Imgur Secret Santa :D

Alas, it has arrived! I didn't have a banana so... tea light for scale?

I was waiting for my Secret Santa back home (aka constantly checking my mail and watching my postman from my window). Little did I know, I had actually put my apartment address when I signed up... So when I finally came back home from the holidays, I see the UPS slip on my door and I was so excited!! First thing I did when I woke up today was go to the office where the package was dropped off in my lovely pjs and morning breath.

I forgot to take pictures of the stuff once I opened it, but it was a gift basket to make pizza!

I love to cook so my secret santa hit the nail on the head with this :) I've actually made pizza plenty of times, but never made the dough (Publix coming through). Since I forgot to show what was inside the box... heres a brief list and you can imagine it for yourself: a pizza stone and metal rack to serve, a checkered tablecloth, rosemary&basil crust mix, pizza sauce, whole pepperoni sausage, a bottle with four different italian herb blends, and a pizza cutter! So since none of my roommates (including myself) went grocery shopping, I thought it would be great to make the most kickass pizza this world will come to know. We did end up buying some ingredients, but here's the 'za before we put it in the oven.

oh yea

Breakdown: the basil and rosemary crust which we made, sauce and this pesto I had in fridge, cheese, pepperoni (handcut, oooo), mushrooms sauteed in the same pesto, spinach, more cheese, and more pesto! Yummy :3 It was actually a mission to make the dough because we ran out of flour and had to make a quick run.

Look at it. LOOK AT IT.

Its so beautiful!

you know you want it

I love food porn.

come and get me ;)

The crime scene...

It was probably the best pizza I've had... And my roommates (@ctjm and @joycerider ) and I had to have a moment of silence. Thank you so much @imamermaidgangleader !!! I really appreciate this gift and I hope you've been feeling better :( It was a really great gift, though, and I got to share it with my favorite people <3 I really hope you all had a great holiday and stay golden.
