Somebody's Darling @ Central Market
microphone during an Old97s and Slobberbone show." - Dallas Observer
How many other reason do you need to see a FREE show?
Somebody's Darling opened by Derek Larson and The Leavers @ Central Market's TNL '11 (assuming that is Thursday Night Live 2011).
Funny story. I saw them a few years ago, lets call it 2009 at La Grange in Deep Ellum, when I was out on the patio looking across at Trees and saw a glow stick dork twirling glow sticks and smacked himself in the face with one.
July 21st (Thurs) 630-930pm

Pizza!
2 ¼ tsp. yeast
1 ½ cups of water (beer is good too!) Make sure it’s lukewarm, to help activate the yeast
½ tsp brown sugar
2 Tb Olive Oil
3 1/3 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
I use mostly whole wheat flour, but whatever you like is good. Mix this all and you’ll probably have to add a little more flour to make it not sticky depending on the humidity outside etc. It should be malleable, not dry or stick to your fingers. Let it raise until it doubles in size, it is fine just sitting in a bowl on the counter for an hour or longer.
I usually split this recipe into 4 ziploc bags and freeze them. It makes 4 thin pizzas, but you can make them thicker if you choose.
I bake my pizza on the bottom rack of the oven at about 450 for 10 min. That also depends on how you like and your oven. Don’t forget to spray your pizza pan with non-stick spray or olive oil so it doesn’t stick!
So, take some time to make some pizza dough, then invite others to come over with their toppings and enjoy a night of cooking! What an amazing way to have fellowship with others? Plus, it's great for letting everyone have their own personal pizza at an affordable cost!
Enjoy!

Destined to live up to it...
Boty and I have realized that so many of life's pleasures can be enjoyed on that beer budget (and sometimes a wine too), so we are setting out to share them with you. From running adventures to late night excursions, fun recipes to coupon clipping... get ready for fun.
So, our inaugural post has to be our inaugural meeting... The Fort Worth Water Gardens!
The Fort Worth Water Gardens are a hidden gem in Fort Worth. Located across from The Omni downtown, it is near the hustle and bustle of the city, yet you feel like you are a million miles away from the world. It's a serene experience and a family-friendly place to go.
My favorite is shown below. Take the kids, a picnic or a book to read... It's free and it's definitely Fort Worth.
Enjoy!
