A Farsider Creation, The Pepperoni Stromboli, Revised Edition

 Roll out dough like a pizza crust to the size of your sheet pan. Top with Pepperoni slices. 
 Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
 Drizzle on about a half cup of crushed tomatoes.
 Roll Jellyroll style
 Be sure to crimp the ends as you roll. 
 Place on sheet pan seam side down and tuck ends under. 
 Brush with olive oil and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
Lightly score to vent and  Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. 
Allow Stromboli to cool for about 10 minutes before you slice into it. This gives the cheese a chance to set up and not ooze out when you slice into it.

Enjoy, Ironic Chef/ Farsider

Continued Native American Theme

I really enjoyed doing this piece. It's more of a scroll saw project and some artistry with a paintbrush.


I call it "Sadness". I saw an article on this piece on a scroll saw site and gave it my own touch. It has been done using 1/4" Furniture grade plywood and is 9: wide by 11" tall.

Another chief. I didn't paint this one. Instead, It has just been finished with an amber shellac and polyurethane.

 There are also a couple small pieces that I was fooling around with just for fun.

Going Native Update

I'm still working on the finishing touches on this one. This is the direction I took with my Chief.
The headdress I was using with the feathers all at the top wasn't quite the look I was going for. The Mrs'. told me it was more Algonquin. It looked cool but not what the majority would expect after watching a John Wayne movie.
I really liked the Viking that Woodcarver Jim did using the shield as the background. I bought the idea to this piece but think that my next version may be a dream catcher.
So, here it is for your review.
It's carved from reclaimed pine and is approximately 7" X 7".
