Today, we ate pizza for dinner. Not store-bought though. This is a homemade 12-inch Gorgonzola cheese, butternut squash and pancetta (Italian bacon) pizza. Man was it good! We went light on the cheese which made it not any less good, but more waistline-friendly.
We started by roasting the squash in the oven to soften and brown it up. Then we sautéed chopped pancetta until rendered and added a little garlic and onions. When the onions became translucent, we set the pancetta aside.
At the same time, we prepared the pizza dough from a brand-name pizza mix packet. The dough was spread out on a floured pizza paddle and the toppings went on. Then, after about 12 minutes on the pre-heated pizza stone, it looked as you see it here. Click for a larger image.
This is fruit from our dwarf orange tree growing in a planter out back. We have had little green oranges growing since springtime, and now that it’s winter ripening time, they are turning orange. This tree is one of California’s famous winter-ripening variety. Sweet, seedless fruit ripens in ten months. 
No matter though – I’d be pointing my li’l .38 j-frame snubnosed revolver at the perp. My hands would cover up the rosewood grips, and only the business part would show.
