    20 Years

    ... ago today, I registered here. Coincidentally, over the past weekend, I was at the same hardware store I bought my WSM back then, For $180 new. They had a lot of high end Weber stuff on the floor, but no WSMs. :( I guess Home Depot and Lowe's stocking them is probably the reason why not.

    Doug's Revised WWW Pizza Dough

    WWW = Whole White Wheat I had come up with a WWW dough that I thought was pretty good a couple years ago, but over time, it has proven a bit fickle. Not in the taste, but in the handling. Even after following my pizza waiter's suggestion to make it up 24 hours in advance and do a slow ferment...

    Garlic & Herb Artichoke Salad

    Mrs. D, shortly after being served a dinner salad recently at a nearby cafe, was brought a small bowl of what we both at first thought was a cup of the soup du jour I had ordered that she had not.

    Quick Pickled Okra

    I grew more cucumbers than I could use this year, and ended up trading some to the local organic nursery for some okra. I tried a couple of quick pickling recipes-- not interested in full-blown canning-- and this one, adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe, was the best. Here's the (slightly...

    White Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

    We make and take this dough to our regular Friday night pizza joint-- they do a hand-thrown, thin-crust style. No reason to give up tradition for the sake of low-carb, and the whole grain flavor makes the crust a part of the pizza, rather than just a delivery mechanism. This makes a thin crust...

    If you were stranded on a desert island...

    If you were stranded on a desert island... and were limited to one pit, one fuel, one smokewood, one meat, one sauce, and one sidedish to go with it (OK, two), what would each be? And you don't have to say why unless you really want to-- I'm just curious what your personal favorites are.
