Hello hello from 2024, my first post this year, here's some pizza I made for our newest tradition where G and I are planning to stay in on Fridays or Saturdays to do pizza and a movie. We have a shared Note app where we keep track of what we want to watch, or recommendations from others as we get them. I stole this idea from Austin Kleon, which seemed like a great way to chill at home in the winter even if we don't have kids. This week we watched The Holdovers, which I enjoyed more than I thought I would.

| The Holdovers (2023) |
It had a Dead Poet's Society or Good Will Hunting vibe to it, maybe because it takes place in the 70's, no phones, social media, etc. Crazy how technology has changed the way we live our lives completely. Anyway, it feels like one of those movies they just don't make anymore because...well, Hollywood. We recommend it if you like character studies and a more refined approach to action.
Our pizza was simple this time, I'm still learning how to bake it in the oven in our cast iron pans. Maybe it's time for a stone? We bought ready made dough from the store but I want to try using G's sourdough starter next week. On it, I put mozz, pepperoni, olives, yellow bell pepper, and mushrooms. On the side, a big wet watercress and spinach salad with an avocado-cilantro dressing I cobbled together.
I don't really make resolutions for New Year anymore, I just try to do my best by remaining present in my daily life and then I'll know what change needs to happen when it does. Supposedly. Anyway, this is the closest I'll get to sticking to something for the year. At least, I hope we stick to it. Shouldn't be too hard, we love movies and pizza after all.
