Happy to see pizzas from both sides of the nation!  Different styles but both look awesome!  Robbie's pic of her slice has all the good stuff. I am a big fan of seafood pizzas as well Trout, definitely a couple of slices would fill me up!
Next day pizza on the menu, woohoo! :yahoo:

The Grandkids are coming out on the weekend But I will be away on a job so I froze one of the pizzas and will make them a raisin bread loaf for them just before I have to go away.
They are getting older now and just the lolly jar doesn't cut it anymore :angel:

We make pizza a lot. It often means the entire afternoon in the kitchen so we try and go with the less is better approach. Mark always makes the base. Come to think of it Mark does most of it. We need to feed 6 of us so it's usually a meat pizza -pepperoni, ham etc. Then another with potato slices, rosemary and mozzarella. Another that's zucchini slices and mozzarella. If I get to the pizza there's pineapple on the meat pizza and I'm likely to use the entire tin! Mark likes those teeny salty fish! I'll take a piccy next time.

[robbiegal]

sounds yummy

yep i went and bought a little can of the salty fish (alwaysfresh brand) - anchovies - small but pack a tasty punch

my hipster pizza place has those pizza with potato slices, rosemary and mozzarella - they look alright too

pizza can feed a family - large or small!! but yes, they also take half the day to make!!

I did get "Chatted" about forgetting the Pineapple and come to think of it  a bit if pineapple would have gone down a treat :good:

I'm surprise how fast they can churn these out at the takeaway pizza shops. We normally order online from Eagle Boys and from the time of pressing submit to the time of picking up is only 10 minutes. They don't compare to the homemade version though.

[robbiegal]

gee haven't seen an Eagle Boys for years!

[robbiegal]

off to Sydney again tomorrow
if we stay there over the week end I might even drop over to mr roberts shop before the big move and while the fire sale is on!!

after years of having a gawd awful barely there side fence that was rotted and ruined by the neighbours 6 foot thick vines - we have a colourbond fence in it's place

looks amazing - and the hubby has the blackberry poison as the ready for when the horrible vines grows over or under the new fence!! the old (and now frail) neighbours' son in law is also going to poison their side of the fence

although i have lived here for 17 years and I have never once seen the neighbor do anything in his back yard - once a year or so the family would all get out cutting back stuff when they visited and that was usually his elderly sister from darwin - so it ended up a jungle

it really has taught me that if you're going to grow old then get your gardens in a manageable state or get help in - these vines killed our plum tree and are strangling all of his fruit trees, grape vines and ornamental plants - they are incredible. ivy at it's worst

Roundup is you friend RG, It takes a while to work but by crikey it is effective :good:

[robbiegal]

do you spray it on the leaves of the plant?

the neighbors' S-I-L said the vines have to come back to life - post winter and digging out - he literally took away about 7 large skips of the stuff - he actually had a removal truck from his work as a kitchen cabinet maker

so the plans is to spray the leaves - i think he also has blackberry poison in mind

the hubby says that the round up killed the leaves but the vines didn't die when he used it years ago


i hate using sprays but the destruction from these vines is incredible

[trout]

Yes you spray the entire plant leaves and all.
The secret to using roundup is to wait a few weeks and let the poison do its job and kills the plant completely, including the root system.
If you chop the plants down prematurely it will actually help the plant to survive, It normally takes a few weeks before roundup completes its job :ok:
