....is a New Pizza Recipe Date

Ingredients for the Dough:

2-1/2 Cup Flour

1-1/2 tsp Salt

1 Tbsp Yeast

1 Cup Warm Water

Mash the Yeast in the water with a fork until smooth. Pour over Flour and mix until a soft Dough is formed. Kneed will, pulling and stretching until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape into ball, cut across the top place in a bowl and cover. Let it rise in a warm place for about 3 hours until it's almost doubled in size. 

Flatten the dough with the palm of your hand and roll out on a lightly floured surface to a round about 1/4 in thick. Brush a cookie sheet with Oil or preheat your pizza stone. Brush the Pizza Dough with Oil and add the toppings, leave a 3/4 in margin around the edge.

A very important ingredient in the whole making is a lovely assistant to top the pizza.

....is a Spicy Corn Soufflé Date

Soufflé di Mais Piccante

2 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Flour
Scant 1 Cup of Milk*
1-1/2 Cup Parmesan
3 Eggs, Separated
2 Cups Canned Sweetcorn, Drained
1/2 Bell Pepper, Diced
1/2 Fresh Chile, Finely Diced
Paprika
Salt & Pepper

*I learned a new cooking term: 'scant means "No more than" in cooking parlance. So, don't add one drop of milk more than 1 cup.' and then I learned another new word: 'Parlance: A particular way of speaking or using words, esp. a way common to those with a particular job or interest.'

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees. Grease an 8x8 pan with butter.

Melt the Butter in a small pan over low heat, stir in the Flour and gradually stir in he Milk.

Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and smooth, then remove from the heat, stir in Parmesan and let cool slightly.

Beat in the Egg Yolks, one at a time.

Stir in the Corn, Bell Pepper, Chile, Paprika, Salt and Pepper.

Stiffly whisk the Egg Whites and fold in. Spoon into the prepared dish and Bake for 20 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 5 minutes more.
