New Years 2010 with Guest Chefs Charlie Rattigan and Jim Giller




 A fun way to start 2010 was pizza night on New Years Eve with our good friends Martha and Jim Giller, Charlie and Beth Rattigan and  Peggy and Mike Willis. Katelyn and Kelly Willis and friends made a guest appearance. The guest chefs were Charlie Rattigan and Jim Giller.

Charlie used a baguette recipe from King Arthur Flour and the link for that recipe is  







 

Charlie shows how thin the pizza is.

Jim and Charlie watch carefully as the pizza bakes.



After making the baguette recipe, James Rattigan, Charlie and Beth’s son, rolled the dough very flat and baked it. This is a procedure he learned by working in a local Italian Trattoria. Charlie brought 4 of these flat pizza shells. All of us had prepared various toppings which included: caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, red peppers, sliced tomatoes, goat cheese, fresh mozzarella, grated mozzarella, cooked hamburger, pepperoni and basil

Charlie and Jim went right to work topping the pizzas with care and putting them in the oven to bake.
As we anticipated the delicious pizza we enjoyed each others company. Soon the pizza was ready. The evening passed quickly and before long we were counting the New Years ball down.  Happy New Years!
