Last month, pizza school was rescheduled due to inclement weather. This date has been burning a hole on our calendar.
I love Dewey's Pizza! I think it has some of the best pizza in the St. Louis area, or anywhere for that matter. And when Andy told me that they were holding a mini "pizza making class," I jumped at the chance to attend.We walked into the little restaurant, which was closed down for this special event, and took our place a small table by the windows. A kind waitress took our drink orders, and we were called back to the kitchen.
We donned our aprons, washed our hands, and took our place in front of the dough tossing window for all to see. A pizza expert shared the secrets of a perfectly crafted crust and taught us how to toss the dough through the air.
We were passed onto another person who walked us through all the toppings (oh so many toppings!) If you ever do this, take our advice: There is such a thing as too much cheese on pizza.
After our pizzas were finished, we were ushered back into the dining area, where we nibbled on salad before our pizzas were delivered to our table.
This was a wonderful activity! We had so much fun being creative with pizza! Though there is a cost, it includes your 13” pizza masterpiece, salad, drinks and a fun memory, and every penny goes to help that day's specific organization.

All the proceeds from today will go to Camp Rainbow, a group that serves children with cancer and blood-related diseases by providing them with an authentic camping experience in a safe environment. Andy and I would encourage everyone to
participate in the next pizza making event. We might even want to join you!

so neat I love this story!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachael! Andy and I really had a blast! Hope you're doing well!
DeleteYou and your love of cheese pizza. A combo made in heaven!!!
ReplyDeleteMy squash and cucumbers are doing great. I hope if the weather cooperates to have them out on the back porch to harden off later this week. I'm trying two new varieties this year.A straight neck yellow variety Amberpic a patty pan variety Total Eclispe. I've never grown patty pan before so we'll see what happens. The Rutgers tomato from Granny's sprouted quickly but seems to be dying so I planted a cherry tomato seed yesterday called Tiny Tim. My pepper seeds refuse to sprout so I'm starting over, this time soaking the seeds first before planting. I planted a bibb, buttercrunch and romaine seed the other day. This morning the romaine had sprouted. I've never grown romaine,have you? The seed package says it"s great for containers so I think I'll try it that way. I wish I room for much more but that's about the extent of my garden. I'm anxious to hear what you have planned for your patio, keep me posted.
Have a great day my friend :)
Andy and I love romaine and I have grown it before in pots and it has worked out perfectly. Keep in mind that, unless you space out when you plant them, they will all be coming up at the same time, which could mean a big romaine lettuce harvest. Just saying, make sure you have friends to help you enjoy it. We were eating lettuce for weeks!!
DeleteHave you ever tried cut and grow lettuce? I did that last year and that was kind of neat. I've never grown squash or zucchini, maybe I should consider for this year? I'll keep you posted. I really do have to get to work on my garden before it's too late. Thanks for keeping me motivated!
Have a fantastic week, Julia!
