Thanksgiving Mystical Pizza
In a typically weird-o attempt to use some of the Thanksgiving booty, I created a decent little pizza pie for myself.
Starting with my usual all-whole-wheat pizza dough, I topped this 10" critter with cranberry sauce, chopped roasted turkey meat, toasted squash seeds, and just a bit of queso fresco acquired just 8 hours earlier and 5 hours away in Juarez. (The cheese was queso blanco, a mozzarella-like fresh cheese with a mellow saltiness.)
The result? Well, like any weird pizza, it was a bit .... weird. But damn good. The cornmeal I used to roll out the dough worked well with the turkey, and the cheese lent some richness to an otherwise very light concoction.
My dining partners had instead a more traditional pepperoni and mushroom pie, also with that wonderful Juarez queso.
And how about that Juarez trip, you ask? Well, here's a run-down:
(Okay, okay, the last one is a cheat - but can anyone guess where between Juarez and ABQ the photo was actually taken?)
