The weather has been consistently horrible the past week. All rain. No fun. So when the sun came out for a few hours, I grabbed a camera and headed over to the park for some fresh air.
I've fallen in love with walks in the park ever since Chloe's grandmother took me to Edward's Garden across from where they live. Some fresh air coupled with fascinating narrations about the history of different flowers did wonders for me. Chloe's grandma is a pro gardener who grows rows and rows of flowers and vegetables in her backyard, and her tomatoes are absolutely fabulous. For me, if I can keep my herb garden alive, that will be an achievement.
But I wore out pretty quickly this time since I hadn't slept well the night before, so I finished the day off by baking a pizza!
Started off by baking the dough base before I added the toppings. I cheated and bought the pre-made Pillsbury pizza dough because I'm not patient and I ran out of flour.
Topped with fresh mozzarella, homemade tomato sauce and oregano before putting it in the oven.

Finished with shredded prosciutto which I've been addicted to ever since I went to Italy. Love parma ham. Sprinkle of arugula with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and it's done! Easiest meal ever.
I really hope the weather warms up a bit soon, or at least the sun will come out for a peek. It's almost June! How time flies.
