Yes, it’s another round of pizza and crafting—two of my favorite things. Saturday night Tino came over so we could work together on a birthday banner for a friend. And to fortify ourselves I made pizza for dinner, or, as she called it, Wasserman’s Three-Cheeser with Butternut Squash.

This is an all-white pie. I didn’t use any sauce at all, only drizzled some olive oil on the dough and chopped garlic—maybe three cloves.

I topped the pie with spoonfuls of ricotta cheese, sliced mozzarella, and parmesan, and after about five minutes baking I opened the oven door and added the butternut squash I’d sautéed earlier. Bake for about 7 or 8 minutes more, or until the crust is your desired shade of golden brown, then sprinkle with parsley and top the pie with arugula dressed with lemon and salt and pepper. Or, serve the arugula on the side. Whatever floats your boat.

And, this is the songbird banner in layout stage made for my friend, Jeannie, also called Jeannie-bird and Jnz. Hence, the tiny blue jeans…get it?
