pizza

Been a couple of years since I went to Blue Water Pizza, but it was time to go back again. They have gluten free bases for a $5.20 surcharge, but they are nice bases!

Blue water pizza, Warners Bay

Started with a garlic crust. Which initially came out with cheese, despite a specific request for no cheese.

Vegetarian – Mykonos Pizza

Chicken and Prawn – Rio Grande (they were meant to bring out sweet chilli sauce and sour cream for it, too, but that didn’t arrive until we were halfway thru >:|)

Supposedly a greek salad. But it had sundried tomatoes instead of fresh ones, and some other roast veges from jars, and no red onion. It was.. weird. Oh and the plate was cold, so I think it had been in the fridge plated up all day ready to plonk on a table…

They did pass the soy latte making test this time though! :p

Home cooked glten free pizzas

The housemate had a box of Woolies gluten free pizza base mix she’s been bugging to use, so we put it to use over the weekend.

It needed to be rolled thinner, but otherwise worked well :)

Dinner at the Oatley Hotel

September 1, 2011 · 3 comments

Oatley Pub

Feeling very welcomed by my flatmate. We went with some of her friends to the Oatley Pub for dinner. After digging into some hot chips, I went a much needed salad for dinner, while the others raves about the pizzas.

So, my dear, you all want to hear the story behind why I arrived home on Thursday to Flowers from Crust Pizza?

As happens in the blogging world, arrangements are made at times for bloggers to try things, in the hope that they’ll like them and blog about how awesome they are.

This was the challenge for Crust, when their PR company accepted my challenge that a pizza could still be awesome when on a gluten free base, and without the mozzarella… (I, of course, then select a vegetarian pizza on top of that – but have feta, because it rocks and I’ve decided that I’m eating it regardless)

Crust Pizza

But why is the pizza reheated? And so crispy?

Well… the problem with getting PR to order, via the main office, then getting it delivered by the local franchise… is well, sometimes payments are miscommunicated, and Fiona and the pizza boy spend 20 minutes on the porch trying to sort it out, while Fiona almost cries in her panicky anxious everything always goes wrong way.

But it sorts out. PR company works their charms.

And the pizza was nice. Liked the pumpkin sauce. And the toppings. Will steal that idea for my home made pizzas!

Not sold on the base yet – probably because it was singed black by the time we ate it? Maybe next time my pizza will be hot from the box.

2 days later, I get home… to flowers on the doorstep!

Who are they from? Usually it’s my parents or Rish’s parents (or various lovers, of course)…

Flowers from Crust Pizza

aww. They made me smile.

(shame I’m currently without a vase, and they’re living in a cereal server Decor box! oh well!)

It feels like such a Sunday evening (except, it’s not! and there’s TWO more days in the weekend!), sitting on the couches, reading, listening (well, rocking out to :p) Triple J Hottest 100, Volume 4 (disc one and two… Who else has fond memories of Underground and Pepper??) and making Pizza!

In Brisbane last Saturday night, we had an awesome pizza from Picasso’s on Edward, just down from our hotel.

Brisbane
The Cezanne – lamb marinated in lemon, garlic and oregano with beetroot, olives, crushed chick peas, spinach, pine nuts

Delicious, especially paired with a bottle of wine (Taylor’s Unwooded Chardonnay – I much prefer un-oaked… ) and Tropic Thunder… :D

Brisbane

Their menu is really detailed on the ingredients, too, perfect for recreating and making more pizzas and pastas at home! :p

How was your Sunday?

Woke up to the news that the kettle was dead…. so went down to the local shops, but no luck in woolies, The Reject Shop, Aldi or Homeart. There were some in Target, but they started at $60. Uh, no thanks!

Headed into the Canberra Centre around lunch time, and success at Big W – Kettle for $8, radiant heater (which Rish is pretty much sitting on now!) for $18. Score! And a vanilla air freshener for the car for $2.

Rice paper rolls

Made a mess of the rice paper rolls I got from Sushi World for lunch. I don’t think they were packed tight enough. Their fault, right not mine? :p

Olive Oil in the Kinky Rum Bottle

Our olive oil is bought in massive 20L tins, so we needed something more manageable to decant it into. Fortunately, Rish came across this Kinky brand of rum. We used it at the cocktail party last year, and now use it for our olive oil :)

Olive oil of course being essential for a home made pizza night with friends. From the bases, to the marinade on the roo meat, to the salad dressing.

Pizza
Chicken, pumpkin, feta and pine nut. And home grown basil!

For a friend’s birthday last weekend, we had a bit of a rolling afternoon/evening. Started with lunch at Delissio’s in Braddon.

Hannah's Bday - Dellisio's

I ordered gnocchi and Rish went for a vegetarian roast vegetable pizza. I wasn’t overly fussed on the gnocchi (it was okay) but OMG the taste in the pizza. I happily stole a couple of slices of that! ;) I think it was the tangy goat’s cheese that did it for me :)

Hannah's Bday - Dellisio's

Being a birthday lunch, I just had to have coffee and cake – flourless orange cake often grabs me!

Hannah's Bday - Dellisio's

And I just loved the little cup my latte came in – mug-like, but still latte-esque, with the lack of handles. Good thing too, as it was after 3pm by then, and was starting to get a bit chilly out!

(and here are my home made pizzas from last night… before being ovened… there was kinda too much cheese on the bocconcini one :p Even did the dough myself – in the bread maker, of course!) [click to continue…]
