So what fancy dish did I cook tonight??
Pepperoni Pizza! Real fancy right? ;) Anyway, I think this was my 10th(?) time making this. Every time I cook this thing, the bread ends up being a bit too crunchy. I think it's because I tend to leave it in the oven for a bit too long. I like my pepperoni crispy. Well, I decided to try something different today. I opted to bake the pepperoni by itself first. I figured this would be good for two reasons: (1) I can lessen the time the pizza is in the oven and (2) I can reduce the amount of oil on the pizza by draining the pepperoni on a paper towel.

I don't know if it was because I cooked the pepperoni separate or because I actually got fresh bread from the bakery today, but it tasted pretty good. The bread (Italian) was just right. It was crispy but also tender as well. The more I think about it, I think it's really because of the bread I got. Today's bread was really fresh and soft. Maybe I should start getting bread from a bakery instead of the supermarket bakery.
For the past 6+ months, I've had this damn bag of buffalo wings from Costco. I've been too lazy to throw it out but today I finally decided to do it. When I told H that I was going to toss it out, he told me to throw out all the drumsticks and just cook the mid-joints for him. So even though it had been "expired" for 2 weeks, I decided to cook it anyway :) Oh BTW, the left side are my left over Korean wings (H bought chicken and rice so he couldn't finish all the wings that day).
