I accidentally had my scale set to the wrong increment when I measured my flour for the pizza crust. So I had to add more water until I got something usable.

I used it as an excuse to make a bonus pizza with smoked mozzarella, a tiny chunk of pepper jack and a jalapeno.

Base cost of pizza is $2.77 each. Toppings are practically free. Except that bell pepper. I bought it at 68¢ and have used it in three different meals. But today I saw that if I replaced it it was going to cost me $1.27. The price has doubled in two weeks.

Meanwhile red, yellow and orange bell peppers are “just” $1.54. and the three pack of those colors was just $2.40. A rare and infuriating case where green bell peppers are more expensive than the more time intensive riper versions.
