Two pizzas tonight, one pepperoni (turkey); and one Italian Sausage with onions and heirloom tomatoes.  The tomato sauce was a family secret canned recipe...still fighting the inlaws to get the ingredients.  The finished pizza's are shown here on two Emile Henry Pizza stones.  Great for cooking and/or for serving.
