Pizza on the grill is divine. I build the pizza directly on my pizza stone and then pop it on the grill for 18 minutes or so. I use exclusively charcoal so the hot coals are in a circle at the outer edge of the grate with a big space in the middle with no direct heat.

Once the pizza is done it slides right off the stone with just a regular metal spatula onto a pizza pan. I don't use cornmeal or anything else on the stone. I do it this way when I make pizza in the oven too. Nothing ever sticks to it. I think the first couple of times way back when a couple of spots might have stuck but not for a very long time.

If I had an actual pizza oven (very wishful thinking) I would have to use a peel. I'd be leaning towards wood. We had friends who owned a pizza parlor business in the city and they swore by wood peels. Could just have been their personal preference though.

We had steak, french fries and corn on the cob. Kind of ordinary but tasty!

Baker Aunt - I did email you for the right address. The email address I have for you is first name last name at att dot net. Not sure that is right though. Mine is also an att dot net address so maybe it got caught in junk mail. I can try again. Thanks.

Happy Birthday Cass! I sent you a "wire" but the post office is none too reliable lately. Enjoy your day and I hope it is wonderful.

I made an apple pie for Pi Day. We will probably kill it off for dessert tonight.

Corned beef and cabbage with carrots is simmering on the stovetop as we speak. I made soda bread to go with it.

I made apple pie for Pi Day and I just took a loaf of soda bread out of the oven to go with tonight's corned beef and cabbage.

Smoking a brisket will take at least 12 hours. You have to control the temperature to around 225-230 degrees and feed the fire every hour or so. But it is worth it in the end. A pork shoulder takes around 10 hours or so. I smoke each of them a couple of times a summer. It freezes very well since eating the whole thing is impossible. A nice surprise when it is freezing out to get a taste of summer from the freezer.

There is a way around the 3 recipe limit. I also get their emails. If you clear your cookies after viewing 3 recipes, the "clock" resets and you can keep viewing. I looked at over a dozen recipes last night doing just that. It is kind of a pain but it does work.

I just took my sweet potato pie out of the oven. The house smells wonderful. For the first time ever I baked the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. I had the oven on for something else anyway so I put them in. I am curious to see if there is a difference between boiling or baking them. Funny that Mike was talking about doing the opposite.

50% of us (not me) will not touch pumpkin pie with a 10 foot pole. Years ago for the first Thanksgiving after we were married it was requested. I had no idea and never heard of it before so I asked around at work. Lo and behold one of the women came in the next day with a handwritten recipe from her grandmother that she shared. I've been making it ever since.

Here is something I found in my recipe folder on the high gluten flour which was previously called Sir Lancelot. I'm not sure if it came with the flour or if I got it off the KAF website. It does have a bagel recipe and I have made it a few times. Something to try later after I finish cooking the sourdough english muffins I've got waiting for me.

edit - the baby bagels recipe on the KAF site calls for hi gluten flour too. The copy in my file actually says Sir Lancelot hi gluten flour. The recipe otherwise appears to be the same.

The Vietnamese Baguette recipe is posted here. I think it is under Bettina. There are also recipes under 4paws2go. I don't think we got anywhere near all of her recipes off the old BC. I posted everything I saved.

I was in the canning section of our Meijer on Saturday and they had no quart jars at all. There was a decent amount of pints but 1/2 pints were not as plentiful. They had quite a few regular bands and lids but wide mouth was a much lesser quantity. They had a good amount of pectin and labels too.

Chocomouse - I grill anything and everything. I have made green beans before. I blanch them and toss with olive oil and oregano. I grill them in a disposable pie pan and at the very end sprinkle with romano cheese. Probably 10 minutes tops depending on the size of the beans. Sometimes I slice mushrooms and toss those in too. You can also roast them in the oven the same way.

Happy Birthday Cass. Hope you enjoy your special day!
