I definitely agree Tombstone isn't what it used to be. Granted I was a kid in the 80s with kid taste buds, but that tavern pizza was a different and better product. With that said, there's a bit of technique to getting one to turn out mediocre+ instead of poor. The crust curls up into weird contortions when baked, and gets a strange mouthfeel as well. Keep an eye on it and when it starts curling, switch to low broil with the oven door ajar.

Back in the late 70's Rocky's was a true deep dish pizza but certainly the definition of deep dish has changed and I don't really even consider Rocky's to be a deep dish pizza at all anymore. I would never try to compare it to a Chicago style deep dish because that is an entirely different animal. I really like the Chicago-style deep dish pizza after I get about half the sauce scrapped off. But I have never found a decent Chicago-style deep dish pizza in the western half of Dane County. Recommendations are welcome. I'm to the point where I have started looking at youtube videos for recipes because I am pretty near trying to make my own from scratch! It does you no good now because they've been gone for a long time, but Gino's on State St. in Madison used to be phenomenal.

Something I’ve been doing lately with frozen pizzas is just getting cheese pizza and building from there. That’s nothing new but something I would highly recommend is to mince 1 or 2 cloves of garlic and make that the first topping and put the rest of your chosen ingredients on after the garlic That small step really pays dividends. Assuming you like garlic that is.

I doubt it will be the last. I think someday the world is going to at least approach normalcy, and I think people are going to want to have real face to face discussions after spending so much time without them. Somebody's bound to be clever enough to write a series full of twists and cliffhangers and sex and what have you that people love. I'll admit, I don't really care if it happens or not. So many times it was awkward being the one person in a group who had no interest in or knowledge of game of thrones whatsoever. Breaking Bad was fun but I watched it all way after the fact.

Greatest RR ever had to be 92. Flair win and Heenan on the mic. Heenan was always great but that day was something else.

I do at home with frozen pizzas. Just a dollop here and there to make it interesting. Not uniformly. Unless the crust is big and dryish, then I'll do a side of ranch for the crust and put some hot sauce on the ranch. Hot sauces I like for pizza are: (from mildest to hottest, the list goes) green Tabasco, Secret Aardvark, Famous Dave's Wilbur's Revenge. Also, if I make a frozen pizza at home I pretty much always add jalapeños and onions.

I’m pretty excited about Elon Musk’s new polar orbit starlink. When our cable/internet/cellular provider finally has competition (and should be much better overall, too) it will finally be feasible for me to cut the cord. I am looking forward to when the time comes.

Nice call by Zad re: Thirsty Pagan. If you're in Sup town, that place has really good pizza and pretty decent beer too. It's somewhat hippie, though, in case that kind of vibe is off-putting to you. I learned about Ooni from this thread this thread today and have added that to my list of life goals. As far as reheating goes, I agree oven or toaster oven does a better job, however I generally don't care and will use the microwave. Leftover pizza for me is all about a fast easy breakfast. I prefer it not to be cold out of the fridge though, the cheese just isn't right. If I know I'm going to eat it the next day I don't even bother to refrigerate it and it's pretty decent for me just luke warm.

I happened to turn it on last night and so glad I did.

Thanks nate82, that was pretty informative. They didn't really touch on my dilemma regarding wifi, and that's always tough for me when dealing with products, as most seem to go with the assumption of unlimited and fast wifi everywhere. The product looks very cool aside from the whole facebook thing. Has anyone here gotten one and care to chime in thoughts?

I'm considering ordering the oculus quest 2 I have been seeing all this hype about. I've been wanting to get some kind of VR system for a long time and the quest 2 seems like it would get me in at a much lower price point than getting the whole PSVR system. I haven't had much luck figuring out if it's a viable system for offline use. I realize some games where you play with other people you'd need to be online for sure, but what about the rest? I could take it to work and install games and updates as needed no problem, we have a big pipe there. At home is a different story, I get 30gb/month so I don't even bother with wifi, just ethernet into the laptop. Also, do you have to be signed into facebook on the thing in order to play?

Has anyone got any prime originals recommendations?
-
I wish I could have seen that. Bob Uecker was on that one, as well as the famous match of Macho Man Randy Savage vs Ricky “The Dragon “ Steamboat. Do you have cable or satellite TV with FS1? Might be free on on-demand since it was just on over-the-air. Sadly, I don't even get FS1 with our cable package.

Isbell's new album drops 5/15, I'm looking forward to that.

I noticed The Wonder Years series on amazon one day. There’s a show I assumed would never be on dvd due to music rights.

GAME05 given all the home time these days I started to re-explore investing in ps4/psvr. I never moved on it after our discussion about it in 2018. Reading your latest post gives me some pause though. Other considerations I have: I'm surprised the price hasn't gone down in that time. Does anyone have a recommended vendor besides Best Buy? Best Buy's website could really use some work. Try as I might, it only wants to sell me things that they have in stock over in Anchorage.

But leftover pizza is a wonderful breakfast. Possibly the best of them all.

What’s your objective? If it’s to speculate, I’d go with the iShares Silver Trust ETF (ticker: SLV). The transaction costs on trading physical gold and silver will eat into your profits. Do you have sales tax in Alaska? It’s a killer in Wisconsin for trading physical precious metals. You pay a 5% premium to buy, but you don’t get it back when you sell. The state keeps it. No statewide sales tax, just city sales taxes in some towns. There are dealerships over in anchorage for gold and silver, and no city tax there. But that’s a 400 mile plane ride away. My objective of course is buy low and sell high. Just following prices it seems like there may be a good opportunity right now, trying to figure out a smooth way to do it and of course most importantly not get burned.

Metals are plummeting. Does anyone have a source they would recommend from their own experience buying and selling?
-
The metals all dropped last week. I was hoping palladium had fallen way down but no. I wish I'd gotten in on palladium a year or two ago....

Tonight I tried one of those DiGiorno pan style pizzas that come with their own cardboard pan. Only set me back $20 at the village store out here in Chefornak, but what do you do when you're hungry and options are limited. I diced up some jalapeños and onions to top it off, standard. Maybe it's because the crust singed on the tray and it needed more cheese and sauce. Or maybe it's because it paled in comparison to the T-bones and crab legs dinner I was planning to have with my lady before bad weather kept flights from bringing me home today so instead I'm still here. (Where it's been a week since a shower due to the water plant here having the lines freeze, I might add.) Whatever the case may be, I'd say skip the DiGiorno pan style.

Who remembers Gino’s on State Street? That was deeeeep dish. One pizza would feed me for 5 days and it was so good I wouldn’t get tired of it.
-
I don't mind pineapple. There's a place in Anchorage that used to make a killer pizza that had pancetta, caramelized onions, cream cheese, jalapenos and strawberries on it. Sounded strange but was amazing. I too still have a soft spot for Rocky's, although I haven't had it in many years. The corner pieces were the best.

Mmm, haven't had Buck's in 30 years. Pizza Oven has recently closed. Is Buck's pizza the same as Buck's Bar? No it's just a little take out pizza place on Cottage Grove road (East side of Madison.) Their pizzas are thin, cut in squares. Not the same as Steve's but somewhat similar.
