Deep dish pizza night: A slice of Chicago at home

Why order out when you can create a pizza night that’s both budgetfriendly and fabulous?

Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

isn’t just any pizza, it’s an experience. A slice of the Windy City’s food scene that you can enjoy at home without breaking the bank.

Picture a thick, buttery crust rising to golden perfection, cradling layers of gooey cheese, savory meats, fresh veggies and rich tomato sauce. It’s a knife-andfork pizza that turns dinner into an event. And the best part? Making it at home lets you savor this luxurious dish without the hefty price tag. Chicagoans take pride in their Deep Dish Pizza, and now you can, too.

CHICAGO DEEP

DISH PIZZA

Bake this in a 9-inch deep-dish pizza pan or 9-inch springform pan for a jaw-dropping presentation fresh from the oven. But if you don’t have either one, two 9-inch round cake pans will do just fine.

Yield: 1 pizza, 4 servings

Total Time: 1 hour, 25 minutes

For the Thick Tomato Sauce:

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste

1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1 (14 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon sugar, optional

Big pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional Salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a saucepan set on medium-high, heat the olive oil and garlic just until fragrant. Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes and well drained diced tomatoes. Whisk this together and bring to a simmer. Add the Italian seasoning, sugar (this sauce should be sweet, add sugar to taste) and pepper flakes, if using. Let this simmer, uncovered, until it reduces to a thick consistency, about 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning, adding salt and pepper as needed.

For the Pizza:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 pound pizza dough, purchased or your favorite recipe

10 ounces mozzarella cheese, thickly sliced

1-pound sweet Italian sausage, cooked

1 to 2 cups sauteed vegetables such as, peppers, onion, mushrooms

1 1/2 cups thick tomato sauce, above 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Prepare your pizza pan; use either a 9-inch round pan or a 9- inch springform pan. Use the olive oil to coat the bottom and sides of the pan. Stretch dough, either on an oiled baking mat or in your hands. Channel your inner pizza chef and give it a little spin! Shape dough into as big a circle as you can get it. Lay the dough in the pan

and stretch it toward the edges until it starts to shrink back. Cover the dough, and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Now is when you should preheat the oven to 425 F.

Stretch the dough again to cover the bottom of the pan, then gently push it up the sides of the pan about 2 inches.

Bake the crust in the hot oven for 10 minutes, it should barely start to brown. While it’s baking, get your filling ready.

When the crust is partially baked, cover the bottom of the crust with sliced mozzarella, letting it curve up the crust. Add the sausage and/or sauteed vegetables, then generously cover the top with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan, and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake the pizza for about 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Remove it from the oven, place it on a cooling rack and let the pizza cool for about 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Molto delizioso!

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

After much traveling this year, you’re due for some relaxed time with family and friends. Use this period to check out situations that will soon require a lot of serious decision-making.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep that keen Bovine mind focused on your financial situation as it begins to undergo some changes. Consider your money moves carefully. Avoid impulsive investments.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

You’ll need to adjust some of your financial plans now that things are changing more quickly than you expected. All the facts you need haven’t yet emerged, so move cautiously.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Personal and professional relationships dominate this period. Try to keep things uncomplicated in order to avoid misunderstandings that can cause problems down the line.

LEO (July 23 to August 22)

That elusive goal you’d been hoping to claim is still just out of reach. But something else has come along that could prove to be just as desirable, if only you would take the time to check it out.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to get away for some muchneeded rest and relaxation. You’ll return refreshed and ready to take on a workplace challenge that awaits you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Confidence grows as you work your way through some knotty situations. Watch out for distractions from wellmeaning supporters who could slow things down.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Consider spending more time contemplating the possibilities of an offer before opting to accept or reject it. But once you make a decision, act on it.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You’re in a very strong position this week to tie up loose ends in as many areas as possible. Someone close to you has advice you might want to heed.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Congratulations! This is the week you’ve been waiting for. After a period of sudden stops and fitful starts, your plans can now move ahead without significant disruptions.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re in an exceptionally strong position this week to make decisions on many still-unresolved matters, especially those involving close personal relationships.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The week starts off with some positive movement in several areas. A special person becomes a partner in at least one of the major plans you’ll be working on.

