Cooking and Dining

I like to bake. It's therapeutic for me. I've been baking since I was a little girl, so I generally know what I'm doing. Figured I'd try something a little different. Just wanted to see if I could do it and produce a semi decent loaf. Interestingly, finally, today my starter looks slightly more like...

Joshua Weissman. I'm actually following his starter recipe. After my first attempt at the uber basic King Arthur recipe. I don't know if I'm doing this right or not - if it looks right or not. It's not rising and I don't see a ton of bubbles.

blackjack68 - I did. Ep 6 made up for a lot of the middling of the rest of the season. I was dissatisfied that the last possible person to eat a bullet didn't, but whatever. Looking forward to the film next year. Also: Duke? WTF with that character. And to immediately give him the "By Order Of.." l...

Pittsburgh Sports Media Thread

So now that it was a Yohe scoop that he was willing to put in writing but later denied by HCMS, do we lend any more credence to it? Was HCMS just taking the bullet for his bosses and shutting it down regardless of validity? That I can't answer. All I know is that Yohe was confident enough in his so...

I'm just going to leave this here for anyone that cares:

That scoop about Hextall keeping Sid out of Game 6 was Yohe's and Yohe's alone. He told Rossi about it ahead of the piece he was writing for The Athletic. Rossi scooped him, acting like it was his. Complete BS.

Ozark finale: Damn, I wanted Ruth to make it. The love/hate turn she and Wendy took for me was the opposite of how everything started. It was interesting to see the shift in Marty/Wendy at the end there as well. Just glad Marty made it, or I may have rioted. Secretly glad I'll never have to hear "We...

I had to let somebody go today. 2nd time ever but I feel really affected for some reason. I don't remember this feeling last time. I had to fire someone that was completely incompetent at their job. Like, no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I lost 8 pounds in 2 days and was a complete mess over it. ...

Ghost was amazing as always - however, it's a better show when it's just them and not a co-headline. Missed some songs I would've really liked to hear. And they can shitcan Enter Sandman - I don't give two craps about that cover. Would much rather hear If You Have Ghosts. But Papa brought it like he...

It's essentially ready to go out of the box. The instructions are kinda weird - they go from "your pan does not need to be seasoned" to "here's how to season your pan" to "DO NOT SEASON THIS PAN". So I didn't season. No trouble getting the pizza out - I just ran my offset spatula around the edge and...

It was really delicious. Perfect amount of crispiness on the bottom while still being chewy and airy inside.

So I made my homemade Detroit-style pizza this weekend. Used seriouseats' recipe. Lloyd's pan. Battistoni pepperoni. Camp Horne GE had brick cheese after all. I also got to use my new proving box. Next time, I would make sure I had better pepperoni layering. Would also use a combo of brick + mozz + ...

I didn't know there was a bold option for Hormel. I tried the regular awhile back and was not impressed.

Kudos to those on this board that talked about Don Pepino's sauce. Made a pizza last week with it for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. Got a couple more cans at the store today.

No Wisconsin brick at Camp Horne GE. My quest continues. Also for good cup & char pepperoni.

I think I'll still try the Detroit dough recipe with regular mozz this weekend...just to see how I do with the pan & dough.
