Pizza on the Barbie!

After a late afternoon nine mile bike ride, we returned to the boat to try a first in our culinary endeavors aboard SUNSHINE. For the last two years, we have forsaken the gas Barbeque an have been experimenting with the charcoal fired Cobb grill. The wind, which plays havoc with the gas grill actually helps the charcoal light quicker. Generally speaking, the grill is ready for use in less than ten minutes from initial ignition.

Pizza from the BBQ

While at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago, we purchased the ingredients necessary for making a homemade pizza. Well, not exactly, homemade. The crust is an 8" Boblli, the sauce is the Publix brand, and we used 2% cheese. We had to use up the sausage that we opened a couple of nights ago when we made Mama Corleoni's sausage and peppers. But I digress...

We grilled the pizza for about 15 minutes. The crust was crisp, the sauce and cheese was very tasty and the Italian sausage set it off nicely. All in all, it was a great meal and a very successful first effort from our charcoal Fired pizza grill!
