As you know we make pizza about once a week. Last night I tried a vegan version that was totally inspired by Gary. It was pretty good. The Rice Shreds were much better than any soy cheese I've ever tried and the Tofurky Italian 'sausage' was surprising good.Here's the finished pie with some fresh oregano and basil from the garden.

This is the best pizza sauce I've ever had. It's from the book American Pie by Peter Reinhardt.Crushed Tomato Sauce
