I've just come from the dentist and it was awful b I've just come from the dentist and it was awful but now afterwards not so bad! Glad I took the rest of the day off though.

On the weekend we tried this recipe from Louisa Holst's new book. I've always wanted an easy way to make my own pizza with real bread dough and I think I found it. It came out like a pizza pie but still good. My son is very fussy, he moaned that he could have done a better job but he still ate it. 

What do you think? Would you try it? Full recipe and comments up on the blog.
