PizzaWe got a couple of Dr. Oetkers frozen pizzas for our dinner this evening. We weren't in the mood of cooking and pizza seemed like a good idea. They were simple to prepare by just putting them on the rack of a preheated oven. We just got a new oven and it has a nice digital display which tells us the exact temperature inside. Despite this and preheating the oven to the recommended temperature the pizzas still were not cooked. I thought that 10-12 minutes was optimistic. I don't know why manufacturers do this, but its a pain. Anyway after about 17 minutes they were ready. Very tasty - mine was salami and Emma's vegetable. The bases are very biscuity - not like a bread pizza base at all. Still they did job. At about 800 calories each they would want to be filling though. If you were particularly hungry, they would not fill you up.
Reckon we will make our own next time.
Home brew
Tried the first of the home brew last night. Its very good. Next time I will add a little more priming sugar to get a slightly gassier beer and it also needs more time to mature. Waiting is hard, but know that I have had the first sup I will put it away for a while. A month or two would be ideal. Once I have 40 empty bottles I will brew again. The brew is still a bit cloudy at this stage, but most of that will clear in time. Well worth the effort.
