Floof post: Pizza......the great divider
Comments (62)I truly love pizza and there aren't many toppings I dislike -- even a light bit of anchovy adds a nice bit of flavor. Right now my favorite is kale or spinach or arugula, with goat cheese or feta. I am also fond of Canadian bacon and pineapple, vegetable with thin sliced eggplant and zucchini (Leucadia Pizza in Encinitas, CA made a wonderful one), and most any other veggie combo. Pesto instead of tomato sauce is great also. Simple, classic pepperoni occasionally. Fresh herbs. It depends on my mood on the day! When I make my own, I like to put a variety of veggies and greens, and use the muffaletta mix from Aldi (my DD likes the spicier version, but this is plenty hot for me). I might put a little meat on (whatever I have on hand) but usually don't. I'll dress up my favorite frozen pizza with extra herbs and veggies. What I don't care so much for is thick bready crust (the thinner the better), fried crusts, sweet tomato sauce, hamburger (just seems wrong), barbeque (likewise), green peppers (I love them in meat loaf but almost nowhere else) and multiple fatty meat combos. None of that would stop me from eating it, though!...See MoreFloof post: Salt and Pepper
Comments (15)Rob333, I had the disposable S&P for a while and loved them- felt like a picnic every time we sat down to eat :) Amylou, those ramekins are way too cute! After the paper ones, I cleaned up some old wooden shakers we had and those looked great on the table. Then the in-laws gave us a pair of acrylic grinders for the holidays and I didn't want to hurt their feelings, so we have those on the table, along with a shaker of boring cheap salt- since I prefer it. By the stove we have a big stainless pepper grinder and a utilitarian looking glass salt grinder....See MoreFloof/Groof post: Really food network?
Comments (16)I thank the Food Network for introducing me to the old show "Cooking Live" hosted by Sara Moulton. It was really and truly "live" - how about that! She left the network because she was truly a teacher and not an entertainer. She can still be found on PBS https://saramoulton.com/ I had the pleasure of meeting her at a private function and had the privilege of confessing to her that she was the person who truly taught me how to cook (even though I was definitely all grown up at the time LOL) and use knife skills and well, it was a very special moment for me to meet a person who influenced my life. I do enjoy Diners/DriveIns/Dives for fun on Saturday night when we're having a cocktail and cooking dinner and Trisha Yearwood also for fun - but she does have some recipes that I enjoy and she conveys that it can be easy to cook....See MoreAnother RE Question (a floof post, as Amy calls them)
Comments (21)My cousins' street is called 'Silent Sunday', and I grew up on a street called 'Tarpon' (we're in FL). It would be fun to think up new street names, I've never considered doing that before. The possibilities are seemingly endless. To be honest, tho, I prefer numbers to names. It's so much easier to navigate. I guess the best compromise is numbered streets that have names too. Manhattan's like that....See Moreraee_gw zone 5b-6a Ohio