BORN THIS WEEK: You work hard and get things done. You also inspire others to do their best. You would do well heading up a major corporation.

Grape Art Fall is traditionally a time for harvest, and grapes are one of the fruits frequently picked in early October. Since they were cultivated during the Neolithic era, grapes have been granted many symbolic meanings, from power and divinity to life and health, hospitality, sacrifice, celebration and indulgence. No matter what they might represent, grapes are something good to eat or a source for a tasty drink, so it’s no wonder they often appear in decorative arts, especially tableware.

This glass pitcher, decorated with gilt and colorful enameled grapevines, was probably made as a decorative piece. It sold for $1,140 at a Morphy auction. It was made about 1895 by Moser, one of the most famous Bohemian glassmakers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the company is still active today in the Czech Republic. Ludwig Moser, who founded the company about 1857, started work as a glass engraver. His company is best known for its enameled glass, and this pitcher is an excellent example. But underneath the enamel, the glass has a coloring called Rubina Verde, shaded red and green.

Q: I have a question on this coffee set, which belonged to my grandmother (born 1884). I am confused because this set has four larger serving pieces (coffee pourer, creamer, sugar and ?). All of these items have the Ceramic Art mark (per your guide, says Belleek, 1906-1924). The set also has six cups and saucers, which are marked “J.P.L France” (Again, per your guide, 1842-1898). The pattern of all, however, appears to be identical to me, and I haven’t been able to find it anywhere.

BY

A: That is an interesting question; you don’t often see a complete set of dishes with marks from different makers. The J.P.L. mark was used in Limoges, France, from the late 1800s to about 1932. It is unlikely that Ceramic Art and Limoges made the same pattern, but they did have something in common: They both made blanks to be decorated at other

factories or by hobbyists at home. This may be the case for your coffee set. Professional decorators would sign the pieces they painted, usually with their initials. If yours aren’t signed, they may have been decorated by an amateur, making your set truly one of a kind.

TIP: If you have valuable old glass, you should

keep it in a safe environment. It should be stored or displayed where there is some air movement to dry off the surface. Glass bottles and containers should be stored with the lids and stoppers open.

HOLLYWOOD -- Austin Butler couldn’t carry “The Bikeriders” (which grossed $35.8 million against a $40-million cost), but he was saved by “Dune: Part Two” (which he didn’t have to carry and grossed $711.8 million). Now he’s leading director Darren Aronofsky’s crime thriller “Caught Stealing.” Butler plays a former baseball player plunged into a fight for survival in the 1990s criminal underworld of New York. He’ll star opposite Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber and Latin pop singer Bad Bunny. ***

C. Thomas Howell, 57, was just a teenager when he made “E.T. the ExtraTerrestrial,” “The Outsiders” and “Red Dawn.” Now he’s set to star opposite Ryan Phillippe in “One Mile” and its sequel “One More Mile,” which are being shot together. Howell has made over 75 films, including “Reagan,” which opened in theaters on Aug. 30. Phillippe made daytime history as Billy Douglas, one of the first openly gay characters in soaps, on “One Life to Live.” Sadly, his actionthriller film “Prey,” with Mena Suvari and Emile Hirsch, only grossed $5,336. Hopefully, Phillippe’s comedy/horror/ thriller “Saint Claire,” with Rebecca De Mornay, will do better. He’s the father of two children with Reese Witherspoon. *** I don’t know if Capt.

James T. Kirk spoke Italian, but Chris Pine can and will in “The Kidnapping of Arabella,” which co-stars Italian actress Benedetta Porcaroli (of Netflix’s “Baby”). Pine already spoke Spanish, but learned Italian for the role. His last film “Poolman,” which he produced, wrote, directed and starred in, was a disaster and only grossed $153,325.

