Pizza, Beer, Friday Night Date Night

Indeed, what more could you ask for on a Friday night? The evening was utterly lovely, we had the roof open and cocktails on hand, and a freshly made batch of beer was conditioning in the closet.

Ahh, rats. So that means we didn't get to drink the homebrew. But we will in two weeks! Meanwhile, "Dook's Brew" conditions away, and our home is filled with sanitized and drying equipment as we gear up for the second brewing...

We made two pizzas for the evening: the first was an artichoke, ramp and ricotta pie, which wasn't actually all that satisfying, and the second was a date, bacon and blue cheese pie, which had all the properly balancing sweet/salty/savory notes until I got carried away and put ramp bulbs all over it...
which somehow turned the thing into a strangely Dorito-flavored concoction with bits of dates.

It was okay, but this is not something that I'd fully recommend anyone tries to duplicate, unless a sweet, Dorito-y pie actually sounds good to you. Hmm.
