The mozarella cheese you have wasn't very good. You can buy better cheese from METRO (I don't know if there are METRO shopping malls in Qinghai) or you can order them from Alibaba.

Miriam, please tell your mother-in-law that her respect and care for who you are, is crystal clear to viewers. When you asked which was better, the meat or vegetarian pizza, she said "equally good". Irrespective of whether that is kindness or her actual opinion, I appreciate how she builds you up and in doing so, is a wonderful role-model for other mothers-in-law. Some in the West may think that it is preferrable to be honest, irregardless of context as otherwise is duplicitous, but respect for others as a priority over personal opinion (which is considered private) is a hallmark of Chinese (and more broadly Asian) communication that I can understand and appreciate.

There are many kind hearted mother-in-laws in Chinese family and Miriam 's mother-in-law is one of them. They have all the virtues and characteristics of Confucious' s phylosophy. It is warm hearted to see such a caring and happy family living together under one roof, which is now slowly affected by today's changing society that placed more values on self and individuality. Being kind hearted, considerate and always enjoy sharing is the key to a loving family. Miriam's family has it all. We all can feel it just by watching her videos. Her videos bring tranquility to our hectic life.

[@suzannes5888]

The cheese on this pizza looked more like actual mozarella than the cheese in the first video, which looked a little harder/less creamy than mozarella. That could've attributed to the better flavor everyone seemed to like, even though you didn't use a yeast-based crust. Making mozarella at home is very easy as long as you have the (3) dry ingredients and a food thermometer on hand at home, then you just need milk. Gavin Weber has a good quick mozarella recipe on his KZbin channel. Looks like you all had a great time! 😊

[@MiriamFollin]

Thanks Suzanne! I will look into making it on my own, I didn't know anything about this!

[@suzannes5888]

@@MiriamFollin Here's a quick recipe for mozarella: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aofFpnWZg6iad8U I keep the three special ingredients on hand for this (and for a couple of other soft cheeses I like - they can all be stored in a cupboard/pantry). In most cases , even in the U.S, where these cheeses arevreadily found, it's easier to make the soft kind of cheeses than going to the store. The soft cheeses are the easiest type of cheese to make and don't need aged. I often make ricotta, creme fraiche and goat cheese (aka chevre) - especially when I can get get fresh grass-fed cow or goat milk from a local Virginia farm. It's also a great inexpensive solution when your somewhere in the world that doesn't use a lot (or any) cheese - or you just want to know what's in your food. I once made mozarella on the fly in the mountains of Afghanistan and then made everyone awesome outdoor pizzas. With your own mozarella and ricotta you could make Yonghang some of that baked lasagna his face lit up about when talking about your Mom's lasagna, lol Also, in case it may be of interest to you, as a Plan B for an oven that you could pop-up at home in your backyard, would be a solar oven you could pop-up in your yard out of cardboard or wood and line it with tinfoil (or mirrors) to bake just like an electric oven....solar ovens will bake anything...lasagna, breads, cakes, pastry, or seafood, whatever. (YT has a lot of videos on how to make & use a solarboven ) You can even bake outside in the winter, as long as the sun is out. The overall cooking time is about 25% more than an indoor electric/gas oven. Have fun with all of your Christmas preparations! 🎄💂‍♀️🎅🤶☃️❄

We make pizza at home sometimes. I like it better because the pizza tastes fresher, and feels healthier. I sometimes feel sick after eating some kinds of takeout pizza because I have a sensitive stomach, but I never feel that way when we eat the pizza we make ourselves at home. There are so many styles of pizza available for takeout in our area now. Recently, I've seen more places that offer Neapolitan-style pizza, which I like better than the more common New York-style pizza. I believe those are cooked at a higher temperature, so they are not feasible to make at home. Pizza is a simple food, but it's so very versatile because you can put anything you want on them. I actually want to try stewed pork on pizza because of your video; it sounds quite delicious. 😊
