BruceVC Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I'm going to make a homemade pizza tomorrow. I'm thinking of a Mexican pizza with home made refried beans, ground beef, Jack, Cheddar, and Asiago cheese, Jalepenos, and, after it's cooled, topped by sour cream and black olives all on an unbleached flour crust. I'll also make a more or less standard pizza with black olives, banana peppers, mushrooms, and maybe *maybe* some turkey pepperoni. Meanwhile, tonight we had fast food because I didn't have time to get anything ready to cook when I got home. Other pizzas I like to make: BBQ chicken or beef, bulgogi, and my famous lasagnizza (which is a single layer lasagna with pepperoni). Anyhow, I'm just checking out the boards tonight is all. Friday night, but too tired to go do anything, I think. Hi Cant That pizza sounded yummy. Add the recipe to the thread I created so we can consolidate these pizza ideas http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/62313-custom-pizza-toppings/ "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

LadyCrimson Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I think those with flu's gave it to me. .....mostly a high fever. Spending most of my time in bed, half passed out.

BruceVC Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I am working tonight at one of my customers, its midnight here and the change control only starts at 2 am !! I have mentioned to the IT guys thats is very unreasonable to expect people to work such a late hour. This customer is a major South African Medical Aid company and because hospitals use them for verification of patients details they claim they can't have downtime Now this may be true but the systems I have to work on don't even touch the primary database so that reason doesn't make sense So think of me working the next 6 hours "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

LadyCrimson Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Get better soon LC! I think it's my brain protesting all the paperwork and legalese I've been forcing into it recently. ...saw a post elsewhere about Hostess troubles. I was never into Twinkies or Hostess Cupcakes or any of that, so if they do close up shop and no one buys their brands and keeps those sweets alive, I won't miss them specifically, but I'll miss the company name being part of the culture. Something I grew up with and all that. No more Twinkie jokes ... guess it'll have to be Lil' Debbie jokes instead. “Things are as they are.

Calax Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 The company will go up, but according to cnn, the brands will all be up for grabs. So Twinkies may still be around, but they'll be made by Frito-Lay or whoever. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Cantousent Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Ah, the twinkie defense will live on! The pizzas I cooked today are almost done. Why do I do this to myself? I can't just cook a regular ol' pizza. I have to cook a regular pizza and a Mexican pizza. I can't just pop open a can of refried beans, I have to make them myself. I tell you, the kitchen looks like a bomb went off in it and I'm beat as hell. Still, I might regret my decision less after a few slices. Gettin' a bit hungry now.

Janmanden Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Just checking to see if my IE10 has finally lost its nuts and bolts and decided simply to stop working. A newline here just because it's so fun to enter something, which seems to be a big problem to detect for some odd reason. And another.. Just for the sake of curiosity about how the editor will display it. This is what I did for a few minutes today.. (Signatures: disabled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepenthe Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Today I have been jealous of Cantousent's pizza. He is lucky I live half a world away or I would have raided his kitchen What he said. I had the second worst hangover of my life, apparently from poor quality mulled wine (Glögg) I consumed on Friday. So I'm not sure it qualifies as a hangover, as I only had 2 drinks, but more of a poisoning of some type. Coupled with the fact that the drinks were had during what was the second worst date of my life... yeah That took most of yesterday, and had to go do some unfinished stuff at work, so not the best weekend in memory. Should be getting the grade for my dissertation tomorrow or early next week. Excitement in the air. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Raithe Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Just arrived home after the weekend camping stag do. Checking email as I drink a proper cup of tea and try to stir energy to go run a long bath.. Interestingly enough I was feeling fine while out in the November winter woodlands..then halfway through the journey home , hit by mixture of aches and exhaustion. Picked up some general knife handling, axe handling, tommahawk throwing and firestarting bushcraft skills.. Although clearing the stumps on the friday so we could pitch tents was a real pain. And on the saturday night, the grooms phone managed to work well enough that he got a message and picture from one of his fiancee's friends at the hen party as he was about to sleep. A picture of said fiancee in some brightly lit pub, riding some random male's back, whooping and throwing an arm back as if about to chuck a lariat.. She is so not going to live that down.

Gorth Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Spent most of the weekend cooped up indoors. Damn weather just too unstable in Brisbane. Sort of completely out of the blue taking the BOM (weather forecast guys) by surprise. More than 22000 lightning strikes just the first half of Saturday and 30000 homes without electricity (I was lucky, got to keep my electricity all weekend long). Just about all of them fixed up with power again by the electricity company here on the Monday morning. Most of the flooded areas are dried up too. Edit: According to the morning news, it was more than 100000 lightning strikes and 100000 homes without power over the weekend.

Enoch Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Mom's having surgery tomorrow, so I'll be getting up insanely early and driving up to Philly to be there with Dad and my sister while it goes down. She's getting a hip replaced, which has become necessary after she broke her femur back in January, had arguably botched surgery to fix it, and hasn't healed properly since then. (It's not exactly the right circumstance for a deliberate meetup, but if I happen to see any folks who I suspect of being Tigranes while I'm around UPenn, I'll try to come up with some sort of Obsidz-boardz code words to identify myself.) This is complicated by the fact that my wife's parents are already in town for the Thanksgiving holiday. (And that I'm to be the primary chef for the big meal on Thursday.) Fortunately, they're staying at my sister-in-law's house at present, so it's not too disruptive to duck out of town for a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Good luck on your mom's surgery, bud. Having spent a lot of time waiting around in hospitals, I feel for ya. Also, good luck with the bird, by which I mean the turkey. Remember, I like the mashed potatoes lumpy and the stuffing savory and the eggnog spiked with brady and rum (and even a little bourbon won't kill me, for my sins). I forgot to take my medicines last night, which lead to a long night and a day in which I basically didn't do much but sit in my armchair. I can forget the morning stuff without too much trouble, but if I forget the nightly stuff, which I do rarely, then I'm pretty screwed the next day. Still, it wasn't too bad. This was the day that the Lord has made, and so I rejoiced and was glad in it.
