White Pizza

Gather round, chirruns. Uncle Lawman is going to tell you a story about back in the day.
Back in the day, when Lawman was a wee lad in the big city, he was taken under the expert tutelage of Roland Gene Perry, AKA "The Guru." Guru has forgotten more about police work than most cops will ever know, but the one thing he taught for this weeks entry is "The Stuffed Shell."
The Stuffed Shell was on Mountain Road right at Longhill where the old Brickhouse Bar was Beefalo Bobs is in half of the building now.
Guru took his brand new rookie for dinner there one night, and the white pizza was recommended. Lawman had never heard of a white pizza so he was intrigued. One could smell the garlic before the pizza came out. The first bite was magical, a symphony of garlic and cheese that left a lasting impression on everyone who tried one. And even some people who never dared try it. Case in point was one evening after a slice or two, we caught a call of a child on his bike had been struck by a car. We responded and so did the night commander. When Capt. Mullholland stepped out of his car his only question to us was "who's been eating garlic?"
The shell closed nearly 30 years ago, and Lawman has been on a mission to find another pizza that would compare. Lawman found a recipe for a white pizza sauce and he tucked it away for later. This past week Cupcake was on another whirlwind adventure for HCA leaving Lawman to his own devices for nearly a week. This seemed like a perfect time to make the white pizza since she doesnt love garlic like Lawman does.
The recipe called for 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Lawman laughed and laughed. He ended up with nearly a cup of garlic powder in the mix before he spread it on the scratch made crust.

Finished product

Fresh grated parmesan cheese

Cream, butter, garlic powder

Scratch made crust

We had a bunch of fresh mushrooms that were getting close to going bad, so he sliced them up and added them to the pizza. Traditional white pizza is just cheese, but we hate to waste food, so....
Lawman lived off the pizza until Cupcake returned. Once she did, a request was made for a soon to be world famous cobbler

The one non food related picture we have for this week is still kind of food related. One of our brown runner ducks has started laying. Her eggs are just a bit smaller than older duck eggs, but we're looking forward to all six giving us an egg a day.

We ended the week with grilled cheese sammiches and a nap.
