Our National Pizza Month celebration continues as we cover topping-to-pizza ratio, whether or not to pre-cook toppings, and what it all has to do with Alvin and the Chipmunks. This is Pt. 2 in our pizza series, and that's it for now on the issue. (Here's Pt. 1.) We know we haven't covered it all, but there will be more
October is National Pizza Month(who knew?), so this episode is for the many fans who have begged us for an episode on pizza. Here we cover the basic three ingredients -- crust, sauce, cheese -- as well as techniques like folding, blotting, and silverware usage. Next week in Part 2 we take on toppings!
We tackle old fashioned vs. quick cooking vs. instant, steel cut vs. rolled, sweeteners and additions, and the most outlandish oatmeal creations from our listeners. http://player.wizzard.tv/player/o/i/x/128572641110/config/k-606246fde1bd8def/uuid/root/episode/k-1992b6bc48f9addd.m4v Photo: Flickr CC / thebittenword.com
We debate the merits of toppings in general, as well as the pourables (hot fudge, caramel), the crunchables (sprinkles, candy, nuts), and all the others (whipped cream, cherries, etc). Plus, Mark chides children and Dan explains how time can be considered a seasoning.
How much foam is too much? Bottles or cans? Pint glasses or tulip glasses? Plus we discuss beer-filled guitars and absurd beer packaging gimmicks.
