For the past year I've been making a lot of pizza and have learned the most important things to do to make a good pizza.

You can go crazy overboard with specifics and spend hundreds of hours perfecting your pizza. If you want to do this, I recommend joining and reading the online forum: PizzaMaking.com

(I made this pizza by heating my old oven to 525, baked it regularly and then broiled for 1-2 minutes at 1 inch away from the broiler's heating elements for extra crisp.)

This summer I grew several herbs, primarily basil. I grew them from seed, starting them off in my south-facing window. Then when the massive tree that dwarfs our house grew leaves, I moved them outside. First I put them in the backyard, but I eventually moved them to our only sunny spot - the sidewalk.

I highly recommend Stonewall Jerkey as a tough tasty vegan treat that comes in many different flavors.

The one problem is that it is too salty - so don't eat 4 oz of it at a time like I do.

Buying it online is the way to go if you want to save money. The website for Lumen Foods is horrible, but it does work.

I haven't tried it yet, but I think the jerky could make good sandwich material.
