YAY!, Now you can make me an omelette AND a philly cheesesteak!

AND I have cholula sauce Evo which I think is so good with a southwestern omelette with salsa, asadero and steak :biggrin:

I even have pure sodium and some chlorine :biggrin: I'd be happy to make table salt for you:-p

My wife made a New England boiled dinner for our late lunch. She used my basic process, but added some habanero ketchup and mustard to the red wine. It was wonderful. You could cut that cheap chuck roast with a serving spoon.

Oh... I just had a fire-grilled pizza... the real deal on my grill. I am soooooo full, so happy.

Balsamic and steak is amazing...

Skirt steak is wonderful. It generally has enough fat to supply its own grease for pan-searing.

I'd say that a pizza on a grill is how a home cook gets the heat needed to cook pizza as it's meant to. You can grill it using bricks to make an ambient "oven", or right on the grill for a kind of smoky flavor. I love the latter especially, which is best with Mediterranean toppings, much as sausage was made for deep-dish.

I just don't like the bottom of the crust burned black. I'll send it back if it's charred, the charcoal taste from the burn will immediately overpower anything on the pizza. I see people on tv being handed burned pizza at these hoity toity places and you can tell from the looks on their faces that as soon as the camera tuurns away, they're going to spit it out.

Grilled pizza done properly is great.

I'll agree with every word you've said; I prefer my pizza with a minimum of Carbon, and a maximum flavor. Yes... flavor... TO THE MAX *80's guitar lick*. OK, I'm better now.


Yeah, a good fire-grilled pizza is like any other fire-grilled food: not charred. I find the trick is to grill both sides of the dough, top, then finish with less direct heat in a covered grill. Grilled pizza with grilled veggies... mmmmmm.

I like a little bit of char, but the toppings have to be tough enough to handle it. A strong sauce, smoky pepperoni, kalamata olives...ah yeah.

Say, I've got doggy-bagged pizza in the fridge right now! from New Years' Eve...

Went to Hey Lucy! on King before going out to see Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.
(... which was on TV just last night...)

The most mushroom-covered flavour they had was their spicy salami-lover. I don't usually get meat-lovers type pizzas - there are so many more interesting things to put on a pizza.

No matter how you try, pizza will contain somewhere between 5% and 10% of carbon. That's unavoidable.

Aha, THAT’S why my body consists of 18% carbon. Thanks Borek.

What was in it?

Evo said:

breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, habaneros, very little ketchup (was out of tomatoes and vinegar lol), salted kosher ground beef, one onion diced, one half of a huge bell pepper diced, hungarian paprika. I didn't put any extra salt since the beef was already salted. It came out really good. I usually toast bread and grind it to make breadcrumbs, but I used progresso italian style crumbs and my mom mixed everything together after I seasoned it. We had it with mashed potatoes.

I should note no religious affiliation, I just like that ground beef lol

Sounds great! I use progresso Italian breadcrumbs also.

They're good :)

I usually like to grind the bread (while mumbling a few expletives)...it's like stress relief for me. I forgot to mention I also put ground red peppers in it.

Many thanks for your support HeLiXe & Evo!

That must be the worst criminal avocado fruitcake ever! I was on the edge there for a while to commit Avocado Seppuku, and prepare for The Last Fruitcake, but now I know there are bigger losers out there!

This thread is a very "nervous" place for a little goofy avocado like me... mashed... 350 degrees... I need to go to Avocado Rehab for a couple of weeks...

Take care and don’t eat too many of my relatives!
