After visiting Larua & Brad, I am so lusting after two pieces of equipment they have - the salamander (in the kitchen pix) and the Kettle pizza cooker. I’m thinking this Kettle is the way to go for us, much less expensive to start with and it does a darn nice job of grilling pizzas.

Laura prepped 5 or 6 pizzas and each one was better than the other! Great flavors.

Brad acted as the little old pizza cooker and as you can see, he really gets into his job in comfort!

A couple of our pizzas and a good time was had by all!

And, she sent me home with a goodies bag of her garden goodies she has been preserving – all look darn good to me – now, to decide what to use first.
thanks so much Laura and Brad - and of course, it was fun seeing Maggie and Joe! Maggie's almost as tall as her mom already!
Supposed to rain today, so she has a great prime rib dinner planned with a surprise local dessert. Stay tuned……….
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
