I haven't eaten yet. I made what I thought was a big pot of chicken and
noodles but after dishing out two portions, there wasn't as much left as I
had thought there would be.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Will only have to cook for me for a while.

No worries. We aren't cooking the same thing. If I was cooking red
beans I'd be using andouille sausage.

HCFS? High fructose corn syrup? Never ever have I added that to cornbread.

And neither have I ... just commenting that it tears up the wife's
digestion . The beans turned out pretty good , but I'm no Cajun
Conny-sewer . Now a good jambalaya or shrimp creole is more to my liking
.. I used the smoked sausage because it was in the freezer , (if there is
a) next time I'll probably get some andouille just to compare .

I finished off the chicken and noodles. Next up will be a cold meatloaf
sandwich. Tomorrow I will cook a big pot of pinto beans.

My garden is beginning to burst forth... yesterday cooked an 8 qt
potful of sliced green zukes and yellow crook necks. This morning I
already picked the first 5 Kirbys.... much more soon!

We stayed later than planned yesterday visiting with the kids and
grands (all of our offspring live down in Memphis) so instead of cooking
we called ahead and picked up a pizza at Tommy's Famous in Mountain View
(Arkansas , not California) on our way home to The 12 Acre Wood . That
place has the best damn pies I've ever eaten ... but they're kinda
'spensive so we only get one occasionally .

If you want the best, it won't be cheap.
I drive 20 miles round trip for pizza passing a few locals along the
way. They just are not as good but are close in price.

Very nice, all this recent rain and hot weather is good for growing most things.

Right adjacent to my office is a small veg and herb garden/greenhouse (partially enclosed) that volunteers from our agency plants every year, it is going gangbusters, you can almost see the stuff grow...

Have you any tomaters planted...???

How much is "'spensive"? And describe that 'spensive pie'...
size/toppings.... if a goodly size with lotsa toppings it may not be
'spensive. I think the chain pizzarias with low prices are very
'spensive considering their smallish pies with skimpy toppings and
poor quality ingredients, 'specially fake cheese.

I see nothing I'd consider 'spensive on their menu, in fact those are
bargain prices:

Y'all are gettin' off "cheap", Ed...prices here in Chicawgo aka "Pizza City" generally run about 50% higher...

Pizza in general is one of those "high - profit" items, the ingredients are not expensive, but the mark - up is pretty high...I usually resort to making my own, pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Kirbys are pickling cukes, I like them in salads too, very thin
skinned so don't need peeling. Not many markets carry them and when
they do they are pricey and old... no one wants Mr Kirby
limp/flaccid... mine are freshly picked, very firm, crisp, and
tumescent.

Making your own is cheaper and better but store bought serves a
different purpose. It is not about eating pizza, it is about not
cooking and grabbing something on the way home. That may be tonight.
It is going to be 95 degrees, I don't feel like cooking and even if I
did, nothing excites me today. Dinner will be pizza or cheesesteaks.

A 16" cheese pie at Tommy's at $11.10 I'd say is a bargain.
Tommy's 16" FATBOY ( Pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, bells, mushrooms,
onions, green & black olives, pepperoncinis, [opt.]) $19.75... a huge
bargain... says it weighs 5 pounds!

This restaurant here has great pizza at very good prices... pizza at
bottom of menu:
http://www.paulspizzaandpasta.com/menu.html

What they call pizza at the chain joints is barely edible... Pizza Hut
is disgusting... frozen pizza is much better.

When it's 95º we don't want pizza... that's tuna salad and watermelon
weather... in fact yesterday I picked up one of those medium size
melons on sale, $3.99, probably test it out tonight.
I rarely light the oven in summer. cooking is stovetop or outdoor
grill. Yesterday it reached 96º here, in the morning I put up a pot
roast, we'll eat it again tonight.

I have to disagree. Little Ceasars Pizza is currently offing a large
pepperoni pizza for $6.00. Doesn't get much better than that, imo.

Yup...a few times when I've been lazy I will actually buy a "cheese" pizza at the 7 - 11 and then gussy it up when I get home with added stuff. Not gourmet, but it's six bux, plus what I add at home. It fulfills the basic "pizza need", I'll also buy one of the pre - made crusts and add stuff to make my own...


That may be tonight.

I have some cooked sirloin steak in the fridge, I am making some sorta salad thing out of that, simple and cool...

We had planned a small staff cookout today, but it's cancelled, it is simply too hot and rainy to be outside...

Little Caesars caters to the roadkill eating crowd... I'd be ascared
to eat a $6 pizza. Possum Pepperoni?

There's a new pizza place in town. On their window was a sign showing a large perfect pizza for 11 bucks so I tell my daughter to pick one up because we're going to the bank. She comes back with a very nice pie. What was shocking about it was that it's raw. Ha ha. What was surprising was that it was 6 bucks. Such a deal although 11 bucks cooked would have been better. My guess is that I gotta send in my daughter in to get a 6 buck pizza deal. I ain't getting nothing for 6, except maybe a dirty look and special secret toppings on the pie.

