OPEN THREAD POLL: What are your FAVORITE pizza toppings?
It’s his affirmative action correspondence and discussion file at the Reagan library in California. The WaPo wrote about its disappearance today.
I posted more about the mystery in the ‘recent diaries’ here – and also at the dailykos link above.
Just disappeared. Convenient?
Oops. Well, they’ll find it. Don’t worry!
Good project, providing pizza and other needs from afar.
Also, I found an entry (just a tiny bit late) for the weird headline thingy – on CNN
“Cures for humans in crocodile blood?”
I didn’t read the story, so I have no idea what the humans are doing in the crocodile blood, or what they need to be cured from (besides circulating throughout a crocodile’s bloodstream)…
See the movie Fantastic Voyage.
Thanks! I was trying to remember the name of that movie… I was thinking Andromeda Strain (or something like that) but that didn’t seem right.
Good call… same author did both books. Michael Crichton, in his early days.
but pineapple and canadian bacon is good on the deep dish pizzas.
Cant believe I forgot that one … it’s very good.
P.S. Last Friday’s Morning Sedition featured the author of a new book about the best pizzas anywhere … he said he found the best one at some place in Arizona.
Make mine mushroom. But not magic ones. 😉
Pepperoni, sausage, peppers and onions, mushrooms, pineapple and ham and chicken. Though not necessarily in that order.
I have to say I love Buffalo Chicken Pizza… With jalapeños and onions… Not good for dates of course, but quite tasty…
Most people think I’m crazy though–
Which also makes me think, what’s gonna’ stop republican activists from sending too many orders for no sauce pizza or extra anchovies? =(
Simple cheese/pepperoni except I take most of the pepperoni off as I just like the flavor of the pepperoni or a veggie pizza. Don’t like a lot of stuff all at once piled on. Although my favorite pizza hands down is from the Olive Garden-the chicken al fredo pizza…yummy.
Olive oil, goat cheese, bacon, red onion and green pepper is my fave.
Buffalo chicken is a close second, though.
Okay, so I have the ‘net radio on and I just glance over at my TV. Who is on MSNBC but Natalie Holloway’s mother …
I wonder if anyone has attempted to add up the number of hours that that woman has been on TV.
I feel terribly for her — and one has to admire her stubborn determination. But, gosh, it seems so likely that this may not be solved.
And we do have so many issues in the world… over 100 people just died in a boat accident … a couple hundred in plane accidents … how many soldiers this week? … 48 Iraqi civilians … and on and on.
Anderson Cooper called the coverage of Natalie Holloway ‘downright ridiculous’ on his show and said unless there was a new development he’d let the other people continue to cover the story that has no news value as far as anything new being said. Nice to know at least one media person actually came out and said this on his show. And then showed clips of the other networks all talking about the case while saying nothing important to add to anyone’s knowledge of the case. Pretty cool.
It’s very disheartening.
I’d guess, roughly, that Natalie’s mother has been on shows at least 5 hours per week X however many times shows are reaired. For how many weeks? 6 or 7? So, somewhere around 90 or more hours.

Pepperoni or bacon (not both), mushrooms, green pepper, sun-dried tomatoes.
I sometimes think we have TMI– how much can we process daily?We don’t watch the tube so I don’t see all that stuff,but it’s no wonder people get fatigued.
One day back in the Paleolithic 80’s,I called the San Diego editor of the LA Times,outraged because an editorial by Joe Klein had been edited and I thought it had been edited for meaning.He referred me to the LA editor,(supposedly a ‘secret # that he’ wasn’t supposed to give out’).The guy in LA was very gratified that someone was paying attention.We had a long conversation about news junkies. He seemed kinda lonely, ,and I thought at the time, ‘Well they must get lonesome spitting out info and getting little real response’.
Now the net is so full of info- and feedback, it can’t be easy.
Sometimes I have wondered if the guy I talked to was MB-wouldn’t that be a kick?
Sun-dried tomatoes and pesto. Well, not really my most faves, but the combination just jumped out at me.
Feta’s good, too. And olives.
However, having recently found out that I’m gluten intolerant, it means no more wheat, which means . . . no more pizza! Sob!
Anyone know if you can make pizza using polenta as a base?
and this was the first link that popped up:
Wheat Free and Gluten Free Pizza Crust
This crispy pizza crust tastes so delicious that your guests won’t know it’s wheat and gluten-free. You can hold a slice in your hand and it won’t crumble! You may also shape the dough into four individual pizzas.
1 tablespoon gluten-free dry yeast
2/3 cup brown rice flour or bean flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
2 tablespoons dry milk powder or non-dairy milk powder*
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
2/3 cup warm water (105 degrees)
1/2 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
cooking spray
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In medium bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks), blend the yeast, flours, dry milk powder, xanthan gum, salt, gelatin powder, and Italian herb seasoning on low speed. Add warm water, sugar (or honey), olive oil, and vinegar. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. (If the mixer bounces around the bowl, the dough is too stiff. Add water if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, until dough does not resist beaters.) The dough will resemble soft bread dough. (You may also mix in bread machine on dough setting.)
Put mixture into 12-inch pizza pan or on baking sheet (for thin, crispy crust), 11 x 7-inch pan (for deep dish version) that has been coated with cooking spray. Liberally sprinkle rice flour onto dough, then press dough into pan, continuing to sprinkle dough with flour to prevent sticking to your hands. Make edges thicker to contain the toppings.
Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread pizza crust with your favorite sauce and toppings. Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until top is nicely browned.
Preparation = 45 minutes. Serves 6.

There were a bunch of other links too, some for commercial products — you might want to do your own Google…
Wow, thanks, Cali.
Didn’t expect anyone to look it up; more a rhetorical question, I guess. But it looks like a do-able recipe, so I will print it out, see what happens. Going to do my first experiments with making gluten-free bread in the next couple of days. With luck, I’ll get something eatable rather than a doorstop.
This is Goldie, one of the kittens Darcy has raised, along with their mom, in her kitchen and pantry since they were two days old. They’re now about 8 weeks old. They go to the shelter for adoptions on Friday.
I saw the picture… And for a second I thought you were going to put it on a pizza…
noooooo …isn’t Goldie cute. She has a little orange teardrop below her eye.
This is how my buddy luna rolls =)
My local favorite is “Hawaiianza” it has pineapple and barbecued chicken… very tasty.
What with the FBC food talk and all this… I’m going to have to add a pantry and an oven to the computer room…
