Just give me a REAL Italian Pizzeria and I'll eat most anything they have. Heck , I'm happy with just a white pizza, garlic salt and crushed red pepper flakes ( and no.....it's not alfredo sauce ;))

I don't understand all the strange stuff that pizza chains use for toppings and for the most part, they aren't even close to what a genuine Italian pizzeria produces.
Maybe it's not alfredo, idk. But alfredo would be good.

I knew there had to be someone besides me and my sil out there. My son doesn't like green olives period. I can, (and often do) eat them out of the jar as a snack. And jup, they just do something special for me on a pizza!

Kenna, I do like a ham or preferably bacon and pineapple pizza sometimes. Taco style are rarely done well, but if they they're not bad on occasion. Papa Murphy's does a chicken bacon ranch stuffed crust that is pretty good if I tell em not to put the fresh maters on there. They'd be ok if you put them on AFTER it was cooked, but don't like em baking on there. Someday would love to have some true italian pizza, but for now La Roma's is probably about as good as it will get.
I forgot about the tomatoes. I don't like those on there at all.

I made a mean pot of chili yesterday. Crushed tomatos, tomato paste, dry beans. Then added some onions, chili spice, texturized vegetable protein, and hamburger when the beans were nearly done. Gonna eat on it for a few days. My neighbor had a small bowlful, too. He had just gotten back from taking his daughters to Madison for the day.

Make a bowl of chili pie for me, please! It won't be cold enough here for me to want chili for awhile yet!

I wasn't putting down those who care for other versions of pizza......and I love fettuccine alfredo (read....heart attack on a plate) which has always been my favorite dish to order when dining out, but alas.....not here.
I was simply stating my preferences and bemoaning the fact that where I now reside there are NO places that serve authentic foods of any kind. A very trendy sushi place doesn't even use the proper kind of rice and I could go on and on......

Ok. I was just saying idk what the sauce actually is, but alfredo would be good.

when i was 15 or 16, i told my mom to stop making me birthday cakes and instead just stir-fry some snow peas for my birthday. we grew all of our own vegetables back then, but my first taste of snow peas were from somewhere else, and i was smitten.

hey-- it was the 60's :)

that tradition stuck with me for many, many, many, many years. . .

nowadays, i can barely tolerate snow peas



but that German Chocolate cake sounds mighty fine
:)
It's my absolute favorite but Doree doesn't like coconut so the only time I get it is on my birthday. Didn't even get that this year. All I got was a card.

Can't stand Ceaser's or Papa John's or Cici's. Domino's & Pizza Hut for me. But I love anchovies on my pizzas & the only place I can get that now is Village Seafood & Pizza. (i know, but they do both really well!) Once in awhile I'm allowed to get one with half anchovies. The Mom doesn't like them & swears she can taste them on her half & i'm sure the smell leaches into the other side. I think the answer is seperate pizzas! Whoop! Private pizza!
I do believe CiCi's is probably the worst pizza on the planet. Absolutely awful even when it first comes out of the oven. Most pizza is reasonably edible right outta the oven, not CiCi's, tastes like tomato smeared cardboard. :lol:

Ah, the grate peenza debate! Nothin like the local shops. But since I moved... no local shops I've discovered yet that don't suck.

Dunno if Ceasers and little ceasers are on in the same but I do like little ceasers. Used to like domino's til they changed the recipe. Never got that. They were number 2 in the pizza chains. Peenza hut iz one. So they change the recipe. Um... whut? Makes no sense to just add a new "style"? Never liked pizza hut at all. (Hay, we iz all different!)
We only do Domino's for delivery. Pizza Smut screwed up our order one time too many and Doree swore we would never buy from them again. We haven't. Piss Doree off like that and she holds a grudge forever. :lol:

You got that right!! Last year on my bday, son asked where I wanted to go or to do, told him, just come to your house, don't care what we have. But...dil apparently, talked him into taking us all to Cici's. He says to me, it's the only place I could think of that we would all like that was fairly affordable...... uhmmm...I sometimes took you there when you were little cuz you begged me.....but when did you EVER know me to LIKE cici's???? lol At least he was off and I got to see him for a little bit

Ok so I fell.asleep in my chair. I was smoking two packs of roll.your own cigarettes every day at the end of my journey. So I walk into this flea market, looking for a new Zippo actually. The Zippo guy was closed early, so I figured id just walk around. I was ....... I seen a vape sign.... Walked up, started talking, ended up trying a flavor, talked into an ego-t, haven't touched an analog since, that was Nov last year.... Learned a lot of stuff the first month, got into rebuilding and mechs (yes I learned all the safety hazards, ohms, resistance, Amps, before). Then I started in on box mods. So here I am almost a year later with 6 box mods, but my daily setup right now is main: Ipv3li with dark horse RDA, .2 dual coils at 80watts. Backup/driving: Sigelei150 with smok tfv4 tri coil at 75 watts. all max vg 6mg juice always. I'm a custard/dessert fiend.

Have you used the GoPro for other things? If so, what do you think about it and what type do you have? Someone had suggested that to Kay for filming at the Odyssey but don't really know anything about them.
I've had the GoPro 3 for a couple years and really haven't used it that much. The videos have a fisheye effect so I don't think it would be that good for doing videos of the gatherings. I hear the GoPro 4 has eliminated the fisheye effect and is better for videoing events like the upcoming gathering. I used the GoPro 3 for video taping some RC cars. I have the mounts on a couple cars and taped some racing events. Unfortunately, the laptop I had the videos saved on crashed (ironic) and I lost the videos.
