Apology to all my loyal fans
That post was only half of what I meant it to be. After what you see there I was going to post "This is what Steve did tonight" and show you the video of him using his new Neti Pot.
Unfortunately, the video wouldn't upload and I ended up with half of a post.
Sigh.
Not that you want to watch water dripping from my husband's nose anyway.

Pizza Time!
First things first, toss out your favorite pizza crust recipe into a disk to form your crust.
Thanks, Steve, what a fantastic demonstrator you are. And that apron makes you look as good as this pizza is going to taste.
Next you'll want to fill your food processor with some fresh spinach and pulse until its finely chopped. Throw in about 3/4 cup of cottage cheese, along with some minced garlic, basil, and oregano. You know how much you like these, add to your own preference.
Pulse until you get a smooth pale green sauce. The cottage cheese will have become more of a ricotta texture. Spread on your crust, but leave a fairly wide edge.
If you want to add some portabellas to your pizza, now is a good time to remove the stems and chop them to your desired size.
Brush the fungi with some olive oil, and while you're at it brush some on that edge of your crust you left bare.
Sprinkle heartily with mozzerella cheese, top with a little chedder and asiago if your heart desires. When it comes to cheese my heart always desires.
Sprinkle some finely grated asiago or parmesan cheese on the oiled edges of your crust. If you have any doubts about how fantastic this will be please throw them out the window and try it. Trust me.
Add your mushrooms, a little more cheese, perhaps, and some coarsly ground black pepper. Sniff and enjoy the aroma.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400° for 10-14 minutes. When the cheese is melted and the crust is lightly browned and your house smells like heaven it is done. Remove, slice, wait 2-3 minutes so you don't burn the roof of your mouth.
Enjoy! Tell me how you like it so I know if I should keep creating recipes for your personal enjoyment.
But I will, anyway... for mine.
