So since we have been home from New York Curtis has been all about building a brick oven pizza. And if you know Curtis, when he gets something into his head it stays. So he started doing research (like he does on every thing he wants...I think all boys do that), then went to his parents house and started building. His hope was to have it all finished by fathers day so we could have some brick oven pizza on Fathers day. So here we are one week before...all bricked up and clay all over. They were pretty impressed with them selves.
Curtis Brick Oven...it still has the sand inside because that is what is holding the clay mold up till it drys then they scoop and vacuum it all out.
We came by a few day later to see the clay cracked all over...Curtis was pretty bummed.
This is the back part where the fire goes in at.
Curtis decided to try in anyway and made the boys a cheese quesadilla it in.
They were excited...and it turned out really good. We loved it!
Saturday...a day before Fathers day we decided to go over and make a pizza just to see how it was going to taste, we were cooking for all curtis's family so it had to be good. Curtis started the charcoal and it got hot and the clay started popping off...
Then it started to cave in on the fire...
Then in blew up/collapsed and here is curtis putting it out. Sad.

Chase was watching from the pool and he was not very happy about it the whole thing breaking.
So what does Curtis do...he tries to build another one out of things he can find at his parents house...He does not give up. Like I said when he has something in his head it does not get out.
Here we are Fathers Day making Brick Oven Pizza and it was so dang good not going to lie. It was not the prettiest thing and was kind of white trash looking but it worked!
Chase waiting for his pizza to be done.
Curtis taking out someone's pizza...he was pretty proud of himself.
GOOD JOB CURTIS IT WAS VERY GOOD!

Fun!
I think this is awesome! Next time you need someone to test your pizzas on, give me a call.
That is so tragic that it caved in. That looks awesome though, and it was a lot bigger than I pictured it to be.
I wish we had taken pictures of us walking in the dust storm the other night.
Brick oven, for the win! I just came up with a conclusion recently that the best pizzerias in town have a common factor: brick oven. Adobe has the ability to retain and distribute heat temperature that quickly cooks the dough without smoldering and drying it out.