Slowly simmered with a chicken bouilion cube, a couple ounces butter
and herbs; dill/parsley, black pepper, a little sprinkle granulated
garlic and can't rush it. After an hour it all shrinks down to fill
half the pot, zukes are mainly water. Don't over cook or it'll
all be mush. Start with the lid on but then remove the lid so liquid
can evaporate. Do NOT boil.
This morning twice as many again were picked, all going to the
knitting club ladies at the library.
Seemed like I a cooked a lot but half is already consumed. At the end
salt to taste.
Took this pic two days ago, yellow crooknecks are very prolific and I
have a dozen plants, enlarge and you can see where some little critter
nibbled one:

Haven't been to Arkansas since I was small. We used to go there a lot when
we lived in Wichita.

I used to buy those only because I could pick one up almost instantly on my
way home. But now we have a Dominos that delivers. They've changed their
recipe. We like them and they're cheap. $5.99 for medium. I don't like to
get large. Box won't fit in the fridge. Last week they had an online
special. I got some smalls with different toppings. Those were around $3
each.

There's a new pizza place in town. On their window was a sign showing a
large perfect pizza for 11 bucks so I tell my daughter to pick one up
because we're going to the bank. She comes back with a very nice pie. What
was shocking about it was that it's raw. Ha ha. What was surprising was that
it was 6 bucks. Such a deal although 11 bucks cooked would have been better.
My guess is that I gotta send in my daughter in to get a 6 buck pizza deal.
I ain't getting nothing for 6, except maybe a dirty look and special secret
toppings on the pie.

I just don't get that. Too hard to get the raw pizza onto the pan. If I'm
going to start with raw, I'll just make it myself.

Papa Murphy's has good pizza take and bake style, they are already on an
oven proof baking round, so no pan to get them onto, and are very good for
the price, especially the Cowboy pizza.

I just looked them up. Although there is one in Bothell, I'm not really sure
where it is other than that it's in a part of the city that I try hard to
avoid because the traffic is terrible there. It's $18 for the family sized
Cowboy one. And in looking at the ingredients, it is something I would never
eat. I just very much dislike those toppings. I don't really even like pizza
in general. I mainly only get it if I can get it for cheap. The teens seem
to like it and my husband likes it, so it's mainly for them when I do get
it.

That just doesn't seem like a good deal to me. For less than $12, I can get
two medium ones that are already baked and I know they will get eaten.

It comes with a cardboard tray that the pizza bakes on so that's not a problem. It wasn't a bad pizza too. I'll have to try another soon but my guess is that a place like this could work.

I'm so sorry Steve. I really thought it was the Janet's job to tell me what
I should or shouldn't post. Or maybe it was Roy. Others here post of things
they don't like. Most recently it was zucchini, but I have also read about
cold foods, spicy foods, turkey and other things. Apparently it's okay for
others to post what they don't like, but not me. Is that right?

Also discovered that there is a closer Papa Murphy's to me in Mill Creek.
Most of the reviews are horrible. They hire people to stand by the street
and try to attract us with signs and arrows. Since I am driving, I never
paid attention to what those signs said. I knew it was a take and bake pizza
but didn't know anything else. Guess it was that. One review said there was
a 2 hour wait for the pizza. No thanks.

Wow! Yours got good reviews. Ours didn't.

This one got mixed but overall better reviews but the parking lot sucks. Was
fine until they put in the giant fitness place. Ace Hardware and my
hairdresser are in the same lot. Very hard to get a spot near where you want
to go because of all the people working out.

This would be the first one in the state so that might be a factor. We're impressed with the concept! I'll have to try a couple of pies before I render final judgement. When we were living in Lynnwood, I used to like to go to Little Caesars Pizza because it was dirt cheap.

This would be the first one in the state so that might be a factor. We're
impressed with the concept! I'll have to try a couple of pies before I
render final judgement. When we were living in Lynnwood, I used to like to
go to Little Caesars Pizza because it was dirt cheap.

We had a little Caesars by the K Mart where I used to work. In those days,
they didn't give you options. At least not at that location. You got two
square pies in a box. Pepperoni only. I don't eat the stuff and even if I
called in advance, they wouldn't make me plain cheese. What I had to do was
physically go in there and catch the guy as he was assembling and ask him to
leave off the pepperoni, which he would. They also had some kind of bread
and some kind of salad.

We only got it a few times. Although it was cheap, we always felt kind of
bloated and groggy after eating it. And I don't recall it being super good.
That place didn't stick around for long. Not sure why.

I know the menu changed at some point. I did go with my brother into the one
in Lynnwood. It's a Hawaiian BBQ place now. All of a sudden the pizzas were
round, there were more options and they had some sort of Simon type game you
could play while you waited.

When a business has to resort to signs like that I avoid it. Tacky
advertising usually means tacky merchandise/food.

It's about the same thing as a combination pizza, sausage, pepperoni,
olives, etc.
