Psocid Pizza: BOOM!!!

Psocids on wheat grains. Small, no?

 

Last night I made a kickass pizza. Lots of fresh garlic, red onion, Italian sausage, some mozzarella and parmesian cheese, red pepper flakes, Mexican oregano, marinara and a little salt and black pepper. Ok so I cheated a little on the crust. I bought a fresh dough crust from Publix. I got out the flour, coated the counter, my hands and the raised dough and began to form it. I noticed some very small crawley things on the counter and thought “Crap!! Psocids in the flour!!” Closer look: yup, Psocids. (http://searchesworld.blogspot.com/2009_07_26_archive.html). I opened the flour bag and asked Sal to take a look: Yup, she said, Psocids.  I asked her if she minded a few in the pizza and she said not really, after all they are tiny and are everywhere anyway. (Every day I ask myself how could I have been so very lucky.)
Baked at 475, the pizza didn’t take long. What a great mixture of flavors and textures. I wonder which one was “Psocid”?
