Our experience with pizza in Russia has not been a positive one. The first time we had it we had pizza with pickles and another one with tuna fish. A few weeks ago the elders bought a couple and they were supposed to be pepperoni...it was some sort of sausage but NOT pepperoni.
We were exhausted Friday night - very busy week. Two of our students showed up an hour early and hung out - Sherry put them to work making flashcards for English night.
The youth decided that once a month our English night would include cooking. Last night we made pizza...real, American style pizza. Sherry made our secret pizza crust - which we stole from Christopher - and some great sauce. After hunting all over town we found pepperoni at Metro, a big store only an hour bus ride away! Couldn't find Italian sausage but we did find fennel - so, we made our own! The kids made one pepperoni and sausage, one Hawaiian, one veggie and one combo. The pizzas must have been two inches thick because they really piled the toppings on. Man, were they GOOD!
We started making pizzas when I was a Sunday School teacher for the twelve-year-olds. We used to have the students bring the meat they wanted and we'd provide the crust and sauce and cheese. Jeff Roberts - who is about fifty-years-old now - brought bologna. We've been making pizza with students for 38 years - Sherry was pregnant with Christopher the first time.. If you add cooking for activities and camps I wonder how many pizzas we've made?
