Recipe: Simple Pita Pizzas

I wouldn't really call this a recipe as much as a technique, really.

Pita Pizzas

  • Pitas
  • Tomato, diced
  • Feta Cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh Mozzarella, sliced
  • Marinated artichoke hearts, diced
  • Chopped basil, to taste
  • For amounts, to give you an idea, for 6 pitas, I used one large tomato, half a container of feta, half a ball of mozzarella, and 6 artichoke hearts

  1. Evenly distribute tomato among desired amount of pitas
  2. Top with artichoke hearts, about one per pita
  3. Top with the mozzarella and feta
  4. Broil pizzas until cheese is bubbling, and turning color lightly
  5. Sprinkle top with basil, let cool a moment, and cut into desired amount of pieces for serving

There you go. Pretty simple, yet very tasty.

Incomplete Thought: Oil Companies and Biofuels

Everyone talks about how the oil companies are resisting the whole biofuel thing.

My question is, why don't the oil companies just start *producing* biofuel? It's not that hard, pretty much it's run similar to a distillery (I think, from what I've heard. I know many use old stills and what-not).

(Hahaha, even better if, like, Bacardi did it. Bacardi Fuels. Hahaha. After all, they've got their finger in almost every liquor pie there is, why not fuel?)

Anyway. It's not that hard. Many have set up ethanol fuel things at their homes.

Of course, if the oil companies went into it, they would probably copyright the bajeejus out of it and charge exorbinant prices. Oh well.

From "The Bride Price", NYTimes.com

On the day she witnessed the engagement party of 11-year-old Ghulam Haider to 40-year-old Faiz Mohammed, Sinclair discreetly took the girl aside. "What are you feeling today?" the photographer asked. "Nothing," the bewildered girl answered. "I do not know this man. What am I supposed to feel?"

This, literally, left me speechless. Full Article
