And a pizza sauce idea."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since upgrading to the newest version of WordPress, I&#8217;ve been having some minor issues with it. Lots of troubleshooting led me to try a new theme, and thus I&#8217;m considering changing the look. My first blog post was <a href=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/2007\/03\/04\/weekend-projects\/\" target=\"_self\">March of 2007<\/a>, so as we close in on two years of blogging, perhaps change is good. That being said, Adrienne thinks this new theme is too dark. I like that it has a little more contrast &#8211; less monotone &#8211; than the old theme. So we&#8217;ll keep playing with it. This theme has taken a bit of customization to work the way I want, and it still needs some work. There is another theme I think some of you might enjoy, so I may try that at some point. Keep an eye out.<\/p>\n<p>So here is my pizza sauce idea (I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s not a new one, but the first time I&#8217;ve implemented it): I make my own pizza sauce, and one recipe makes maybe enough sauce for 8 or more smallish artisanal-style pizza, like I make. We&#8217;re usually pretty good about using the sauce in time before it becomes a science experiment. But this time I PAMed an ice cube tray and spooned in pizza sauce. Overnight in the freezer, and now anytime I want to make pizza, just pull a couple cubes of pizza sauce out and defrost. I&#8217;m hopeful the cold doesn&#8217;t do too much to the flavor.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"681\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/2009\/01\/04\/a-new-year-and-a-new-look-and-a-pizza-sauce-idea\/frozen-pizza-sauce-cubes\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/frozen-pizza-sauce-cubes.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"[]\" data-image-title=\"frozen-pizza-sauce-cubes\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/frozen-pizza-sauce-cubes.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/frozen-pizza-sauce-cubes.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-681\" title=\"frozen-pizza-sauce-cubes\" src=\"http:\/\/davidtallacksen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/frozen-pizza-sauce-cubes.jpg\" alt=\"frozen-pizza-sauce-cubes\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since upgrading to the newest version of WordPress, I&#8217;ve been having some minor issues with it.
