I hadn’t played the piano in literally years but I found an electric one dirt cheap and gave it a shot. Its been my most fulfilling hobby and I’m practicing more than I ever did when I took lessons, take this as your sign to try and find a cheap instrument and just get back into it if you lost interest as a kid.

If you played an instrument when younger, I 100% recommend owning it when you’re older.
I took Flute lessons all my school years and stopped after graduating.
Now I’m older, I‘m really grateful for them. Also, appreciate the instrument much more without the pressure to learn and progress.
Musical instruments are incredible hobbies, gorgeous, and it’s never too late to start learning !!

This is the pinnacle of life on earth to me. And I'm not talking about learning your first song on the drums with a Youtube video or taking a guitar lesson. I mean finding an instrument and doing something with it right there. The first time I touched a piano and figured out what keys to hit for a major chord. Getting a note out of a flute after desperately trying for half an hour. Playing a theremin, finding a broken string instrument in a pawn shop and making up a melody. Instruments are our most beautiful tools and you can only ever build love with them

really good way of getting rid of lots of tasty groceries before they go bad :)
Dramatis Personae: Active Dry Yeast, sugar, flour, salt, (optional basil/garlic), olive oil, pizza sauce, shredded cheese of choice (I like mozzarella), warm water, toppings of choice. I like to do chicken, sliced onions/bell peppers, pineapple, ham, spinach, whatever I have on hand
Now, the process:
—> get a large bowl, combine a half cup of sugar, 1 packet or 2 Tbsp of yeast, pinch of salt, and 1 cup of flour and mix it up good. Add the basil and/or garlic here if you Have them
—> Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 2/3 cups lukewarm water, mix it up til it’s batter-y
—> gradually add 1 more cup of flour, pushing it in with your hands so its a consistent consistency
—> if that doesn’t make it doughy, add more flour til it’s doughy and you can make a ball out of it that sort of keeps its shape when you set it down
—> put another Tbsp olive oil in the bowl, covering the sides and the Ball, then cover with a wet towel or Saran wrap, and put it someplace warm to rise for a half hour
—> I usually use this time to preheat the oven to 425 and chop fruits and veggies/dice ham, and clean off a space to roll out the crust
—> once your dough is risen, punch it down a couple times in the bowl to get the air out. It should become a really satisfying elastic texture
—> sprinkle some flour in the flat surface you prepared, and roll out the dough (with a pin if possible, I just use my hands though) until it’s the shape of your pan. Oh yeah line your Baking sheet pan with paper or it’s more likely to burn
—> lay your crust down on the sheet and poke holes with a fork (VERY IMPORTANT if you don’t want the crust to be uber thick!), then use a spoon to cover the crust in a layer of olive oil, then a layer of pizza sauce
—> be liberal with the pizza sauce, make sure to get the edges. If you leave even a little crust at the edges, it’ll rise to huge size!! if you really really want that, put some copious garlic on there so you’re not left with a blank space babe!
—> furnish with cheese and toppings and stick it in the oven for 10-20 minutes, it’ll take longer if you have lots of toppings
—> in particular, I’d you’re putting on fresh veggies and fruit it’ll cooo faster and more evenly if you push em towards the edges. The center can take AGES otherwise and might burn the edges
—> Remove from oven and enjoy! DM me a picture if you make this plsssss
