Cornish Game Hen

This was great fun to make and actually pretty easy, surprisingly. I thought it turned out pretty well. It was tasty at least. The only downside was the inside of the bird kinda reminded me of a certain part of female anatomy so salting the bird thoroughly kinda made me cringe a bit. Other than that, I still had fun making something new and having it actually turn out well. Now just to find an even tinier bird so that I can bake the single serving size version! I will definitely have to try to remember this one. 

And for dessert James made cheesecake. I'm gonna have to leave him home alone with cream cheese more often. I didn't make this or even see it done so my comments are limited to just Yum.

Pizza

This was my first attempt at flying solo on making crust. It was pretty plain since I have neither bread flour nor cornmeal but was still pretty tasty. It might have been a little dry. It also had a lot of crunch to it (but in a good way) and was thinner on the bottom than I expected. I think maybe I needed to knead it more so that it had more elasticity as a dough? Not really sure on this one. I used a pre-shredded Italian six cheese blend on top and it was fantastic. The tomato bacon and pepperoni that went under the cheese was quite good too. Overall I would definitely consider this a successful first flight.
