Good evening. Nothing exciting going on. I’m thinking about what I want to have for dinner.

Something good.

I took the wife earlier to get shoes to go with her dress and was really hungry when I got home so just warmed up some goulash.

Thank you, these did turn out pretty good
I took a break from making pizza for a while as my early results with our "new" oven weren't as good as I had with our old one.
I guess it just took a while for me to get used to the newer one.

Glad you're getting used to it.

What kind do you have? We have a Samsung double oven and it won’t crisp a pizza crust to save its life.

Ours is a lower end GE electric. It goes up to 550°F.
I do use baking tiles which are the same material as most pizza stones.
I have a couple of stones as well but can make a little bit bigger pizza with the tiles.
I set it to 510° for yesterday's bake and the bottoms came out well,

I didn't time the bakes because this oven takes longer to achieve similar results to the old one. (not just with pizza)
My early tries had trouble getting a good brown on the bottom so I gave up timing them and just go by visual progress.

I have been having better results with all my baking more recently so maybe the heating elements needed to break in - not sure if that is a thing but it's all I can come up with.

So, her present will be that she doesn't have to clean up?

I discovered something new about concentrated nic last night.

I don't normally worry about 100mg nic. Just do what I have to do, keep it away from my eyes, then wash my hands when I'm finished. Yesterday I had a small graze on my thumb, from using a cheese grater. I got some nic on the grazed area and it fired up a really sharp burning pain there. Even washing it didn't help much. Faded away after a while. Guess the answer is to use a plaster on any breaks in the skin.

Her gifts were sent to SD since she didn't want to bring them all home.

Our old cheap builders grade stove did fine. The one we have now is a convection type. It has a regular bake option on the bottom oven but it doesn’t crisp any better. I saw that cuisanart and solo have some pizza ovens on the market but I don’t need another small appliance to store. My pellet grill actually cooks pizza fairly well.
