Homemade Pizza and Pumpkin Bread with Cranberries

Nothing better than making your own pizzas from scratch and man was it tasty.

For this one the toppings are:

pepperoni, mushroom, spinach, red onion, green pepper, and banana pepper

Yes, that is a bicycle pizza cutter

mouthwatering close-up in your face

As if you were not drooling already from the pizza.  Let me show you the Pumpkin Bread with Cranberries my wife made, and let me tell you it is not lasting long in this house between the four of us. 

As you can tell I love taking close-ups of food, especially great food.

New Years Ride

This is something I had wanted to start last year, but had put off until this year.  Nothing like starting the New Year off with a ride.  So, I went out to Umstead State Park this afternoon since all the mountain bike trails are closed from the snow that fell over Christmas.  Well, the multi-use trails were sloppy and had the consistency of mashed potatoes at times that made the ride a grinder at times. 

  My weapon of choice for this ride was my new Vassago Fisticuff. What better way to break it in then on a day like today.  Knocked-out 14.5 miles in one hour and ten minutes, which is not bad for the conditions considering my rides take 55 minutes to an hour in dry conditions.  To my surprise there was a lot of people out there either riding, running or hiking.