***

“Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story” hits select theaters on Sept. 21. I met Christopher when he starred on the New York soap “Love of Life” while also playing Katharine Hepburn’s grandson in Broadway’s “A Matter of Gravity.” I landed the only interview and photo shoot he gave that year. We became friends, and I offered him my spare room if he ever came to Hollywood.

Six months later, Christopher called to use my spare room and became my house guest for two days. He was planning on doing off-off-Broadway, but I suggested that he do commercials while waiting for Broadway to call. We shot his headshots as the sun went down. Two of these photos prompted the “Superman” producers to fly him to London and screen-test him for the role of “the Man of Steel,” which led to four “Superman” films.

When Christopher spotted me at the “Superman” premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theater, he insisted that I sit with

him and his lady to watch the film with them. He also phoned when “Fifth of July” opened on Broadway (in 1978) to thank me for insisting that he wait for a Broadway play instead of doing off-off-Broadway as he’d planned.

My favorite memory of him is that this 6-feet-4inch, drop-dead-gorgeous lady killer had bunk beds in his NYC apartment, obviously a forerunner to his two future identities -- Clark Kent and Superman! © 2024 King Features Synd., Inc.

Fortuitous series of events reunites hand-crafted doll with its maker

The Bemidji Pioneer

BEMIDJI – If only dolls could talk.

A hand-crafted clay doll created as a gift 24 years ago has found its way back to its maker through a fortuitous series of events. It now rests on the dresser of the 24-year-old girl whose mother made it.

The circuitous story involves a doll maker from Pennington, a quilter, a mystery person, and the owner of an antique mall in Bemidji.

An early start Delight Sporre remembers falling in love with dolls as a child. She collected them and even started making her own out of anything she could find, like sticks and acorns. After getting an antique doll from her grandmother, Delight took even more of an interest.

“I started really researching antique dolls,” she said. “Then my mom and I started going to antique doll shows together and collecting them. I got to meet other doll artists. I learned what kind of clay to use and how it was done. Then I knew at the young age of 14 that’s what I wanted to do.”

By the time she was 16, Delight was sculpting clay dolls and making porcelain reproduction dolls on the side.

“So I had a doll business before I graduated from high school,” she said. That business continued after graduation when Delight married Mike Sporre. Her creations were featured in national magazines. The couple took annual trips to the East Coast to attend a large doll show and to meet with doll store owners.

“That’s where the market was for these dolls,” Delight said. “Doll shops were really popular then.”

The shops would place orders, and Delight would fill those orders by staying up until the early morning hours making dolls. It was a busy time for the Sporres, who welcomed the first of their 10 children while living in their home area near the Twin Cities.

They moved to Pennington in 1991 and bought a house next door to Kitchi Pines Mennonite Church. Delight continued making dolls until the economy slowed in 1999 and 2000.

“That really affected things like (the doll market),” she said, “because

they were not essential things.”

But fellow church members certainly noticed Delight’s talent, and one of them asked if she would make a doll in exchange for a handmade quilt.

“This was 24 years ago, after my second daughter Esther was born,” Delight said. When she finished the doll, the quilter who received it noticed a resemblance between the doll and little Esther.

“She looks so much like your little girl,” the woman told Delight. “When I die this should go back to her.”

The woman died some years later, but Delight never heard anything about the doll, and didn’t even know how to contact the family.

“It was just lost,” she said.

But now it was found

Jan Burger loves to go to auction sales. About 20 years ago she went to a sale in the Clearbrook area and noticed several dolls that were up for auction.

“But this doll spoke to me,” Burger said. “We really don’t know how it got to that sale and that person. So I bought it, and she has sat on a dresser in my guest room ever since.”

the First City Antique Mall, which opened last year at 120 Minnesota Ave. NW in Bemidji. Mike and Delight Sporre opened a booth in the mall a few months ago, and when Burger saw some of the dolls that Delight brought in to sell, she stopped in her tracks.

