What three dishes could you live on for the rest of your life?

Three? All I need is pizza. Mmmmmmm, pizza.

I agree.

However, I will go so far as to include 'pizza-like' or 'pizza-esque' dishes, since 'Hawaiian' does not qualify as 'pizza' - it has fruit as a topping (tomatoes, in this instance, count as a vegetable).

[radiant-one.livejournal.com]

Wow, I thought you would have just stopped at cheese. *grin*

[kmusser]

Sometimes it's useful to have a platform for the cheese :-)

[radiant-one.livejournal.com]

Fingers don't work?

Had to edit, uploaded a new cheese icon.

[ninjaslug.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

But real pizza. Not like what they've got around here.

*ducks*

I lucked out in that there is a decent pizza place in Brunswick, I never did find a good one in Silver Spring.

Pizza's a good choice, since you can get all four food groups on it. (Especially if you're not limiting yourself to a single type of pizza, but pizza as a class.)

[acroyear70.livejournal.com]

steak, fries, and beer.

not that it would be a terribly long life with that much cholesterol, of course...

[sethcohen.livejournal.com]

With or without pepperoni?

[kmusser]

I reserve the right to have multiple kinds of pizza ;-)

[sethcohen.livejournal.com]

Do you still hold that pepperoni isn't meat?

[kmusser]

Of course pepperoni isn't meat. *grin*

[sethcohen.livejournal.com]

Just checking to make sure that all is well in Karlland.

[allah-sulu.livejournal.com]

Can I specifies "sandwiches" as a single dish? Or "salad"?

[kmusser]

Sure. Except for taco salad, I'm not sure what that is, but it's definitely not a salad

[allah-sulu.livejournal.com]

Well then, pizza, sandwiches, and salad as three of my "dishes" would give me a very wide variety of options. I'm not sure what to choose for the fourth option yet.

[radiant-one.livejournal.com]

Green vegetables, other colored vegetables, cheese (!), meat, in a "bowl"... how is that NOT salad?

[kmusser]

In my mind for it to be a salad the primary ingredient should be a green leafy vegetable of some sort - of which there is a distinct lack of in most taco salads (a sprig of parsley on the top doesn't cut it).

[radiant-one.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I (the almost vegetarian) is arguing in favor of a salad who's featured ingredient is MEAT. To argue the image you selected, it even contains avocado (not a meat).

[cosmolinguist]

You should see some of my mom's salads. Jello and marshmallows were just the beginning! Several these days feature whipped cream. There's one called Oreo Salad.

But it does make a great commercial:

*pouts*
*can't eat pizza anymore*

zammis shares your pain. She's still plotting on how to make a gluten-free pizza.

[allah-sulu.livejournal.com]

When Jim and I were on Atkins, I made pizza without crust. I also made pizza with a crust made out of meat.

For the former - you know how, when you peel the cheese off of pizza, all of the toppings and some of the sauce come with it? That's what you make, upside-down. Put a layer of pepperoni slices, as close together as possible, in a pan. On top of that, slices of provolone cheese. On top of that, a thin layer of sauce, and whatever spices and other toppings you want; with an optional layer of cheese on top of that (if you have a lot of toppings to hold together). Bake it to melt the cheese, then peel if off of the pan and eat.

For that later - the crust is basically flat meatloaf. Mix ground beef with with an egg or two (to make it hold together) and Italian seasonings (including, but not limited to, garlic and oregano), press it in a thin, flat layer, and bake until brown. Drain the grease, add the sauce, cheese, and other toppings, and bake again until the cheese is melted.

[zammis.livejournal.com]

that is dangerous.

[radiant-one.livejournal.com]

I was wondering how much a cheese crust would hold. I make Parmesan crisps (shredded Parmesan cheese, dropped in small cracker sized mounds and baked in the oven).

I've not tried or needed to make them larger. Obviously this couldn't get too large but if it could be made to the size of a saucer, how much toppings could it hold? Or even if it is possible to "re-bake" them with toppings.

Thinking of a meatless or meat minimal method. This is something to ponder!

[allah-sulu.livejournal.com]

I was wondering how much a cheese crust would hold.

Experiment. It'll be fun to find out!

(Depends on the type and thickness of the cheese...)

[radiant-one.livejournal.com]

Vodka God??!?! why don't I know you! *giggle*

It will be fun to find out and I'll report the findings. Annoying part is I just finished a huge block of hard Italian cheese and moved on to feta.

[allah-sulu.livejournal.com]

I used overlapping slices of provolone when I did it, if that helps.

If you're a Maryland geek and friend of Karl, it's possible we've run into (or past) each other at one point or another

[radiant-one.livejournal.com]

I'm from Maryland. I date geeks (although my iBook G4 gives me some credentials). And yes I'm a friend of Karl's. But don't think I've encountered the Vodka God. Would be good to run into a god of vodka when I'm in my other persona as Goddess of Chocolate though.

[allah-sulu.livejournal.com]

Then you would love chocolate vodka.

[radiant-one.livejournal.com]

I think my feet went numb.

Gluten Free Pizza dough found here:

[zammis.livejournal.com]

sadly, these mixes tend to use rice, which is also not friendly to yours truly.

and bean flour just doesn't work for this purpose- its more of a quick breads thing, and doesn't adapt as well to yeast in my experience.
