Thanks to Tiata!!! This is REALLY good!!
This makes enough dough for one 12 inch pizza.
.25 oz. active dry yeast (1.5 tsp)
1/4 tsp granulated sugar
3/4 cup 110 degree water (luke warm)
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour (I had to add more!!)
1/2 tsp salt
Disolve yeast and sugar in water and allow to stand for 8 munites
In a seperate bowl combine flour and salt
Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture and mix well with heavy spoon
Turn dough onto floured surface and knead for 2 minutes
Working from the edges to the center press dough into 12 inch circle (I use a rolling pin)
Place on lightly greased pizza pan and strech edges to edge of pan
Spread dough with sauce, cheese and toppings.
Bake at 500 degree oven for 8-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

ChanceLee Chicken
Better known as Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken, we affectionately renamed it for a small guest in our home. While everyone else was begging for dessert, little ChanceLee, baby cheeks glowing, begged her mama to get the chicken back out of the fridge so she could have more. Who could resist a request like that?
Making this tonight for a family that's been sick.
Chicken pieces-enough to feed your family-legs, thighs etc.
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup vinegar
1/4 cup lemon-lime soda
2-3 Tbls. minced garlic
2 Tbls. soy sauce
1 tsp. pepper (regular black or cayenne)
Place chicken in crockpot. Mix all remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve over rice or noodles. You can thicken the juices after cooking with a little cornstarch. If using cayenne pepper, it gives dish a szchewan flavor.
ONE NOTE: This is great done in the oven, but if you use the crock pot, you MUST give it the full amount of time, because it takes a LONG time, and no one wants undercooked chicken!

Carmelized Rhubarb Sauce
3 cups chopped rhubarb
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
boil for about 5 min.
About 2 minutes through, walk away and forget about it. When the smoke detector goes off, run to the stove, and remove from heat. It will be a nice brown/black color, and there will be just the faintest hint of rhubarb smell left.
Cool, realize the fruit is scorched and throw it away. Then realize the pan is ruined with carmelized sugar. Throw it away also.
Serve the ice cream w/o fruit sauce.
It happens to the best of us.
