In keeping with family tradition, we spent our Sunday evening with a pizza dinner and a movie. Gone are the days where we call up the pizza delivery and we have hot, fresh pizza in 45 minutes.
It was about a 2 hour process and took some teamwork, but we made our first homemade pizza here in PNG. We began with making the pizza dough. I mixed the dough, Chad did the kneading and shaping on the dough. Next came the sauce, thankfully we can get some canned foods at the store here, so we opened up a can of tomatoes and a can of tomato sauce, added some spices and other things and made a lovely pizza sauce. Now for the toppings... we can get mozzarella and parmesan cheese here at the store so we used that to make the kids a cheese pizza. For the grown up pizza, we chopped up some meat sticks they sell here as a snack item (it's the closest we could find to pepperoni), sliced some olives (from a can), and chopped up some pineapple (fresh from our garden).
The overall consensus... delicious. So, while it's no pizza delivery, we felt pretty good about it. I am constantly amazed at the resources we have here in the food department.
