Ok. I thought all cable was digital now. Well, if you can check out the movie somehow, do so. It's pretty good.

This may be of interest to you.

A fictional character linked to a historical person a la "Hannibal the Cannibal."

now this becomes saturday thread.

gmku · 12.05.2009, 06:05 PM

I have just stuffed myself with 4 slices of the most incredible pizza: it has chopped walnuts, pesto, blue cheese, mozarella cheese, and garlic. Incredible. On a beautiful locally-made dough. I'm saving the rest for tomorrow.

Drinking with an IPA from a growler from the Wedge. Also incredible stuff.

Wondering what my wife means when she tells me that when we get together I tend to smother her. What the fuck.

um i don't know. i tried on a wedding dress at a secondhand shop and had chinese food. that pizza sounds like heaven.

tell me about the pizza dough and how you cooked it. I am as anal about pizza as you are about beer. Now the choice of topping was spot-on.

got another bottle of that prosecco thing and work to do.

gmku · 12.05.2009, 06:41 PM

Yes. I hadn't seen this combination ever before. So delicious. No tomato sauce, only pesto.

knox · 12.05.2009, 06:42 PM

yes, but tell me about the dough.
or did you order this pizza?

if you tell me you BOUGHT the dough ill be inclined to think you're not as serious about pizza as you are about thick beer.

I got from the deli of this organic grocery store I frequent. Sort of thickish, hand-tossed like. I cooked it until the edges got a bit brown and the cheese was well melted and just startiing to get crusty. Then let it sit for about 10 minutes.

knox · 12.05.2009, 06:45 PM

Now, allow me to be anal. You do not BUY pizza dough. You do NOT cook it in a gas oven. Sure, you can call that pizza, but it's not.
That'd be like a pizza-ish toast.

gmku · 12.05.2009, 06:46 PM

Sorry, it's the best I can do. And for the record, I bought the whole pizza at the deli, i.e., not just the dough but the whole pizza, and also, I didn't cook it in a gas oven but rather an electric oven, at about 400 for 30 minutes.

Oh, shit, I forgot to mention--also slices of portobello mushrooms!

knox · 12.05.2009, 06:51 PM

well, you did the best you could do.
another thing you could have done: some fresh rocket on it after it comes out of the oven and/or parma ham.

gmku · 12.05.2009, 06:53 PM

OK, just for complete accuracy, I'll quote from the label: Victory garden bakehouse pizza dough (unbleached flour, filtered water, expeller pressed, sunflower oil, salt, yeast, sugar), pesto (canola oil, parmesan cheese, fresh garlic, rice vinegar, salt, black pepper), blue cheese, walnuts, portabella mushrooms. SELL BY: 12/08/09.

gmku · 12.05.2009, 07:02 PM

Knox, I assume you have a recipe for pizza dough you can share?
