Celebrating Pride Month! - June 2009
=========================
From June 2009
=========================

This is from the June 2009 calendar Celebrating Pride Month. The first image provides the top portion of the calendar that provides a brief history of Pride Month. Decided to share a snap of what the complete calendar looked like the rest of the images. I believe this may give you a better insight into what the Diversity Calendars we created during this time looked like.

June is Gay & Lesbian PRIDE Month.

Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community worldwide events are held in June to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion in New York City on June 28, 1969, which most historians consider to be the birth of the modern GLBT civil rights movement. At the time, police raids on bars catering to GLBT patrons were common, but that night, the patrons of the Stonewall Inn fought back. While historical accounts of the night vary, the violent response ignited a national firestorm of activism that brought new visibility to the struggle for GLBT equality.

Homemade Pizza: It's in the Dough! - 16 May 2009

 

Homemade Pizza: It's in the Dough! - 16 May 2009
=========================
From May 16, 2009
=========================

These are photos of when I made homemade pizza with my go to pizza crust recipe. I'd originally blogged about this with a bit more story on September 06, 2009 via my No Tan Diario Chronicles ~ Pre-2025 Blog. If you want to read that you can go to my It's in the dough blog post. 

It's in the dough https://elkirbster.blogspot.com/2009/09/its-in-dough.html

Although the recipe is geared to use a stand mixer, you can certainly mix by hand.

Crusty Pizza Dough

1 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water(105°F to 115°F)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 1/2-3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal

Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl. Add salt, olive oil, and 2 1/2 cups flour. Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 1 minute.

Continuing on Speed 2, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix about 1 1/2 minutes, or until dough starts to clean sides of bowl. Knead on Speed 2 about 2 minutes longer.

Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top.
Cover. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down.

Brush 14-inch pizza pan with oil. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Press dough across bottom of pan, forming a collar around edge to hold toppings.

Add toppings, as desired. Bake at 450°F for 15 to 20 minutes.
Yield: 4 servings (1/4 pizza per serving).
