Tonight…OHIO!

*****SIGH*****

I have been humbled epicuriously.

Tonight I attempted a grilled BBQ Chicken Pizza.
I did my due diligence and scoured the net for the perfect recipe and found it on the Food Network site. The recipe seemed simple enough…and I followed it to the letter!

The problem was the dough. I cheated and bought Pillsbury’s pizza dough that comes in the little tube.

Easy enough…I thought.

I sliced the red onion and cherry tomatoes wafer thin, grated the mozzarella and smoked gouda, cooked 2 chicken breasts in garlic and olive oil and then cut them in to precise little cubes of deliciousness. All that remained was to prepare the dough.
I spread flour on the counter top and popped the can open as the coals heated in the pit.

Aaarrrrggghhhh!!!! I felt like the village idiot! How can such a simple process as spreading dough turn into something Rubik Cubian??? I started with a perfect rectangle and went through every geometric and animal shaped form known to man! I almost stopped with the horse, but finally settled on Ohio.

I tossed Ohio on the grill and after 5 minutes pulled it off and brought in to add the goodies. I spread a thin layer of Head Country BBQ sauce, spread the Gouda & Mozzarella like a heavy winters snow, threw on the onion and tomatoes and placed chicken on all the metropolitan areas. Back to the grill for another five minutes of cooking and back in for consumption.

Ohio tasted delicious!

We felt bad for devouring a Red State…but it was dinner.

Next week I’ll try again…I’m hoping for round.

But if not….maybe California.

Or possibly a unicorn.
