Re: What's for dinner?
Tight, looks great! Tasty I assume?
We did pizza in the pizza oven, 20 minutes and wow! Store bought, home made... it does it all.
I did a brisket in the smoker the other day, left work early at 1, came home and started by 2. It was 10:30 when I took it off. Tasty as well.

Those are pretty cool. I got an air fryer a few months ago and really like it. Cooks really fast and easy to clean.Diamond Dave wrote: ↑Sun Nov 04, 2018 1:05 amWe did pizza in the pizza oven, 20 minutes and wow! Store bought, home made... it does it all.

Re: What's for dinner?
Eh, leftovers.
However, 2 days ago, I finally managed to do something resembling a decent pizza, after 2 years of trial and error
the main issue was the crust. My father knows how to make awesome pizza dough, I tried it several times, even with his coaching, and I never came up with anything decent. My wife and I tried alternative recipes, they either failed, or created a super thick crust, thicker than the filling. We tried buying ready made pizza bases, but let's be honest, they're garbage.
I got lazy and slathered tomato sauce and whatever ingredients I wanted on a tortilla. It came out quite great, I blew my own mind since I thought it would be horrible
the base was thin and elastic, and it noticeably shortens the cooking time, but now I have one last challenge: cook a pizza with a puffed up crust. If I manage to do this, I'll have mastered pizza-bending. If I can't, well, I'm still quite good at burgers and crepes, so I won't be left without anything cool to impress the kids with.

Re: What's for dinner?
yeah, there is a reason the pizza shop guys toss the dough, that's to get it THIN. you actually need to make it thin to the point you think 'crap, i think i ruined it'. also, you can't work dough too much as it toughens it.

1. Don't throw your pizza on to the ceiling?THEYTOOKMYTHUMB wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 10:59 pm Totally unrelated, but does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting pizza crust off the ceiling...??![]()
2. Move to Australia, after which it will be on the floor...
3. Tell a child that they cannot eat the pizza.
4. Wait for the cockroaches.
5. Pizza crust on the ceiling? Fake news.
6. Down here on Oz, we have ladders.... we also have flying carpets, but that's a different story altogether....
Hope I have been helpful.

Re: What's for dinner?
Mustard and pepper steak on green leaf salad with boiled potatoes , made by my wife to her own recipe , just perfect , followed by two mince pies with double cream . Now into my second glass of rose , it's a tough life 

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Leftover meatballs made for a couple of killer pies for the wife and I. Mine has the extra cheese.

Now I'm on a diet. So dinner today will be avocado toast with egg & tomato. It is very tasty, advise everyone to try!

Sometimes a Monday night home project runs late so you have to go with a full-on Rager at 10 o'clock at night...
