[ID: A photograph of my kitchen counter, showing a 1.5 pound box of mushrooms and a 4.5 pound box of tomato paste, each topped with a 2.5 pound bag of shredded mozzarella. It's a lot of food.]

I'm fortunate to live within walking distance of multiple grocery stores, but, well, I don't drive. So, every three months I put in a delivery order to stock up on goods I use a lot of.

Behold: Three months of pizzas, in an 11 pound heap. Minus a few things, mainly the crust ingredients, which I already had.

The mushrooms will be sauteed and then frozen in small containers, with the leftover oil and liquid going into a vegetable broth to add to the tomato paste, which will also be simmered with seasoning and tomato pesto before going into half pints for freezing. The cheese is broken into half-pound packages and frozen as well. To make two pizzas, you grab one package of each, mushrooms-sauce-cheese, and thaw while your pizza crust ferments overnight.

I don't eat all the pizzas I make; I sometimes gift them to friends (hence no meat) or bring them to parties. Some of this will go to other things too, like quesadillas. It just amused me to present it as a pile of pizzas. I'll cook the mushrooms tonight; I still have sauce in the freezer so I won't make more until I'm close to out.

(I also bought six pounds of ground beef, a rotisserie chicken, and a 36-count of babybel cheese. My ancestors are so proud of the luxury on which I dine!)
