Cowabunga!

Aw, yeah, I know how to make a damn fine pizza.

I am finding that good pizza takes a lot of practice. I keep trying different recipes--but the most successful one I've found for thin crust, like the one up there, is snagged from the back of one of those bullshit cozy mystery books I periodically shelve.* I did hit a bit of a snag when the recipe suggested that I use my portable brick pizza oven for best results. Uh, yeah. Look, I'm surprised I have a pizza stone.** But even with the recipes, it takes a lot of work.***

On the plus side, if my appetite for pizza continues, all this kneading is going to give me some serious Popeye forearms. Who'd have thought pizza could make you a badass? The Ninja Turtles were right all along.


*But didn't actually read, because cozy mysteries are Not My Thing.

**Also I have this, thanks to my brother. That's all I really need.

***Getting the darn thing from the paddle onto the stone, for example. Which is why I had the fight with the oven.

Hehe, you should join the conlang mailing list and use that last bit as your signature. ;)

I've tried a couple of times to join, but dangit y'all talk too much. It's tough to keep up.

You can always set up your subscription to filter out "OT" and "TECH" ("What sort of software is available for making my own fonts?" type stuff) posts. Granted, that still leaves a lot of traffic, but you don't have to read every conversation.
