Yesterday I was overly ambitious in my attempt to throw a pizza for the first time. Little did I know that "throwing" does not technically apply to the tossing of the dough up in the air, but actually describes the moment you pick the pizza up on the giant spatula and place it in the pizza oven at top speed. If you are not fast enough, or smooth enough, or have enough pizza-magic, then other things happen that do not equal making pizza.

This is the easy part.

Catching it is a little tricky.

Building the pizza is harder than you might think: you have to make sure nothing spills over the edge on to the pizza stone in the oven, and you don't want to make it too heavy or else it's hard to throw. My pizza is way too big and too heavy.

This is me, about to throw the pizza. My friend realizes I am oblivious to how hard it is to do so she is moving all the fixings out of the way.

My friend is way smarter than me.

We wrapped it up into a calzone. Did you know it takes approximately 15 seconds to cook a pizza in a real pizza oven?

And if you wait 20 seconds, it looks like this. The husbands gladly ate it. The wives waited for the next one.
