I have put an end to years of lurking and decided to take on the weekly challenges posed by r/52weeksofcooking subreddit, through which I am committing to the 2016 MetaTheme challenge by unofficially signing up for pizza & wine pairings. Not only will I attempt to skillfully smush each week’s cooking theme into something that resembles pizza, I will also pair the mutant dish with some form of wine. The outcome may not be pretty and the upvotes may be few, but it seems worth the creative struggle and mess in the kitchen to hone any and all pizza-related skills.
