER (105-115° F)
- 3 CUPS FLOUR
- 1 TSP KOSHER SALT
- 1 TBSP OLIVE OIL (OR CHILI OR GARLIC OIL) + A BIT MORE FOR BRUSHING
- A BIT OF DRIED ROSEMARY AND/OR GROUND SINSEMILLA
Sauce:
- 1/4 CUP + 1 TBSP EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
- 2-10 CLOVES OF GARLIC, MINCED
- 1/2 SMALL SWEET ONION, DICED
- 1/4 TSP DRIED OREGANO
- 1/4 TSP DRIED BASIL
- 1/4 TSP MARJORAM
- 1/4 TSP RED PEPPER FLAKES
Toppings:

STATE OF AFFAIRS:
1) Your turkey is exploring other gullets. He is
not coming home for Christmas, emergencies
or naps, no matter how much you plead,
rage or change.
2) Woebegone and deranged, you are provisionally
animate and a bit randy.
3) Pizza is easy or easy to come by and good,
acceptable or perfect, like God’s will.
DOUGH:
1) Dissolve the yeast and honey in a small
bowl with ¼ cup of the water.
2) Combine flour, salt, rosemary and marijuana
in another bowl and pour in the oil and
honey yeast water.
3) Mix with a fork until it curls into a ball,
taking the space it needs from the sides of
the bowl and you.
4) Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes.
5) Cover it with a damp cloth and allow it to
swell for 30 minutes unpestered in a warm
place.
6) Cleave the dough into two mounds and
choose a favorite. Don’t apologize. Work it
by pulling the sides down and tucking them
under the bottom. Repeat 4-5 times on a
smooth, unfloured surface.
7) Roll the bald mass under the palm of your
hand until the ball is smooth and firm—
about one minute. Cover with a damp
towel and ignore attentively (flirt) for 15-20
minutes.
SAUCE:
1) In your coffee grinder, mix half of the
¼ cup olive oil, half of the bulk of the garlic
and half of the spices.
2) Do this again.
3) Heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a small
saucepan and sauté the remaining garlic and
onion for a couple of minutes until feeble.
4) Mix 1, 2 and 3 together.
DATE:
1) Make your oven clean, warm and inviting,
smell pleasant and don’t wear panties.
2) Dip the ball of dough into flour, shaking off
excess, and begin to stretch it. Press on the
center and spread it into an 8-inch circle with
the outer border a little fatter than the inner
circle.
3) Spoon on sauce and rub it around, then
strew toppings haphazardly.
4) Bake for 10-12 minutes.
5) Enjoy reservedly, suppressing your awareness
of the sour inevitable.
6) You will be hungry again tomorrow.
