well in an effort to save money I am trying to make home made pizza.
My basic technique is to steal other peoples recipies, and using them as my own.
Like this guy for example.

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.
Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out. Use for your favorite pizza recipe.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). If you are baking the dough on a pizza stone, you may place your toppings on the dough, and bake immediately. If you are baking your pizza in a pan, lightly oil the pan, and let the dough rise for 15 or 20 minutes before topping and baking it.
Bake pizza in preheated oven, until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

well I had another phone interview with an HR manager, and it went well, so hopefully I will have anohter one soon with the President of the company. I can’t say who it is with because hireing me may mean that they will let someone else go, and he does not know about it.
I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.
I was able to get through to Unemployment, and made claims all the way back to the Christmass week, and I was able to get my name and address all sorted out.

Well In-Laws are safely back in Russia, and Kids are back to daycare, and I have a level 80 in World of Warcraft. Now all I have to do is find a job.
There are two interviews that I have for this week, so hopefully they will go well.
On the down side, Olya’s work will be laying people off in March, so here is hoping that Olya makes the cut {I’m footing for you honey}; also her Dad is also unemployed, essentially, as the only customer they have has decided not to pick up their contract.
On the plus side I am dabbling with baking, and have a nice recipe for Russian Pie, and have a freash loaf of home made bread in the cupboard.
Damien had a good time swimming, he actaully propelled himself very well, while on his back clutching a foam kick baord for dear life {maybe it was the sense of immanent doom that provided motivation}.
Boys both went down by 9:15, when they asked for “Mommy” who is a sucker too kind hearted, I just told them it was “Just Daddy”, Sergey didn’t take it well but he went down anyway.
