Recipe #3

I made pizza from scratch (with no help) and using Laura's recipe for the dough. I did the whole yeast rising thing and my pizza was delicious. I made one with regular stuff - onions, peppers, sausage. The other had gorgonzola on the whole thing and one side with basil, tomato, and olive oil...the other half with caramelized onions. Delicious. Thanks, Laura! (The lighting doesn't do the deliciousness of the meal justice)

Book #24 - Shantaram

A couple of weeks ago, I read Shantaram... Before I knew I was going to India...

It's by Gregory David Roberts and although quite long (900+), I found it to be a solid read. It's a true story based on the author's escape from Australian prison and his subsequent involvement with the powerful mafia of Mumbai.

Besides just being a fascinating story, I also think that some of the tidbits included will make my own journey that much more interesting. I wish I could go to Mumbai and see some of the places he discusses. Anyway, I would recommend this book highly.
