easy pizza



The other night we made a delicious pizza. Although one day I'd like to, I didn't toss my own dough, but fairly inexpensively you can pick some up, and the rest is up to you.

We started by pan-frying some chicken breast, seasoned it with garlic and tabasco, as the chicken was finishing we added chopped red onion, red peppers, and asparagus, with a dash of olive oil and let it simmer on low heat while we coated the dough with a pesto sauce.

We then took everything from the pan and spread it over the dough, sliced a fresh tomato and dispersed it out across the top of the pizza, graded some Canadian cheddar and put it in the oven.

The oven was set to 400degrees and we just kept our eye on it until everything looked good, about 10mins or so I would say, not an exact science.

Serve with salad and an ice cold Steamwhistle!

Philip Glass


being a student of ACAD we are given a lot of cool opportunities, for instance earlier this semester I was given the chance to listen to Philip Glass speak about his career as a musician, very inspirational man. What I enjoyed most about meeting him and listening to him talk is he is just a dude. A lot of people become famous and have a 'better than you' attitude, but not Philip Glass. He was just another dude. Extremely talented, but just a dude.
