I live much too far out to get pizza delivery, so we have to cook our own. Has anyone else noticed the efficacy of an AirBake nonstick pan? They actually seem to work fairly well and eliminate most of the problems of cooking a pizza in your own oven. My oven works off propane with a convection fan (Samsung model, integrated with range).
I just use a normal pan with some aluminium foil on top of it for easy cleaning.

I could never find a pan large enough, and if you're going to buy a custom pizza pan, it's worth it to get something that is a real benefit, at least to me (we have a hestia of four adults, so meals can be rather large).

I cook more smallish pizzas. Unless I'm cooking for my family, in which case I just use several pans at once.

Fair, fair. The newer flatbread crusts, or the kind of classic Greek Pizza House style?

Came home from work last night and enjoyed the old tradition of "whatever is in the fridge"

In this case, a sesame seed bread role with tuna, cheese and a meat pie on the side.

Awfully bad of me to hardly post in a thread I started! lol.

from the kitchen of Kobold, a lovely steam-poached flank of salmon with dill and lemon and a simple twist pasta with a pan made spicy puttanesca anchovy sauce, we had with a Portuguese red that's dry as dust.

That looks so delicious @Kobold
It was, thank you.
Fish with a pasta is pretty much a 5 day a week thing here, and I have to make it 'healthy', so light on the fats like butter or olive oil, so poached salmon is the best bet, doesn't take any oil or butter to do and can be done with lemons or capers or pearl onions, topped with hollandaise or even some black caviar, my food is one of the things I don't cheap out on.
If I don't do a pasta, I might do a pan braised endive with pine nuts or a simple risotto.

Wife turned Sapporo brand instant ramen fancy with ground seasoned pork, marinated soft boiled egg, green onions, naruto and bock choy. Absolutely fantastic.

Sounds absolutely tasty. So how would you go about doing that? I guess you prepare everything else first and then make the Ramen?

Eggs are soft boiled and sit for a few hours at least. And yeah, you basically make everything then just add it to the ramen. She's a fantastic cook, complementarianism is heavenly.

I have tried something even more basic, and made it into a vegetable soup before. Did taste decent. So would I have to boil some of the veggies in the water first? And then remove them, and add the noodles?

We've made this at work, more than once:



There's approximately one heart attack in every single bite. And by the time the bacon bowl on the outside has crisped up, the potatoes always turn out a little hard and undercooked, in my opinion. Still delicious.

Another thing my watch partner likes to make is pulled pork done in a crock pot in pineapple juice, and then placed on a bed of rice with a kind of homemade sweet and sour sauce drizzled over it. Just look up various Hawaiian Pulled Pork recipes and you'll find something similar. It's very good.

He also likes making Dutch baby pancakes with homemade strawberry sauce and powdered sugar (the sauce itself is just a reduction of strawberries and granulated sugar). If you can find good, locally-grown strawberries, the sauce will be absolutely fantastic.

Speaking of wines, what sort of wines do you like? Would you be interested in atypical wines that have a strong regional basis?

High-altitude Malbecs, Garnacha from Spain, the surviving Chilean carménère, and in whites only really Vinho Verde. If I just want to drink I will get a classic Claret blend in the old style.

Wine? Dry, doesn't matter if it's red or white, I keep a stock of dry Riesling and Gewuerztraminer and some d'Oro Portuguese and Augey Bordeaux reds on hand. I think I also have some California Pinot that's gathering dust... of course I have wines that were bottled back in the 90's. Hate to say it quite like this, but I drink based on price, like I won't pay more than $50 for any wine, and usually much less than that, so I check what's good in that price point.

The female here enjoys her sweet cheap and fruity Rose wines. (which can be had for $7 at the convenience store) :rolleyes:
