Remember those crest commercial where the kid says "I only had one cavity" as though that was a good thing? That was my childhood, our well water had no fluoride and I wasn't a diligent brusher so my molars are basically held together with fillings, and now my back molar is broken in half. Plus I'm pretty sure I've got a cavity on another one, but I was planning to wait until my regular check up in June to find out.

I was enjoying a sheet pan meal of thai frozen veg mix in an orange ginger sauce with KFC popcorn chicken and fries when I suddenly bit down on something hard. It's a tooth. My tooth. I don't know if that makes it better or worse 😭

Geaton:

One cup hot water
One packet fast-acting dry yeast
Three cups all-purpose flour
One teaspoon salt
One tablespoon honey
Two tablespoons good olive oil (extra virgin olive oil)

That's pizza dough that never fails. It makes one large pizza to feed the family.
I rise mine quick by putting the oven on warm and putting the dough in a greased metal bowl with a hot wet towel over it for about an hour.
Then I lay it out in the baking pan, cover it with the wet towel again and put it to a second rise in the same oven for about another half hour.
This will be the best pizza dough you ever had.

Alva, my fave pizza topping is pepperoni and green olive. A salty delight! I purchase the pizza dough from my town's local pizzeria. My son used to be their pizza chef (his tossing skills are still intact). I bet if you asked, your favorite pizza joint may be willing to sell you theirs, even if it's not something they normally do. Ask the owner or manager. But...nothing beats homemade pizza dough. My cousin used to make the best buffalo chicken pizza. Mmmm... Mangiamo!

Made a veggie (onions, peppers, cauliflower -what I had on hand) and ground beef skillet and also some hamburger soup. I had bought a large pack of hamburger meat so needed to use it up. It's still cool enough that a nice spicy hamburger soup will go down well.

Oh, Alva

I am going to look for it at my Whole Foods. I don’t know if I will buy the seed one. I do buy their seed bread, but on pizza, eh…no thanks.

Thanks for info and directions how to make it. I will load mine up veggies to bake. I like a thin, crisp crust.

The crust in my store is in the refrigerated section where they have fresh pastas and such. It rolls out just huge. I take it out of fridge and let it rise a few hours. You need to roll it with vigor. It gets quite springy and likes to "fight back" but I love stuff that "fights back". They have two kinds. One with these minute little seeds. Too seedy for me I think . They claim anymore that teensy seeds aren't implicated in diverticulitis, but my bout was too crazy bad about 9 years ago to that the chance. Let me know if you try it, Need. I have this great huge thin pizza pan with holes all over the bottom, and quite light. I put pizza in when it's all dressed up at 7 minutes on 425. Another 5-7 watching it at same temp. As my fellow has major GERD I get the WHOLE THING.

Alva,

Count me in on the black and green olives! I never eat meat on my pizza. I prefer all veggies.

Please share more details about the crust. Do you buy crust from the Pizza section of the store where they sell pizza? Or another section of the store?

I like Whole Foods crust on the pizzas that we order to be picked up.

I love making my own pizza, though the dough I get from Whole Foods. Or whole paycheck as some call them. The dough makes the best HUGE pizza. Just found a new trick. I love black olives on my pizza but this time had not as many around as I like so chopped in some green! Absolutely great! I bet you ALL knew this trick long ago. Tastes like capers in it or something. A real tang.

Anyway, that's supper. Again.

I remember a plum pudding my parents were serving at Christmas when I was a child. As they started the flame it flew up my father's arm. They must have gotten it out quickly. I don't think he had any bad scarring but it was a fright. Never chose to set a fire to food since then although I am sure it can be done correctly. I will just pass at home.

Glad,

Yes. they flame it at the table and it smells incredible. You can read about the history of the dessert online.

Barb,

Yes, they have a great food. Old school New Orleans food.

Thanks cwillie. I'm going to try some along with the one year stuff. If it's any good the boys will love it at the lake house and I will love it for quick cheesy BLT sandwiches. I usually bake the bacon these days a pound at a time - and it disappears quickly. Being able to get a couple of slices for a single sandwich without having to cook it will be lovely.

NHWM, Iwe had Bananas Foster at Arnaud's last year. Lifetime dream of mine to get there; I worked with a woman who'd grown up in NoLa, moved to NYC for Grad School and talked about NoLa restaurants all the time!

TNtechie,, we have some, a friend of ours got it for prepping, The brand is Yoders from Burkettsville, Oh PO box 209 . LOL My hubs pulled the can for the info for you! And it's actually pretty good! We are not preppers ourself, but hey,, if it's free to try why not, so we gratefully accepted it. Hubs can eat it like candy! Just ope the can and reheat it in the microwave in a napkin. We have found its great for baked beans too! And they fit alot of slices in that can.

Does anyone use "canned" bacon? I just read an article that states fully cooked canned bacon has a 10 year shelf life... but I can't find any on amazon or walmart. Just fully cooked bacon in a vaccun sealed bag that is shelf safe for up to a year until opened (then refridge it). It's priced just a little higher than normal bacon so I think I'm going to buy a pack and try it. It might be good for my panty (in limited quantities) or for a camping trip. Wish I could find the canned variety; I would check it out too. My ancestors always cured bacon and left it hanging in the smoke house so I've never heard of canned bacon, although I have fixed some canned sauage (mostly used for gravy or in baked sauage balls).

I vaguely remember my great uncle smoking some hams but we never had a smoke house in my memory at either my grandfather's or my father's home. Dad had a smoke house when he was a boy but he probably tore it down when he built the new house before I was born.

cw,

All of those things sound great! We have a famous dessert here, Bananas Foster. It’s cooked bananas with a sweet sauce that is poured over ice cream! It made table side in our fine dining restaurants.

I made some banana bran muffins yesterday because I had a couple of overripe bananas, I like to add a banana to my breakfast smoothies or oatmeal but I didn't use them up this time.
My favourite thing to make (and eat!) with bananas would be banana cream pie, but I can't even remember the last time I had that.🍌

Today is National Banana Day. I love making banana bread. I put bananas in smoothies. Occasionally, I make banana pudding.

What is your favorite banana recipe?

Poached salmon and spinach salad. I may never do it any other way again. Strawberries and dark chocolate for dessert.
