Well I still have a shitload of
garlic spears and since I don't have the requisite ingredients to make a creamy garlic soup, I think I will make a pesto out of it and use it as the base of a pizza. Luckily I do have feta cheese in the fridge so that will make a nice topping and pair well with the garlic. Too bad you don't have any of the above ingredients, loser. Let's begin:
Start by making your pesto. Chop up your
garlic spears into chunks and process the shit out of them. Scrape the sides of your processor with a rubber spatula. Add 3/4c
Parmesan cheese and combine. Finally, add 1/2 to 3/4c olive oil and mix it up. If you do not have a food processor you are fucked. Don't even think about doing this by hand. This pesto is real spicy when fresh but when you cook it (as we are about to do), it becomes much milder. I would highly suggest making this pesto and tossing it with some cooked pasta for a nice peppery dish.
Make a
pizza crust and put it on a pizza stone. Spread out your awesome pesto and smother the pizza with feta cheese. Remember feta does not melt,
dumbass, so make sure you cover every inch.
Cook in a 450 deg oven for 15 minutes. There you have it. Another awesome lunch that you wish you had. You are probably eating a hot pocket or some other shit that necessitates a microwave. Eat it.

hmmm garlic spears instead of basil...interesting. It's not too spicy? Is it technically even pest if it isn't with basil?
shit. *pesto
Fresh it is real spicy but it works out nicely. When cooked on the pizza it ends up being really mild. Technically pesto? Probably not but like I give a fuck.
Oh I have also made a real nice "pesto" out of spinach.
Hahaha, ok just curious. I make vegan pesto all the time with basil and have been looking for ways to mix it up a bit. I'm not sure if I'll try the garlic, but I like the idea of the spinach one.
I have a recipe for the spinach one too...I forgot to put the link up...it is the same for the pizza crust:

sweet ass! thanks doll.
my pleasure
Isn't pesto vegan anyway... without the distinction? Or does it have to be certified these days like kosher? I'm so behind... speaking of behind... where's my coffee... god it's bright outside without coffee!
Nada. The "usual" version of pesto has parmesan cheese. I have to substitute vegan parm when I make it.
I'd sell my first born for coffee right now.
Aaah... I forgot about the cheese rule. I'd make a very bad vegan!
Is coffee off the list too?? You poor soul! I think the gods of vegan should make an exception... ;-)
Oh god no, I drink my coffee strong, black and rich. Like my men. I'm so unoriginal, I just punched myself in the face.
I'm just too hungover to A) make it or B) go buy any.
Cry me a river. I went to sleep drunk at 1:30am and woke up at 5:30 to go play golf. But at least I had coffee.
Ha! That second comment from anonymous was freakin' hilarious! You could just feel the terror of the impending righteous smackdown from ALN about the "pesto" typo. And also the powerlessness to prevent it.
Obviously they have read enough of "Cooking with Asshole" to know they were in for it.
I am shocked at your benevolence today, ALN.
I was the anonymous chick. I do not fear ALN :-) But typos do make my eyes bleed, especially my own.
And I finally got me some coffee and for free because the barista likes my cleavage so fuck off.
fuck ya, train wreck!! let's hear it for titties! back in the day my cleavage used to get me all kinds of stuff... I know... tmi for a cooking blog. oops...
congrats on the free coffee. as my pops says "if ya got it flaunt it"
I may love my boobs too much. We're checking into it.
Wow. Is it hot in here or is it just me?
It's both.
A pizza without meat? Not sure I can handle that. I'm a meat-loving woman, you know?
It just got a lot hotter in here!
Miss Suzie, I'm a vegan...but I still like meat :-) Just not eating it...
I don't know what you're cooking in here ALN... but I think I dig it. Has a magical quality... sure there aren't any mushroom varietals in that pizza? Trainwreck is getting a bit saucy!
What you decide to put on your pizza is no business of mine :-)
...but feel free to have some LSD:
