You may remember my post on Kim's Peach-zza (p. 232), which looked like this:

I had some pears that were about to go off sitting in the fruitbowl, so tonight I decided to make Chocolate Pear-zza (p.233), which was inspired by Kim's Peachzza.

I have to say, the more I make the All-Purpose Crust (p. 262), the more I like it. I didn't chill the dough for an hour, as required, and this time I used a pie dish instead of a cookie sheet and made a "deep dish" dessert pizza, but the crust still turned out just great, and held together really well. My dad the pie-nazi would be proud.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go read the new Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot, while eating Chocolate Pear-zza. In the bath. One of the perks of living by myself.
