Back in the Big Eight days, Nebraska and Oklahoma were major rivals, but with a lot of respect for each other. The Big Twelve pretty much ended that rivalry when they went to two divisions, a step which meant Oklahoma didn't play Nebraska every season, and that ultimately led to Nebraska leaving for the Big Ten, and Oklahoma and Texas later leaving for the SEC.
I've been using some of the thin crust recipes in the King Arthur Book of Pizza, they're pretty good. But I use my own sauce recipe.
Dinner: sous vide prime rib, mashed potatoes, gravy and broccoli, and a cookie for dessert.
I made a half batch of oatmeal M&M cookies today.
Pizza night again, thin crust with sauce, orange sweet peppers, artichoke hearts and whole milk mozzarella cheese. Yum.
We got some Chinese chestnuts to try planting.
My wife put 3 of them in a pot by themself and 3 in another pot surrounded by some gazania seedlings. The squirrels dug up the first pot to get to the chestnuts but not the second.
I'm doing pizza again tonight, using the King Arthur 00 pizza flour this time.
We had take-out Chicago dogs.
We had sandwiches on Banh mi rolls, and followed that up with splitting a Chicago-style hot dog that a local restaurant has just started offering, pretty decent.
Babka is pretty easy to make. Peter Reinhart's recipe in BBA is reliable, but there are lots of others. You can braid it, you can twist and fold it, you can break it up into small chunks and stuff it in the pan, they all work.
We had salads with tuna tonight.
I need to check our black raspberries again today, I picked about a half-cup two days ago.
Yesterday's lahvosh pizza was so good we did it again today.
3 and 4 are both good, 4 spread out a little more than 3 did. I think the white silpat doesn't pick up as much heat and transfer it to the underside of the cookie as the red one does, so it spreads out more.
We had a lahvosh pizza with artichoke hearts, bell pepper, havarti cheese and mozzarella cheese.
