@Margaret Pilgrim consider watching the video , ref's above. you may not be in the market for a rotary evaporator but i wouldn't mind one. After all I used them in HighSchool but not for BetterEats. the Chef makes a Pizza near the end. I think he Knows How , and Why ( things turn out the way they do ) might have helped him make that pizza. maybe the i{Pot makers should look into a HomeRotaryEvaporator .

Breakfast , Improved : Outstandingly Delicious , and Easy I will not be able to improve this , in any way, it's that good. the red onions I keep in the refrigerator , and after cutting , they continue to grow and can get to be a bit harsh. I slice these thinly and gave them a soak in cold water. the harshness ( you can look it up chemically if you like ) is fortunately water soluble. I though of adding some capers , then said no , This Is It.

@weinoo with some respect : im sure those Master Bakers you mentioned and they are masters. I know as Ive seen some of them Work. they will all learn from the MC Pizza. possibly a lot. "' Those who Can , Do ; the Rest , Teach " one thing MC has not done yet is run a business , and make that business both successful and profitable. MC would be out of the Book Business w/o its Endowment. and Im very very very pleased as I look at my MC@Home , MC set , and MC Bread that they chose this path rather than this one : https://www.barrons.com/articles/paul-allens-414-foot-yacht-octopus-lists-for-over-300-million-01567781178 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOFKuZgLQ8Q however , the Boat is a bit cool.

I agree Watching is very important. tiny little nuance here , another there . Ive learned more technique from watching which added to a solid base from reading. watching the Video @drago ref'd above , MC Chef makes a pizza. I doubt that pizza can be improved significantly. but , as @Anna N correctly suggests YMMV. for those that are doing ( rather than chatting about ) pizza I hope there are techniques in the book that can be done @home that will improve your pizza based on your tastes. I doubt very much anyone here going to be making Tomato ' flour ' to add to their dough , any time soon. OK two people will. Id like to hear from them , and ask them to tell us what they think. I doubt there is going to be a single Tome : MC Pizza@Home why ? so far they have not come out with MCBread@Home. just yet.

C*AP. how have I managed w/o a rotary evaporator and a freeze-dryer , to make Tomato powder to add to the crust ? P.S.: tasty science

Pizza will never be the same. and Oooooo Oooooooooooo they are on the Next Project ! and an EZ-Temper !

one of the better NYimes pieces.

not that long ago say a couple of years pre-C-19 I would have been all over the Ooni oven. most of the time it would be on my deck right next to the kitchen and in the winter , in my garage ( w the garage door open w in use ) not so much now. But I have friends that are all over their Ooni and will be all over these books. I'm sure Ill get it at some point just to read , and get a work-out at the same time.

this is not a ' sale ' but I thought Id add to this thread as it involves ThermaWorks I got the TimeStack , as noted above. it was time to change the 9 volt battery I put in a fully recharged rechargeable 9volt. it flickered on , then changed its mind I call ThermaWorks. to make a long story short , they are sending me free of charge a brand new 9 volt , so I don't have to go out and get one. if that doesn't do the trick , they will send me a new TimeStack. talk about fine customer service ! put a smile on my face. thank you ThermaWorks !

@chefmd im very tempted by the offer you posted. hope its up in a day or so , gives me some time to ' stew ' P.S. : shipping charges are extra. for me its 22.50 , USPS. still , that saves 27 USD or so

Breakfast : mise : Dave's PowerSeed , CSO'd ( 1 gm added sugar ) CSO does a very nice job on these seeded breads Cedar's original humus , Tj's Kalamata EVOO , green tabasco : unimpressive looking . delicious . was going to add a few thinly sliced rings of Red Onion but was too lazy. would make a petter pic , and add a dimension similar to red onion on Bagel CrCheese smo0ked salmon. next time.

