The Song of the Day! And a Pizza Recipe!

This song is to the tune of "Loch Lohman" and it's about the ingredients I received (and those donated by a friend) yesterday at the Food Bank.  My friend is out raking leaves while I'm inside making the pizza from our combined ingredients. 

Song: You bring the tomato paste

You bring the tomato paste and I'll bring the pizza crust
And, we'll make a pizza together.

Chorus:
Together we'll share our food bank bounty, and we will make a pizza together!

You bring the soy cheese and I'll bring the pineapples
And we'll make a pizza together.

(Chorus)

You bring the Gimme Lean and I'll bring the olives
And we'll make a pizza together.

(Chorus)

You bring the cherry juice and I'll bring the bell peppers
And we'll make a pizza together.

(Chorus)

Pizza Recipe: (fairly freely adapted from the 1960 Betty Crocker Cookbook)
2 Pizza crusts received from Food Bank
1 1lb can tomatoes, drained (reserving at least 1/2 cup liquid) and then diced
1 6oz can of tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbs crushed oregano
1 Tbs basil
1/4 cup soy cheese, grated (actually, it doesn't grate very well, so I cut it into small squares)
Gimme Lean non-meat sausage (cooked)
Fresh pineapple (cut into small squares)
1 small can sliced olives
1 can artichoke hearts
1 Bell pepper (whatever color they are giving out at the Food Bank) sliced very thin


Place pizza crust on cookie sheet or pizza pan.
Heat a frying pan and, when hot, add a little olive oil.
Break Gimme Lean into little pieces and brown in a frying pan.  If necessary, add a bit more oil to make it not stick.
Drain tomatoes, reserving 1/2 cup juice. 
Dice tomatoes and place on crusts; sprinkle with with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover with the cheese and drizzle with olive oil (only 1 TBS per crust). 
Sprinkle with non-meat sausage, pineapple, olives, bell peppers.
Combine tomato paste, reserved tomato juice, garlic, and herbs. 
Spread over sausage, tomato, pineapple, olive mixture.
Drizzle with olive oil (only 1 TBS per crust).
Scatter more soy cheese on top.

Bake in very hot oven (450) for 20 minutes or until crust is done and veggies are soft.
