Diane and I go to Port of Call for a burger on Christmas Eve....we are not alone it looks like a ritual for many. They have a drink there called the Monsoon, I'm sure you're familiar with it. A giant hurricanish thing in a plastic cup. I get one. Initially I am repelled by the cheap rum and sugar, but as the walk to Frenchman street wears on, my aversion wears off. The pulls through the straw on this lethal concoction become longer. My frosty plastic cup is my new buddy. I send Diane into the jazz bar on Frenchman street and say I am going to “look around”. I keep up the rum and fruit pulls and start to feel the full impact of this drink. Im only halfway done but realize sucking this thing dry is not going to end well. I exercise restraint and find a dumpster, preparing to sacrifice my frosty friend in the name of unfrosty relations with Diane for the rest of the day. I open the dumpster. Behind me, a voice calls out. “Don’t do that!!” I assume I have attempted to put plastic in a yard waste dumpster but by now you have realized the truth. I turn around and an entirely sober, unshabbily dressed african american gentleman asks “Is that a drink?” I advise him these are no mere remnants but a half Monsoon waiting to take him to Yuletide bliss! The exchange is made! Bells peal in the background, glad tidings for all, etc. etc.
POTD
great story telling as usual.
I wasn't actually all that impressed by my POC burger....undercooked, kind of a mess to eat. I get the allure of the bar for sure though, a pretty epic place to tie one on.

Yes it's a cool car. But prepare the lube/sawdust.

It's an Airboat Christmas miracle. I expect to see this heart-tugging story dramatized on CBS this December and every December thereafter until eternity, right after Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer.
NOLA is an awesome place to be for the holidays IMHO.

I did pull 310 on Saturday. I just need to get this layer of goo off.
315 coming up soon.
Yeah I'm only going up 5 this next cycle so 1+ is 315, then keep working this cycle until I can pull 315 at least 3 reps with good form. I know wrong thread. OT is complaining about being fat right now. I'll move back to Jacked bro thread.

As someone who delivered and managed a pizza place for years I find it best to make my own. #snob And you can make it Keto, too. Califlower dough or your other decent option is carbquik. If you try carbquik bake it for 3-4 minutes with the dough by itself, then take it out, then i would suggest a small thin layer of vegetable oil on the bottom (this is on parchment paper) then set the crust back down on the paper. It was a little dry and I believe a light oil will fix that right up. Then top the pizza. Toppings to the edge, please.
what is this :sorcery: you speak of....carbquik? Cause I've tried the cauliflower and I've tried a ground chicken concoction both

It's a pizza thread, so I think is allowed here.

Im debating on a foodie thread, with all the new age of places keep coming up left and right, i think its a great place to share foodie pics on whether it is local or ate at where you traveled. or the food you made (even though theres a crokpot thread)
should I eventually

I didn't see exactly how my g/f made the carbquik version. The cauliflower one I made was fine. There's tons of those floating around on the internet. most of them are gross. I used Parmesan cheese in it.
I googled it and it seemed like this is the one she used..
1.5 Cups Carbquik.
1/2 tsp salt optional.
1-2 tsp Italian Seasoning optional.
1/3-2/3 cup hot water.
2 sheets parchment paper.
Went to our monthly Autocross meeting tonight with at Rotolo's pizza.
Got the cauliflower pizza. Was pretty good. Lil fucking pricey at $14.99 for a 10", but I wanted to try it. Hummus, pesto, chicken, cauliflower crust. I added bacon. It was fairly thin, but had a good consistency.
Would try again.
Pesto is best doe.
I also used to make a peanut butter jelly pizza and a chili dog pizza....
Another thing you could try that I always wanted to is a breakfast burrito pizza. Maybe egg, chorizo, bacon, green peppers, onions, tapatio etc.???
The hours were long at the pizza place I tell you what.

I mentioned in the Love thread that I loved when pepperonis formed perfect little cups on pizza when baking. Referenced this IG, but finally thought to link it here. This shit is seriously worthy..

I'd say 50% of places have that kind around here.
This is my favorite pizza of all time. Guida's Detroit style with extra pepperoni on top
