Pizza Is Life

[DigDog]

fighting with an absolutely garbage oven in the last 1 1/2 years, i have taken the habit of cubing my fresh mozzarella and salting it with coarse salt. This helps a lot in removing moisture, you then squeeze out the liquid and most of the salt goes out with that. It really improves the way it melts and it doesn't make my pizza soggy.
It's not necessary if you own an oven that doesn't suck donkey balls, but in case you do, there's my protip.

oh and i recommend a metal pizza peel from amazon, they are much thinner and work much better as a classic peel - easy to slide it under the pizza even when thin.

I use a Superpeel to load (100% perfect every time!) & a smaller metal peel to turn & unload:

I've owned & used just about every cutter out there. I loathe to say it, but pizza scissors are the best lol:

My idea of good pizza is a symphony of flavors and textures. Jalapenos are too intense for pizza. They would dominate.

dude i buy anchovies by the 12-pack .. of 365g boxes.

 

[sdifox]

damn you internet and damn you ATOT. You made me spend six hundred bucks on charcuterie in the last 3 days.

I bought a 2.7kg spenish jamon from amazon because i was drunk.
Then i noticed that the ham is a slow delivery, and it will be here by the end of the month, so i bought another 2.5kg iberico that arrives today.

And then i just couldn't resist the cravings so i bought .. about 13 kilos of ham & salami from the croatian supplier.

pics will follow.

This is our fault because you were drunk shopping?

Eat plenty of veggies or yogurt with all that protein to minimize the impact of the uremic toxins. Animal protein is the worst for kidneys.

Woke.

 

[DigDog]

i think that was a joke.

Very likely not.

Well i think i can eat my way to happiness. I guess we're all guilty of something.

It's easy to see why the obesity epidemic exists when you consider how damn tasty and addicting food is.

Sugar addiction is no joke.

why the obesity epidemic exists

Side effect of "food by design". It's all a giant trap; we are fish in a barrel. This is worth the 10-minute watch:

It'd be much more worth a 2 minute read if it were text

Definitely. Sugar makes the good feelings happen even during bad depression.

Food (any kind of food) tastes better when:

(1) You're hungry

(2) You're not depressed

Yes, Katie Couric narrates the documentary "Fed Up". The 2014 documentary explores the relationship between sugar, the food industry, and the rise of childhood obesity. It also touches on the issue of how the food industry has misled consumers and the US government.

"For the past 30 years, everything we thought we knew about food and exercise is dead wrong. FED UP is the film the food industry doesn't want you to see. From Katie Couric, Laurie David (Oscar winning producer of AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH) and director Stephanie Soechtig, FED UP will change the way you eat forever."

You guys suck at talking about pizza

You guys suck at talking about pizza

It's something of a guilty pleasure. I went for a few years (until about 2 years ago) without eating pizza unless it was served to me somewhere. But I started making it again, weekly, and adjusted my lifestyle so on balance I'm eating OK.

I mean, let's be honest. Not a great source of fiber. Tends to be high in sodium, I'd think, fatty because of the cheese and typical meats.

Once a week, I'll indulge it.

OK, now you talk...

I was allergic to gluten & dairy for 10 years

I refuse to let a week go by without having at least a slice now lol

My understanding is, and I'll have to check with my accountant, but my understanding is that when pizza is on a bagel, you can have pizza any time.

Any... time...

It's almost too much power.

(1) You're hungry

I remember reading somewhere that

(1) fat cells never disappear
(2) fat cells affect hunger by releasing hormones

So people who become obese, even after getting back to a normal weight, generally feel hunger more intensely than people who have been fairly lean their entire lives. Makes it harder to keep the weight off.

If your conjecture that food tastes better when hungry, it also makes food harder to resist, compounding the problem.