Wow ! Finally ! 3 volumes ! that's a lot of Dough ! who is buying ?

a little OT , but : Daves 21 grain was 3.99 and today I got a Dave' PowerSeed $.5.99 @ MarketBasket , which generally has lower prices. the PowerSeed has 1 gm added sugar , the 21 grain , 5 gm its possible i misread the price of the 21 grain . the 21 grain was very nice fresh for a sandwich. I didn't have to work at all adding some honey to my dijon for a honey mustard. dave did all the work for me ! 10 grms of added sugar , esp if fructose , is a lot for a sandwich. Ill check the price again next time. toasting 21 grain in the CSO made for a nice slice of toast. the toasting improved the grains and seeds. the slices stuck to the CSO rack , im guessing , from the sugar. the power seed did not stick wonder if ti work a thread on WholeGrain american sandwich style bread ?

@patti and how was it ?

thanks to @Duvel I to have a Pizza and Movie Night its Monday , and the Night sometimes if not always starts in the Afternoon. \ the pizza is Uno's deep dish I have attended Uno's in Chicago a few time circa 1974 or so. lines of course , but not really long I timed the trips ( perhaps 3 ? ) for the warm weather , and w a friend w a car. not so easy getting from Hyde Park to the North Side w/o a car but the Elders of Chicago arranged this design. the movie for me its not a movie as such but a series : Mare of Easttown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare_of_Easttown https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/mare_of_easttown https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/may/18/mare-of-easttown-terrifying-riveting-tv-thats-a-wonder-to-witness https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/15/arts/television/mare-of-easttown-review-kate-winslet.html NYTimes dropped the pelota : """" This has to be so because “Mare of Easttown,” which was created and written by Brad Ingelsby and directed by Craig Zobel, is in the tradition of Middle American miserabilism, a genre HBO has cultivated before in """ https://www.wsj.com/articles/mare-of-easttown-review-all-gone-but-not-forgotten-11618521099 so , my advice ? if you have not seen this series yet as there are two more eps coming up to finish the series at 7 episodes wait for a Binge ? I jumped in early so now I have Uno's Pizza night on Monday , as the hBO show is on on Sunday , I D/L on Monday and make it a Monday Event. My mother might say : do you need to get your head examined ? a complement actually used rarely , but w a smile. ot , now : C-19 aside , or front and center : well , younhave this to look forward to some thing for now its Mare.

in KA they use # 57 after the Heintz just scares the scallops right out of their shells Ronnie know all about this i think

@kayb what' this about Lucky ? Hubby : AKA Ronnie [ sp ?] when out in Kansas , Kansas and he shot sone scallops , scallops in Kansas ! Kansas ! that's not just dedication but , in KA that's a really good shot and in Kansas well we know what matters. after all , its not Texas , nor Oklahoma just yet.

@Shelby those look like RedBell to me. I have no problem(o) w mature Bells. green are not , and a Disease For Profit. Period . Im not too sure , but the green disease matures to various colors. all mature Bells might have their place . Q.E.D.

@Shelby GBP's ? outrageous ! sacrilegious ! Idiotic ! $#%O$)Y% ! Ill let @Csb respond Im hopeful there are no GSB's \involved . Im not sure of course so Ive move up my Monday Movie and Pizza Up to right now ( @Duvel have you seen " Up " the movie ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_(2009_film) )

P.P.S.: it's @Csb 's paella.

P.S.: Im hoping that is Spanish Chorizo sliced in the bowl @ about 2 O'Clock. looks a bit like pepperoni .

Not My Dinner , unfortunately : Mise : Hardware : note the sun is shinning, that Paella pan is over 60 years old. Purchased @ Galerias Preciados , in Madrid 1960. there were 2 or 3 , gifted to Penny and Archie's Provider . this is Woods Hole , MA over the weekend. just about ready :

OK you fit 8 lbs in your Crock ?

@alwaysdrawing how did you cook ' your butt ' ?

@Duvel your food is always so interesting and Im sure delicious. what's the Movie tonight ? this reminded me , for some reason , of ' The Name of the Rose ' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Name_of_the_Rose_(film) w of course Sean Connery the movie is a fine one, and the book much better. maybe not a good choice for the Little One now Pint sized or larger. cheers.
