While the chili pizza was fine, I am not quite convinced that it was worth the effort.
Anyway, now I should be able to get back to work.

Big lunch plans (LIVE) - 6
A few minutes ago I took the chili pizza out of the oven.

Things are definitely looking up for this overly complicated lunch I have gotten myself into.
I rolled the dough and put in on a pizza pan.
I then loaded the dough up with the chili and the toppings (celery, red pepper, and red onion).
Not surprisingly, I then placed the prepared pizza in the oven.
My next problem to deal with is the leftover dough. What am I going to do with this extra dough?
I presume that in about 20 minutes I will finally be able to sit down to lunch.

The dough has now been kneaded, though I really should have waited to do this until after I had prepared the toppings. Now things are all out of whack.
And because you want to see a video of me punching dough I have been kind enough to provide you with one.

The oven is now pre-heating and I am actively mentally preparing myself to knead and roll the pizza dough. I am also in the midst of thinking about an order of operations for topping preparations, though at this point I haven't quite figured out how I plan on approaching things. Hopefully within a few minutes I will have a plan in hand.

The dough is still rising. I guess it will take another few minutes. Presumably I should have already started to pre-heat the oven. I guess I will do that right now.

A few minutes ago I was sitting at my desk thinking about what I might like to have for lunch. For some reason I was reminded of the recent cheese and tomato free pizzas that I have made and tempted in that direction. Unfortunately, I also remembered that we have a number of leftovers in the fridge, so I would feel bad about making something completely new when so much food has already been prepared. Furthermore, the chili that I made a few days ago is really tempting.
Fortunately, I found a solution to my problem. I decided to combine my desire to have pizza with my desire to work on the leftovers to create chili pizza (the chili will be used instead of the sauce and cheese).
Because I have all kinds of work to do I decided that I should probably live-blog my lunch preparation experience (with this as the first entry).
As an update, at the moment the dough is rising. I presume that it will need to rise for another few minutes (or maybe about 30 minutes).
Assuming all goes well, I should have this abomination in the oven in an hour or so. Can't wait (and I am sure that you, the reader, feel the same way).

A Few Quick Notes 115
-Today is another beautiful day in Montreal. For a while I was going to say that it is too warm, but upon further thought I have realized that that is not the case.
-It seems that the Globe must be reading this blog. One of the comments I posted yesterday about not seeing an increase in purchasing power was the subject of their headline story. I guess now that I have their ear I should push the big issues that are close to my heart.
-For lunch today I met up with a few friends from St. John’s. They are currently on their way across the country and back. While in Halifax several days ago they met up with Neil and Rebecca. In total their trip will last about nine months.
-Shortly I will be starting another weekend of work. In addition to my regular Thursday and Friday shifts I am also to be working a function on Sunday.
-On Saturday I am hoping to see my first college football game. The imfamous McGill Redmen will be playing a team from Acadia. As exciting as this may or may not be, I am sure it will be nothing compared to the Big Ten games many members of my family have attended in the past. College football isn’t quite the same up here.
In a strange way this timing is somewhat relevant as just a few days ago I started reading Paper Lion by George Plimption. Though this is by no means a rule or strategy book, it is helping me to understand a little more about the game.
-For the past few days I have been a little under the weather. Hopefully things start to turn around in the very near future. The strange thing is that I don’t seem to be alone. I get the sense that all kinds of people in Montreal have been or are sick.

A Few Quick Notes 108
[Written on Monday July 23, 2007]
-From yesterday’s rain and wind we have returned to the realm of beautiful weather. Fortunately, today managed to be beautiful without being oppressively hot and humid. High levels of humidity have been particularly problematic these past few days.
-As I was eating breakfast this morning I started to think about what I might want for lunch. Aside from the normal, and somewhat mundane, options, I thought that I might like a piece of the coffee cake that I baked on Sunday. As I was the only one in the kitchen I didn’t have a chance to make these sentiments known to anyone else. I continued along my way and tried my best to keep up with my typical morning routine.
After showering and dressing, I descended to the kitchen to finish my lunch preparations. Almost as soon as I walked in I noticed that my mother, father, and sister were sitting at the dining room table, each with a plate of scrambled eggs and cake in front of them. To add insult to injury, they left half a corner piece in the pan.
- While cataloguing a 1971 report on the population characteristics of unincorporated communities in Newfoundland and Labrador, I was struck by the first sentence of the report. The report opens by stating that it "provides basic detailed information…." While one can read it differently, it seemed a little odd to me that information could be considered basic and detailed at the same time. As I flipped through the report, this veracity of the statement became obvious. None of the information was complex, but certainly was detailed with age and gender breakdowns provided for very particular geographic locations.
