doojable

Hon, I think they have gotten hosed plenty.......

Pizza I use a pizza stone to make sure the crust is real crusty. Cook pizza in a 450 F oven. about 35 min. Dough 1/2 oz (1 cake) compressed fresh yeast or 1 package active dry yeast Slightly less than 1 cup lukewarm or hot water (use lukewarm for fresh yeast and hot for dry yeast) 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour Pinch of salt 1 Tbs olive oil Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm or hot water. Arrange the flour in a mound in a large bowl and make a well in it, then pour the dissolved yeast, salt, and the olive oil into the well. With a fork, slowly work the flour from the inside wall of the well into the liquid. When the mixture becomes solid enoug to resemble a sough, work in the rest of the flour with a folding motion of your hands, laving about 1 Tbs or the flour unincorporated. Place the dough in another bowl, sprinkle with the laeftover flour, and cover with a cotton dishtowel. let rest until doubled in size (about 1 hour at room temp) away from drafts. When ready, spread the dough with your fingers on a floured cutting board. I have a peel - the wooden board that is used to put pizzas in the oven - if you don't, use a cutting board to slide the pizza into the oven. Make the dough fairly thin as it will rise a bit, I make my own pizza sauce. Then I top it lightly with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, capers, olives, green peppers, or whatever I want. The real trick is to not put too much sauce on the dough and to work quickly. I have let the kids make their own pizzas. I also like artichoke hearts, spinach, pesto instead of red sauce, chicken, and mozzarella cheese - its called a "white pizza" Very tasty! Pizza Sauce Best made an hour or two ahead since it needs to be cooled. 1 14 oz can tomato sauce 1 sm can tomato paste basil 4-6 cloves garlic, mashed salt and pepper celery seed oregano put all ingredients in pan and heat. Add a bit of water for better consistency - but do not make it too runny as it will transfer the moisture to the pizza crust and make it doughy and hard to move to the oven. bon appetito

Anyone remember when J*3 C*^lter made us listen to PFAL in an accelerated time? VPW started to sound like a chimpmunk as they sped up the tape - the idea was that instead of 40 hours of teaching, that we would listen to it in 20hrs. So WHY IN THE HECK do we need another 69 hours? Forgotten teaching - mmmmmm - maybe there's a reason we forget (and lose) some things. It has been a DISGRACE for me - to be in this thread. I wish you could read that in the original - its reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaal so-so. Isn't this VPW? And his BOT - you remember them. And his wild ways - oh and don't forget that drambuie! No wonder he can do no mighty work in this town.... A prophet - err...teacher....errrrrr..apostle....SHOOT! whatever - is not without honor...

I complained and whined to Paw and he built a new hallway for me. You need another way in Ex10?

Dmiller - let me look for lots of recipes. One major issue in the US is that we put WAY too much cheese on our pizza! We even layer the crust with cheese and then also stuff the outside with cheese! (Heart attack on a plate) In Italy, there is very little cheese, and the toppings are more flavorful. I'll try to come up with something that makes everyone happy. Now - I'd also go to RumRunner's site and take Sushi's suggestions. get back to you soon

Homemade Whole Wheat Blueberrry Pancakes Heat a pancake griddle to approx 400F 1 cup unbleached white flour 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1 tsp salt 1Tb baking powder 1 1/2 Tb sugar 1 egg 1 3/8 cups milk 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries Mix all the dry ingredients. Add the egg and the milk - DO NOT OVER MIX! (This causes the pancakes to get tough) Gently fold in blueberries. I get only a bit of butter on a paper towel and wipe the skillet - only a coating - you don't want lots of butter floating around. Pour batter on the griddle using a small ladle. Turn the pancakes when bubble start to form. Serve with ONLY PURE MAPLE SYRUP! bon appetito!

dear Jard -I've looked and looked. Cleared my cache, cleared the cookies, rebooted, I've even done searches under different posters names - nothing. I wanna post...sigh...sob

I can't find the "In the Kitchen" Forum anymore! OK -was there a mutany? Did I get ousted? I just wanted to post my recipe for homemade, whole wheat blueberry pancakes, and that vanilla cheesecake with cranberry jewel toppping, and , and, Oh well.....

Awwwww shucks! Who's shucking who?

When I was in Houston I was asked my last name: "Califano" "You don't know your last name?!!" I just told you my last name!" "You said, "Hell-if-I-know!" I SAID, "CALIFANO!" LOL!!!!!!

I use the carcass for turkey minestrone......

Abi - what are you thanking me for?

Belle - that was hardly a casserole - but here goes: Eggs, beaten onions, chopped garlic green bell peppers, chopped reindeer sausage, cut in 1/2 circle slices Roma tomatoes, sliced into circles grated cheddar cheese I a very large skillet, melt butter (real butter - not that fake junk) Add onions and garlic and saute until tender, add peppers, and sausage. Mix in eggs. As eggs begin to set, add tomatoes and cheese. Serve hot with lots toast, bagels, whatever - and lots of LOVE!

Hey! Who made this mess????? Better yet - Who's gonna clean it up? Think we can get Rosie and Donna to "bless us?" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

So if a teaching is hidden - then no one has found it - Right? Once it's found, IT"S NO LONGER HIDDEN. Who's on first? What's on second? Idunno's on third. It once was lost but now is found - was blind.....hmmmm still is!

Kitchen? Hmmmmmmm.... I think there's a men's club out there somewhere missing someone or something......... Do turkeys do exotic dances?

If it had pineapple on it - It must have been Dmiller! ;)

Hey! Didn't VPW talk about teaching the trees.....? So if a class runs in the forest and not one is there to hear it does it make a difference...? Now I wax philosophical......... :B) I need to go back up to Open and take another hit!

I'm not certain but I do believe the proper term is "shellalagh." Knobby wood......large joints..... what kind of forum are we running here anyway??? Groucho - you've been a baaaaaaaad Boy! Mwah!

Didn't they do that routine about Mr Rogers? "Whimbly wambly - Opps! I dropped my sweater!" "Name 3 famous Mickeys" "Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mantle, and umm, ummmm, Ummmm - Mickey Way??!"

I have a recipe for cajun seasoning = It has three types of pepper in it, along with other spices - I use it whenever I make "Blackened anything!"

Maybe we all need to take another hit of that giant joint in the Open Forum????? I don't read all of it - I only come here to harrass Tom Strange (and with that name - is it any wonder that he dragged up this thread?) HHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I use either ham or a bone or both if I have them. I also make corn bread if i have the time and I don't have to be a dancer's taxi - LOL

Lizard love - what is more beautiful? Heheheheheeh LOL

Runner - that was "That's not Funny - Its Sick!" Had the cartoon on the front with a sign "Try our Froglegs" and the little frog coming out of the kitchen in a skateboard thing - no legs....... It was Nadia Comaneci that was the gymnast.
