The Day After Our Meal at the Michelin Starred Restaurant
I'm using the pot from your slow cooker as a mixing bowl because you don't own a mixing bowl. There's flour, salt and yeast, and I invite you to knead the mixture into a dough. You tell me that you don't like getting your hands sticky, but that you do like to chop vegetables. I say that chopping is my least favourite cooking activity. Together, we make a vegetable covered pizza. And that is when I first knew that we would work well together. Sitting over slices of freshly baked dough topped with whatever veg was in your fridge, smiling.
