PIZZA Question. Are you one of those weirdos?

[The True Adonis]

I thought the review by user "Athanasius" on Amazon was interesting.  Part of his review reads:

Since you've mentioned McGee's book before on this forum, I assume you've read it.  I'd be wary of a purchase if I were you, although the pictures certainly are beautiful!

McGee has no equal.

I ate half of a Large just now and Jezbelle ate the other Half.  Ours comes from a local Pizza shop that has the best I have ever eaten.  The owner has a beautiful German Shepherd that he walks by my house every now and then.  I asked him today how the dog was doing and he said all he wants to do is attack strangers.  

Damn, I almost forgot -- As always, give my regards to the lovely Jeezebelle. Not that I ever had a snow ball's chance in hell but since she has officially taken herself off the market there is a bit of a void and sense of lost hope in my life. Nothing serious and I don't want her to worry or feel any guilt. Just saying.

We actually made one yesterday from dough I am cold Fermenting still in the Fridge.  I also made the sauce with grated onion, Crushed San Marzano`s, Garlic, Olive Oil, Basil, and the taboo 1/4 tsp of Sugar.

I still have enough for one more crust (I doubled the recipe to make 4 crusts) but I am going to let it ferment 2-3 more days.  We ordered a pizza today precisely because we did not feel like cooking, although later we will make some Strawberry smoothies.

Do you work at all? Like in having a job or just live off your inheritance? You always seem to avoid or ignore that question.

Would various pictures suffice?

Securitate prefered boiled onions

A lot of times, if not most of the times, those mom and pop, hole in the places, make the best pizza then the major chains. I figure they put more personal care into it then some college age kid who really doesn't give a rat's ass.

The chains are nothing but an excuse to get a pizza delivered to your home, at least here in Japan.

I have 3-4 excellent pizza places nearby, some run by Italians as well, but they all don't deliver. It's not that common in Japan, only the chains do it.

Can someone help answer this for me.  Why do some people eat Pizza and when they get to the crust, they don`t eat it and pile it up on the plate.  What is the reasoning behind this?

Shitty pizza, or fucking retard.

Yes.  Both of us Self-Employed from home, operating a small business.   We also have zero debt obligations.

Well, the offer is very tempting. Very tempting indeed. But at this point I feel it is best to just let go. In the past, I use to try to drag things out. Hoping against hope that one could in a sense revive the dead. But with age, experience, and an increasing sense of bitterness I tend to go through life with more of a sense of stoic resignation. Think of me as sort of a modern day Diogenes without the beard and with a much better tan.

With your level of perpetual lean-ness and your location, I find it hard that you do not have ten Jezebelles in your basement.

Getting our food, or really anything for that matter, with the least amount of physical exertion is the American way.

I so need to do that. I'd take a 50% cut in pay just to do things on my schedule. That's the only thing I give props to Goodrum for. That he got out of the rat race and began working for himself. Anybody that can support themselves, whatever their life style is, by being self-employed gets my respect.

What kind of biz are you in or is that too personal? I bet it's something faggy like home made cookies or fancy cook ware.

[badlad]

Slightly off topic but probably the main reason I cannot stomach going to restaurants is precisely because people leave half finished meals on their plates. I was raised to eat everything you were given (largely because that I was raised to appreciate a decent home cooked meal and what there was was all there was). I just can't handle watching people buy a meal and then eat bits of it. If you order something off the menu - tailor it to suit your appetite or likes/dislikes. I can't stand wastage of food. hey - if the food is crap then sure, don't eat it, but then again - if you are at a restaurant and the food is crap send it back, get a refund or something - don't just leave your scraps all over the show.

Gayer than baking a Blackberry Jam Cake just because you want to get rid of the Buttermilk in the Fridge in order to try a new brand.

We must have had the same family.  I was raised to always finish your meal, never to take more than you can eat and to always remain seated at the table until everyone was finished eating and the table was cleared.  My father was very serious about these rules.  Where in the South are you from? (this was rhetorical as I know you are Australian  )

True Adonis - since you are there right now - me not being in the US - can you suggest a good recipe for home cooked white chocloate and raspberry cookies. i have a recipe for (is it NeimanMarcus ) white chocloate and raspberry muffins but would like to attempt a cookie now. Looking for something fairly general but proven - I don't have access to a lot of the US domiciled  ingredients so will probably have to do some educated substitution.
Cheers if you can assist.

Close - New Zealand bro.

On it right now.  First question: Do you have a food scale?  I want you to measure everything so you get it perfect.

[The True Adonis]

Close - New Zealand bro.

Was it my imagination or did I read that you threw someone out of a club in Sydney.  I hope I don`t have dementia.

[badlad]

Yep - have a scale and yep - worked in Oz for a few years, Europe and Asia as well.

I ate pizza a few times as a child and it made me nauseous. I never ate it again.

Are you looking for a Shortbread type cookie or a more traditional type?

[bike nut]

So the ability to ingest pizza is the true measure of success in life.

Man, must have missed that memo.

[badlad]

Something kind of soft if that makes sense - kind of soft and chewy
