  I'll try a pizza stone or pizza steel in a while. I've seen some good ones. One problem I had on my first pizza of the week was that my first pizza stuck to my pizza peel and folded over, even after I floured it. I was trying to heat the pizza plate up first and got that result instead. I...

temps are always going to be an issue with me. Too long on heat and I release the oil from the fat too much. Too little and no browning. Trying to find a medium is tricky. Next time I might pull out my grill. Even with that probably not much improvement. I went with the cheese I had on hand...

                 

  Bay leaf. dont mind it.   Lavendar. don't use it often, but its not bad in lemonade.   Cilantro... not a fan. To me it tastes like soap. I leave it out of most recipes.    Black pepper. don't mind it. sorry geeme. lol.     I did take some photos...   here was the deli meat section of Wal-Mart...

  On that note, the next time I go to the store I'm going to have to look for some more yeast. I've heard its getting pretty hard if not impossible to find. But I had some on hand, so I haven't really needed to go to the store for it-- plus I've been buying 3-4 standard sandwich loaves for the...

    Sounds like what I did with my first batch of hamburger buns. I actually remembered the salt, but I boiled some water and didnt let the water cool enough....and killed my YEAST! lol.   I had to make the whole batch again. The batch you all saw was my second attempt. hehe.

Another project of mine I finally got around to making. Jeweled Rice (Javaher Polow) with Beef Kabobs.   The layers are: lemon zest sugar syrup and slivered almonds; sauteed and sugared rehydrated apricot, cranberries, raisins, and black cardamom; and steeped turmeric soaked rice; all over...

  I once did use cast iron in my kitchen...and I did set the smoke alarm off. That was rather difficult trying to explain to my alarm company..haha. Now I cook such things outside on my grill. Maybe I will try the cast iron pan on the grill. I think I just sped the process up too fast that go...

indeed. a friend gave me this meat so I thought I'd try it.                I had to throw the burger back on the grill here after I cut it. I thought the burger was done and it wasn't. I cooked it a little long to ensure it was not still alive.               

make some dough                 they have risen indeed!    

ah marathon.  my old stomping ground. caught and cooked many fish there! That is, before Hurricane Irma destroyed everything.

So there was a blood shortage due to coronavirus. So I went to the bloodbank to give some blood since I can donate the special 2x Red Cells that help cancer patients.   The nurse told me I had to eat red meat and spinach for the next few days.   So I made a beef stew from what ingredients I...

Dragon fruit update:    Much have I learned.   1) the desert cactus starch method of inducing rooting in a dark place does not work for me.  However... 2) The drop method does produce better results. This  is just placing a mature cutting on the ground with the end to be rooted facing east...

I had to do some surgery on a few cacti today. I recently acquired a few cuttings from California and New Orleans, some of which took immediately, some did not. Those that did not I pulled up and examined further. I noticed that the cuttings were starting to rot at the end base, and that there...
