I think this would also be good for a toasted peanut butter and bacon sandwich. I also think it would be good for a toasted peanut butter and tomato sandwich.
Ok not extremely healthy, it’s pizza after all. But you can make this gluten free as well as vegetarian if you’re really concerned about that. The worst part is the carbs from the crust if you ask me. But hell YOLO.
Neither am I. I like to experiment with my cooking.
My wife tells me I should have been a chef and still recommends me to open a little cafe/restaurant. My problem is I turn 53 on Monday and don’t feel like entering a business venture at this age since I won’t really be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor this close to retirement age.
It is. I hope anyone who want to make their own from scratch pizza tries to do it. Homemade is way better than pizza joint frozen crust. Tastes way better than Pizza Hut, dominoes or papa john’s every time.
I love this article from Serious Eats about different ways to chop garlic.
The summary of it is that the more cell walls you rupture, the more strong and acrid the garlic taste is. A microplate is at the far end of that spectrum, but crushing the garlic also releases this extra garlicky power.
Too much of this can be overwhelming in a dish, so there are times when finely sliced or diced but not crushed is preferable. The deciding factor seems to be how you plan to cook it; long cooking rounds out the garlic flavour so by the end, it doesn’t seem as important whether it was diced or crushed. Also, there are some instances where one might want the sharper garlic taste.
When I’m feeling really lazy, I use a brick of cream of pumpkin soup as a sauce. I melt some butter in a pot, add some chopped garlic and let the garlic get soft, then add some rosemary, thyme and ground white pepper to the pot. If it’s dry herbs, I stir the herbs around for about a minute to wake up their flavors. Then I add the soup and let that get hot. Finally, I melt some grated Parmesan cheese in the sauce then add my cooked spaghetti. You can serve with more cheese if you want (I do, of course). It’s basically a heat up some ingredients in a pot and add cooked pasta. It’s even easier if you have some leftover, plain, cooked spaghetti already on hand in the fridge.
I’ve heard bad things about him. Like how he’ll go to restaurants and order off menu expecting them to make special dishes for him. Also he allegedly said some pretty unsavory things during one of his live talks. But man, I really loved Good Eats.
I lost my rice cooker years ago when it does and switched to the instant pot for versatility. I've come to the point where I do pot-in-pot rice, and it comes out perfectly every time. A couple cups of water and a trivet, then a bowl with the 1:1 water:rice plus a tab of butter on the rice setting. Takes a bit but no complaints in my household.
I also use an instant pot for cooking rice. It works great, but I have to set the time manually because the pre-set rice setting overcooks my rice.
I use the mini-instant pot, the regular one is just way too big unless you're trying to feed a family of five.
It is nice to reduce the number of kitchen appliances I "need". Instead of a pressure cooker and a rice cooker, I just have a pressure cooker and use it to cook rice.
Edit: I should also add that apparently instant pot went bankrupt, so you might not be able to find one or replacement parts ever again? Maybe?
