    I love this so much that I make it at least twice a month. I do add grated cheddar cheese and olive oil on top, but basically make it as shown here.

    The pizza looks great! These days, I generally prefer white pizzas without tomato sauce, so this one fits perfectly. I can also envision it with some meats or fish on it. The crust looks to be excellent, too.

    I have minor arthritis in my legs which can bother me when it is damp. Avocados are natures most powerful pain reliever, and I *SWEAR* that eating avocados takes my pain away within an hour 100%. Here is the recipe that I use for my avocado dip.

    I absolutely love avocado's! The dip looks great! My wife has arthritis (and other issues) and she follows a doctor who offers dietary advice to avoid a lot of foods and focus on eating certain other foods. Avocados are a key component of his diet. She swears by it and any time she is feeling worse than usual, she goes back on the diet.

    I will say that I do not understand the trend of avocado toast. Kind of a weird breakfast combination to me, but it is very popular these days.

    As we near the holidays, of course, I begin to think about fruitcake again. Have not yet found a reliable source of really good fruitcake, but it is probably all about the journey, anyway. I do have a new one to mention:

    fruitcake-carlis-sm.jpg

    The good news: it is an excellent fruit cake that is simply chock-full of candied fruits. So much so, that it makes the cake kind of crumbly with pieces of candied fruit. This makes it ideal for me, a candied fruit lover.

    The bad news: the first bite of the first slice included a few small pieces of hard nut shell (probably pecan.) Have had multiple slices since then and all was good. But, I am still a little wary on each slice. Pity, because this could otherwise be a go-to for me. Of course, with time and if there are no other incidents, it might just earn a top spot on the shelf.

    Alas, I do not bake. I am held captive by the forces of the fruitcake commercial market.

    I would omit the nuts but otherwise the recipe looks good, as does the finished product.

    The problem is that you kept on using your Gorden Ramsey Model tinfoil hat. When you had that on you would scream and shout at everybody, throw things, and generally flip out. If you would simply switch to your Julia Child Model tinfoil hat there would be peace in the kitchen, and you would soon learn how to bake.

    Just wait until we are finished researching and designing the Guy Fieri Triple D tinfoil hat with the Flavortown chinstrap. The R&D department have all gained five pounds, on average, working in the lab on this.
