Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I'm not important enough to make my own thread. backread a few pages and you'll see my original post :p

And hell yeah bring on the recipes!

Thanksgiving pizza go!

i wish i had a fancy single-cup coffee maker =(

also gmail+google talk is so awesome. when you get new mail it pops up a notification

I bought one for when I have company over (I personally don't drink coffee/tea) but I also use it for hot chocolate. The one I got broke a few times though they sent me a new one in its place.

I've had my eyes on this one for a few months now. Being the avid coffee drinker I am.. I've really wanted one. Someone I know swears up and down it's the best coffeemaker around.

Going to try it out tomorrow morning.

i have one of the big coffee pots, and i'm usually to lazy to measure out just enough for me (even though i know its 4 spoonfuls of ground coffee and water up to the 2 line)

Here's my dough recipe:

- All purpose or Bread Flour (I prefer Bread flour... so puffy and good)
- Warm Water (About 2 cups, around 100-110 degrees)
- A package of Instant Yeast
- Sugar or Molasses
- Olive Oil

Pretty much, have the water warm (a minute or so in the microwave will do wonders), then put in the package of yeast (well, sans the package) and a tiny amount of sugar or molasses (about a tablespoon or less)

Let it sit in room temperature for about 5 minutes until the top gets all foamy and smells like beer.

Then, put about 4 cups of flour in a bowl with a smidgen of salt and a tablespoon of oil, then pour in the water and stir like crazy. It should be smooth and tacky, not sticky. Like if it sticks to your hand and doesn't come off, add more flour. If it can't stay together, add more water. Knead it for about 5-10 minutes (the more you knead it, the better the texture). Then, put it in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a towel for an hour or two in room temperature, or at least 5 hours in the fridge.

Then, when you're ready to cook it, take it out and punch it down because it will have doubled in size. Then try to form a circle with it about 12 inches or so across. If you need a smaller size, rip the original ball in half.

Then you're good to top it and cook it.

As for my Thanksgiving pizza, you'll need:

- turkey
- pre-made mashed potatoes
- turkey gravy
- mozzarella cheese (or pretty much any cheese of your choice)
- corn
- Lots and lots of pepper

Then, pretty much gravy on the bottom followed by a layer of cheese, then turkey and corn, top it off with mashed potatoes and finish it off with another layer of cheese. Soooooooo tasty.

Awesome, Thanks Mag. saved that in a text file. once I finally get moved in to my house I'll give it a shot. going to try to be fully moved by next monday

Sweet dude. Grats on the new place, too. Good luck moving that baby grand. :P

The thing I love about pizza is it's so pliable and open to interpretation. You can even put cranberry sauce or stuffing on there if you've got the gumption (I personally can't stand stuffing, that's why I didn't include it). I've got more if you ever want to try anything else out.

You also just got a new house, those are house warming gifts.
My family did the same thing to me :/

Needs salt >:

It could double as housewarming, either way I got coffee, a kickass coffee maker, and a pizza cooker. I'm satisfied XD

COFFEECOFFEECOFFEE :D!!!!!!!!!

Eh, I suppose mine was more troll since my birthday was 2 months after I got the house. xD

What do I do with the pepper?!?!
/confused
/eats pepper straight
Is this correct?!?!
Just messin' Mag.

You will eat the pepper, and dammit you will like it!

I personally put it right in my eyeballs for that extra peppery...

AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY EYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of awkward concoctions Mag, I made a left over Hibachi burrito the other day.
Was amazing.

Dude, they have this place out here called Chino Bandito. I have yet to go there, but it was featured on Food Network. I am very curious, though. As long as there's no rice, I'll be happy.

But rice is so good. :| It's unfortunate that you were overexposed to it growing up!

It ended up being
fried rice
steak
and hibachi teriyaki noodles

I'm making it again next time I have left overs.

btw,

Asian and Mexican.
Probably gonna be rice in there somewhere. >:

That's what I keep hearing. Noodles are good enough for me, though. Nomnomnom. Still... I suppose if I did enjoy rice, I might actually like sushi.

Sans the rice, and I would gladly partake. Yeah, I've learned long ago to keep a package of flour tortillas around at all times. You never know what you might concoct with those bad boys.

Throw random meats, cheese, and stirfried veggies into a tortilla. Viola~ 5star meal.

Looked up, quarter sized spider on my ceiling, shat bricks.

THEN WENT TO WAR. ...I killed it...I think..but it go poof c.c

Don't feel the slightest bit of shame, I've thrown laptops cuz one ran across the screen in the dark, screamed bloody murder, and sic'd my kitten on many a spider.

Also quick and easy.
That's how the hibachi burrito came to be.
I wanted to eat that but had 4 minutes to heat it up and leave my house.

If you cant find the body, its probably hiding somewhere until you go to sleep.

Well, I'm fairly certain I killed it, but it dropped somewhere and I don't see it.

I have Arachnophobia to no extent, I can't stand to even look at those things. D:
