Happy Birthday!

It was like Walton's Mountain in there...

they grow out of cow patties here in Kentucky...wood chips & rotting logs. Honest; They grow in cow poop around here...it would take me maybe an hour, if that, to find some...if you live near pastures or ever been around cattle (I have) you may well have come across them and not realized they're of the psychoactive variety. They're even know by the name 'The Cow Patty Mushroom', among others. http://bioweb.uwlax.edu/bio203/2011/bielmeie_luke/Habitat.htm

Hey J3st3r; what's funny is, when I was in the cereal isle getting my PB Crunch, this dude grabbed 2 boxes of this other cereal, hung out for a minute like he was making a decision, then stepped over & grabbed a 3rd box of it. It was: I said: Not 2, you coming back for a 3rd; that must be some good stuff...to which he enthusiastically replied that it was awesome..to which I said the first thing that popped into my head: A Dave Chapelle reference: They sprinkle crack dust on it! He laughed, but afterward, him being a brother, I wonder if he knew the reference or maybe took it as racist. =0

Cool. I meant to say GP is chewier, bread flour is crisper. The one thing that can really elevate the quality of your pizza is a proprietary culture...I paid $20 & have been keeping it in my fridge... I just throw out 3/4 of it once a week & feed the remaining culture with fresh flour and water. King Arthur flour is what I usually use. Since you're so serious & dedicated to excellent pizza, what you need to do is order this OLD culture from Naples; it will transform your pizza. Best of all, you can keep it going forever. =) http://www.sourdo.com/cultures/italian-cultures-includes-two/

Heynow!

...Hax . . . . . . . . . .seriously though, I also like brushing the crust to get it crispier...& tastier....even throw a little on the pizza after it's topped. You using bread or general-purpose flour? GP yields a chewier crust. What temp you baking? I'm at ~700F...crank my oven up as high as it will go & set other dial to broil as it heats it even higher than the 'bake' setting...then throw it in for about 6 or seven minutes. Higher temp = faster bake = equals fluffier crust that doesn't have time to dry out and get tough like at lower temps.

Truth. Let's see your fav.

That's hilarious! Maybe we can manage a barter with your fine eggs. =)

Yes; personally, I would rather bread the cheese with seasoned bread crumbs & make cheese sticks. I have about 8 kinds of cheese on-hand atm: American, Swiss, mozzarella, Havarti, Provolone, Parmesan (like pepper, tastes magnitudes of orders better when bought whole and freshly shredded), cream cheese, Colby...and some 'Fiesta Blend' for burritos. Cheese, garlic, spices, onions, butter; gotta have my staples. =) I could ward-off a vampire just by farting in it's general direction. Well, that went off on a tangent.

It's called economy of scale; why make 1 meal, when I can make 2 or 3 & have leftovers for that day & the next & others. That 14" pizza cost a total of ~$1.90 or so to make: .15 for the dough for 2 pizzas, .25 for the sauce, .50 for the mushrooms, .60 for the cheese, .30 for the pepperoni, .10 for the jalapenos. And those toppings were generous. =) That's with everything, when I cook or bake, I make enough for several meals because 1. it's convenient 2. It's cheaper. When I make homemade chicken noodle soup, it would be silly to buy portions for only 2 or 3 meals when for about the same price I can buy a whole chicken and make 10 generous servings, portioning them out into individual-serving containers and freeze them. Same with the pizzas or anything else really. Pizza dough freezes nicely. Plus I have a vacuum packing machine which gets regular use; for those irregularly-shaped foods. I eat very well for about 20% of what the average person would spend.

Turned out exactly as I like; You can tell the dough was given 2 days to develop in the fridge before being taken out to rise by the large air pockets in the crust and the airy consistency. =)

Heynow!

Happy Birthday!

Yep, again:

Knew it was comin'! =D I still think they're collabing on the dl. Whaddaya think? Promotional or genuine beef?

Personally, first thing I would replace is the mainboard; I've always had great results with Gigabyte...one of my older rigs is 10 years old & the Gigabyte still runs like a champ.

HaHa...he made a post about it.

Next will be a cyber pocket pussy you connect via usb...then comes a tragic/funny accident when the game experiences packet loss, software malfunction or hacking by some sadistic coder. Some poor guy showing up @ the E.R. with a virtual reality peripheral clamped to his wiener.

Happy Birthday!
