I'm a bachelor tonight, the inchling and SWMBO went on a short road trip so I am making pizza to cheer myself up.

550ºf oven and a good sized pizza stone
Semolina flour for the dough with olive oil, garlic, celtic sea salt(a gift from my dad, I'd never spring for that)
toppings:
part skim mozzarella
oven carmelized whole garlic cloves (a whole head)
capers
carmelized onions
crushed tomatoes sauce
and of course
Anochovies.

Usually we buy a large jar or tin of anchovies, about a pint at a time. We ran out and haven't replaced the jar yet. In the meantime I bought a couple of small tins at the coop. They were about $3.00 each, pricey, but not a usual practice, so Whatever.

They are "packed in sea salt" rather than olive oil, so yeah whatever. I open the tin and see a humongous pile of rock salt and a bit of oily liquid. I dump the rock salt out to reveal the anchovies. I give them a little rinse to get all the extra salt off of them and pull them out of the tin.

There were exactly three filets of anchovy. Or one and a half fish.

'WTF? What the fucking fuck?', I am thinking. These had better taste supreme. A dollar an anchovy.

Ya know what? They tasted exactly like anchovies.

Anyway, the pizza was stellar. I felt to lazy to go get beer so I just drank water. It was supreme water, very moist.

There is leftover pizza for breakfast!

Minnows are bait, Anchovies are the tiny little fish that smell like fingers.