“I looked at her little pixie dolls and I said to (my husband) Bud, ‘I think I have one of her dolls,’” Burger shared. “I brought my doll in, and I moved some things in her cabinet and I set the doll there with the little ones.

Then I showed it to Bud, because he’s an artist, and asked what he thought. He said, ‘It’s the same artist.’”

Shortly after that, when Delight and some of her children came to the antique mall, they were in for a surprise.

“Oh my goodness. Yes, that’s my doll,” Delight said.

Her daughter Esther was with Delight that day.

Although she had only seen the doll that looked like her when she was an infant, Esther was told about it and occasionally asked her mother where she thought the doll might be.

Jan Burger was so touched by the story that she decided to give the doll to Esther.

“These things are gifts of the heart,” Burger said. “It’s all about how life comes in this circle, and you never know when you will find someone again. For me, this was just so beautiful, and I thought this doll had to go back to the little girl who was supposed to have it.”

“Esther could hardly believe it,” Delight said. “But even more amazing is that Jan ended up with it and so generously

wanted to give the doll to her. She was so happy that now she would actually be able to keep it and one day pass it on to her children. She has it lovingly displayed on her dresser now and it will remain an heirloom in the family.”

Q: Who plays Eddie on “9-1-1,” and when will there be new episodes of the show again? -- K.L.

A: Ryan Guzman is a former MMA fighter -now actor -- who plays firefighter Eddie Diaz on the hit ABC series “9-11.” Showrunner Tim Minnear told TVLine that Eddie will be back in the upcoming season sporting a mustache and dealing with some emotional trauma leftover from last season.

Guzman’s first professional acting role was starring in the 2012 dance film “Step Up Revolution.” He followed that with a recurring role on the teen drama series “Pretty Little Liars” and later another show, “Notorious,” opposite Piper Perabo and Daniel Sunjata. He’ll be back when “9-1-1” returns to ABC for its eighth season on Thursday, Sept. 26, at 8 p.m. ET. ***

Q: What is Sarah Michelle Gellar doing lately? I haven’t seen her in anything new in quite a while. -- N.F.

A: Sarah Michelle Gellar started out as a child actress, doing Burger King commercials as a young tyke. Daytime soap fans will remember her as conniving teenager Kendall on “All My Children,” before landing the role of a lifetime as Buffy on the iconic series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” She also had a successful film career with movies like “Cruel Intentions” and “The Grudge.” She returned to television in 2012 with a new series, called “Ringer,” but it was canceled after just one season. She has worked steadily over the past decade and has one of the few successful long marriages in Hollywood, with her husband, actor Freddie Prinze Jr. Her next project, “Dexter: Original Sin,”

is her most promising one in years. It’s about future avenging serial killer Dexter Morgan’s origin story. Michael C. Hall will narrate the series, while Patrick Gibson (“Shadow and Bone”) plays a young Dexter. Christian Slater (“Dr. Death”) portrays his father, Harry, and Molly Brown (“Evil”) plays his sister, Debra. Gellar will play a CSI chief, and another early 2000s superstar, Patrick Dempsey (“Grey’s Anatomy”), will play the head of homicide in Miami. Expect “Dexter: Original Sin” to premiere on Showtime this coming December.

***

Q: Is it true that “Blue Bloods” was canceled? Are there not going to be anymore new episodes? -- S.S.

A: Yes, “Blue Bloods” is ending its run, but not until December. The show returns for an abbreviated 14th season on CBS, beginning Friday, Oct. 18, at 10 p.m. ET. Tom Selleck will be back as the head of the tight-knit Reagan family. What viewers love about the family, in addition to enforcing the law, are their weekly dinners at home at the big table. According to TV Insider, this was inspired by Norman Rockwell’s 1943 Thanksgiving magazine illustration “Freedom from Want.” Look for your favorites to return for the show’s final eight episodes. In addition to Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Marisa Ramirez, Vanessa Ray and Len Cariou will all be back to wrap up the season.
