Something Old, Something New

After being sanded, I wiped it down with a wet cloth and let it dry in the sun before staining. The framing took two coats. The inset part took a little longer because after it was stripped I discovered that it was particle board and not actually wood. I did several layers, which took awhile to dry, but I am super pleased with the way it turned out!
It's Grilling Time!
Grilled Apple & Pork Pizza:
1 12" pizza crust (we used Boboli, maybe later we will try homemade)
olive oil
1/2 lb boneless pork loin chops
1/4 Granny Smith apple
1/2 c BBQ sauce
1 c goat cheese
fresh parsley
Preheat grill to medium heat for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, season pork and either cook on grill on in a skillet and slice thin. Slice apple and place on grill for about 2 minutes, until tender.
Spread BBQ sauce over crust, then add pork, apples, cheese and parsley. Place pizza on grill four about 8 to 10 minutes.
(This one had a little accident, I won't mention any names, but it was a lot prettier when it went on the grill, still tasted great!)

Reduce grill heat to low. Brush grill rack with olive oil. Using the indirect grilling method, slide pizza crusts on grill and cook until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned. Turn pizza crusts over. Top browned side of pizza crusts with shrimp mixture with liquid to preference. Sprinkle with green onions, carrot sticks and cilantro and cheese. Cover with grill lid and heat pizzas about 5 minutes or until crust is golden on bottom.
