Ok - so to my Pizza.

I know im a stubborn prick. And I know I go overboard with things.

But theres a reason I don't follow recipes. Its not because im stubborn, or because I go overboard. It just never works. Anytime I use a recipe, whether from a book, word of mouth or even on the back of a cereal box - it all goes to hell.

I got a pizza recipe from the newspaper AGES ago, that i've been meaning to try it out, since it was by a pretty good columnist. It had your basic pizza recipe - but as you probably figured out, I don't use recipes. They were calling for all this weird stuff in weird quanitities, and throughout the whole time.. I kept on saying to myself.. "err... is this right", "umm this looks wrong".

So me being me, and after years of being yelled at to not be stubborn, I ignored my instincts. I used what they told me to use. Exactly as well. I used tinned tomatoes as the base.. and my dough had oil, milk, water, flour etc..

I guess that was alright. But I kind og forgot the fact that I've never used an oven in my life. I have one - but it don't work - so i don't use it. I decided to use my bbq, which has a therometer inside, and if you set the bbq to 220 degrees, same thing as an oven that temperature right?

I've only made grilled pizza (which is oh so easy). This on the other hand - after recipe following - turned into moosh. Tinned tomatoes (even after they've been concerntrated) neve make a good base. I knew that. But the recipe told me too use it! The base (which was already extra doughy and floury, went extra soggy. And then holes formed. And then.. the cheese fell through that hole, and slid through it - like a slug through a drain pipe.

It tasted ok - besides the doughy bit. And really - theres only so much you can get at a corner shop. I was thinkin buffalo mozzerella and rocket, and chizoro. What I ended up comming back with was, Green olives, tinned tomatoes and meui meu mozerella cheese.

It was ok. But my body didn't think that way.

I spent pretty much the rest of the night trying to get it out of my body any was possible. I've made great pizza before. This.. was not my creation. This was the result of my incapability to follow instructions - and I paid for it.

The body is amazing how many ways it can reject something from your system. No matter how long ago it was, How small, or How much you've done before - you always know what made you sick - "i think it was the oysters".
