It is my Nieces 8th bday party tomorrow and it is 1130pm here.

I kindly volunteered to make a heap of things for it, one of them being mini pizzas.

I was going to use English muffins but they are a bit dear here for how many you get.

I was thinking of making the base with a pastry. I just want to know if anyone knows if this will work?

Will the pastry once cooked be "strong" enough to be a hand held food.

If so what sort of pastry? I have only cooked with puff pastry before and I know that wont work.

Any ideas etc will really be appreciated pleaseeeee....

Any other ideas will be appreciated too.

Thanks guys

What about on a piece of bread and cut it in four after you get small piece of pizza.

I have a jar of vegemite on my shelves, as a 'novelty' LOL.

Vegemite tastes like fresh cow dung to me...blleccch

Well, um, I just have to ask. When did you last partake of fresh cow dung, lol.

Am I the only American who likes vegemite? And marmite. One of my mother's best friends was Australian. She used to make "fairy bread" for my birthday. Eekghad.

Well, um, I just have to ask. When did you last partake of fresh cow dung, lol.

i grew up around farm animals, the stuff can splatter all over the place in the worst directions.

Ah ....... Gulp.

Vegemite is yummy...

I think the cake thing with fruit you are talking about is pavalova.

As for coke that is grose no matter where it comes from.

I love to make pizzas using large Portabella mushrooms. Just put some olive oil on the pan and then make your pizza using the mushroom cap turned upside down as the "pizza crust". Then just pile on your ingredients: sauce, cheese, veggies, turkey pepperoni, etc. It really is very, very good!

Gawd, does EVERYTHING come in a can there? pizza dough? Lol.

We're not quite that advanced here, sorry guys. And biscuits are Cookies, we dont have the other kind of biscuits either.

Kel, pizza dough is so easy, just make proper pizza dough. I only do it in the breadmaker, so the recipe wouldnt be right, but google one, its pretty much like a scone dough with yeast, which is not at all scary and very easy. Or buy a few frozen pizza bases (but I dont like them, they're too thick for me) and use a cookie cutter to cut smaller bases from them.

But you have those way cool cookies that you bite the corners off of and suck coffee/tea into. I think they are called tim tams. My boss is from Perth and she gave me some for Christmas last year.

For the mini pizzas I would go to costco and get a huge box of BagelBites. Kid love them. But I'm not much of a cook either.

Yes! Pavlova!

And coke in the US was my biggest addiction. MMMMM.

If we had it in the house, I wouldn't be able to restrain myself.

7 months sober rofl.

Gawd, does EVERYTHING come in a can there? pizza dough? Lol.

Apparently, but some of us are actually gastronomic snobs who make everything from scratch. Don't believe everything you hear about Americans

It's SO easy to make pizza dough, tons cheaper, and it won't have any of the preservatives and added trans fats and junk that come in the can. Go to epicurious.com, search for pizza dough, and you will find a gazillion good recipes to make your own.

Those are Tim Tams. And what you are describing is called a Tim Tam Orgasm, lol. LOL.

For the benefit of the uninitiated, a Tim Tam is just a rectangular chocolate biscuit with a softish centre (does anyone actually KNOW what it is) and you bite of diagonally opposite corners. Insert one corner into your coffee, suck and then cram the entire biscuit into your mouth as it dissolves.

Mmmmm.

And oh yes, a pavlova. I was racking my brain trying to think of a "cake" with cocktail fruit. Pav is meringue and cream with fruit.

I dont like tim tams at all, never have.

Now the mint slice, that is another story.

I am not fond of pavlova either, I dont go much on meringue.

I ended up making the pizzas on short cut pastry, I didnt end up with time to muck around.

They turned out ok, but I am going to give them a go next weekend with the dough made from scratch.

Totally off topic tho, I have really been craving a works hamburger. I cant believe after 18 mths I start craving for one....

Just dropped in to say..Kellie, you are looking HOT!

Don't you have an anniversary soon?

Hugs

PS

I've been wanting a juicy BLT on toast, with mayo just dripping.
