Pizza on the BBQ

We are addicted to pizza on the barbecue. It's the yummiest homemade pizza. You've got to try it while its still good BBQ weather. 1. Turn your grill to a really low setting. 2. Make your dough (any old recipe), gather pizza sauce and mozzarella and the toppings of your choice. I hear Fresh and Easy has a pizza dough you just buy in a little bag, all ready to go. 3. Spray a piece of wax paper (or foil) with Pam and roll out your dough to a size that will fit on your grill. 4. Carefully flip the dough onto your grill and close the lid. Get all your other ingredients outside. It only takes a couple minutes for the dough to cook. 5. Flip the dough over and quickly top the baked side with sauce, cheese and toppings. Bert and I always do this part together so it goes a little faster. Close the lid to melt the cheese but don't burn the second side. Sometimes we even turn the grill off but keep the pizza on the warm grill. Walla! Pizza on the BBQ. You'll feel like you work at ...

Dilly Beans

This is my mom's famous recipe for canned "dilly beans". She uses fresh dill grown in her backyard. You'll like them if you like pickles. There is never a Dunaway function without them. Wash fresh green beans and snip off the ends. Put 1 clove garlic and 1 head dill (when it reaches the seed stage) in a pint-sized jar, then pack the jar tight with as many beans that will fit. Brine: 2 c. vinegar 2 c. water 1/4 c. salt - no iodine! 1/4 t. cayenne pepper Heat brine & warm lids. Cold pack in water bath & boil for 10 minutes. If you're like me and have never canned before, that may have sounded like Chinese, but I'm posting it for my canning guru friend. I think someday I'll get there. I would guess there would be a time to wait to make sure the pickling process was complete, but I don't know how long that would be.
