A personal sized pizza made with a cornmeal-flour crust, san marzano tomato sauce, part skin mozzerella, and salchichon iberico (a fatty, spanish sausage). 

So, for the pizza dough, here's the recipe (imperial units)

1 cup of water
1 pack of yeast
2tbsp sugar
a handful of salt
dissolve into a big mixing bowl, wait for yeast to bloom
once its bloomed, add about 1/4 cup olive oil
2 cup of water, and start with 2 cups of flour
you want it to be wet enough that it is sticky, but dry enough that it comes together
so adjust accordingly
Mix aggressively with a spoon until your arm gets tired, unless you're a cripple, then switch arms and do the other side.
then cover it with a bit of cornmeal at a time
and start kneading the fuck out of it
I suggest slapping it, punching it, slamming it back into the bowl, slapping it etc.
handle it rough
beat it into submission
once you can pull it to the point its translucent without tearing
you can either
A) cold ferment it for 2-10 days
or
 B) divide into balls, and proof for an hour
then stretch the dough out on a peel dusted in cornmeal
shake it around to ensure it's sliding free
then assemble your pizza, and put it into a preheated, max temp oven with a pizza stone or steel inside of it for 45 mins prior.
Bake for 8-15 mins, depending on size.

We make pizza on the BBQ quite often. If that sounds like a crazy idea, this BBQ is essentially a ceramic, wood burning oven.

We let the kids decorate their own pizza. The result is maybe not the culinary highlight of the century but it's great fun for everybody and it tastes really good.

Very Nice!

Did any of you folks serve up a "traditional" holiday dinner over Christmas/New Year's (or whatever other holiday you may have recently celebrated)?

I roasted a turkey for a fairly traditional Canadian holiday dinner with my sisters, nieces, nephews, etc.  (I'd have taken pics, but was a little preoccupied with cooking and serving it!)  Even if you didn't prepare it yourself, I'm always curious about how others celebrate the holidays with good food, especially if you're from a different part of the world than me.

I had a dinner with family, but it was hardly traditional. We did a pork loin with a special chimmichurri on it, pilaf, steaks, roasted sweet potatoes etc.
