When I left my job in St. Louis to go work in Seattle we drove through Wyoming. I tried to get my wife to eat some of those delicious oysters in a Wyoming restauraunt. Now, she's usually really gullible but she smelled a rat and no fun was had
My girlfriend made us a pizza tonight. No, not one of those frozen ones. Fresh dough, in a cast iron skillet. Half with a pesto sauce, half with a homemade vodka sauce. 4 quadrants of toppings. Had an ice cold beer with it! We are both lucky, Lanny.
Love a good pizza but they are almost impossible to find these days. I've had the best luck with a doctored up Papa Murphy's that I take home to bake. I add extra ingredients plus some more mozzarella and romano and parmesan and provolone and pepperoni and black olive and mushrooms and homemade with no seeds red pepper. Yikes, I love it. And, like you, I like a really ice cold beer with my hot pizza. My favorite beer with that is a Chinese Tsing Tao which I stick in the freezer until it's just about one degree above freezing (33 degrees for the math challenged). Try that with a Blazer game. My wife and I used to like a skinny crust pizza at Round Table because we like NY style but you can't get that at Round Table any more. While we're on the subject of having a wonderful woman love us, what is it that woman find adoring in men? It really beats the hell out of me and being a religious man I attribute it to God's miracles.
Children should never be seen or heard from . . . ever again. Oh, and children are not tough if you par boil them first.
The dough/crust is the most important part of any pizza, in my opinion. That is what a pizza is built on. I like a thin crispy crust. Almost cracker like. Round table crust is a good place to start.
You must not be looking hard. Portland is widely recognized these days as a great pizza town. Wood fired delicious pizzas wherever you look. My personal favorites are Apizza Scholls and Escape from NY.
Literally my favorite part of Portland these days is the food. It's one of the better food towns in the US that I've been too, and there is a lot of diversity, good Pizza, Sushi, Indian, Jewish, etc. Very good food to be had.
Was a good place to start. We loved the Round table in Lake Oswego only 3 miles from our house but they got rid of their thinnest crust. Now, all we have is Papa Murphy's doctored up pizza and my wife doesn't like that. Also, with a pizza cooked at home, while it's got it's advantages, it lacks the social experience that you get when going out.
You don't know good food until you go to St. Louis, San Francisco or New York. For really great Korean food you need to go to Chicago, Seattle, LA or Korea. We have had good food in Tacoma at the Lakewood exit but it's hit or miss. We also ate fabulous buffet Korean food in Bellevue and West Virginia near Washington D.C. Still think about those two places. Of course, this just applies to those few of us who know and appreciate Korean food.
Escape from New York is one of my favorites, as well but it's super casual and not many places to sit down. I think I recall two maybe three tables and a few bar stools. The problem with them is that they don't have quite the same thin crust as I've had in NY and New Jersey as well as parts of St. Louis. There is a wood fired pizza joint in the Scholl's area near the movie theater that we sort of liked but it just wasn't quite the same thin crust. We've also gone to MOD's pizza in Lake Oswego but although we love the toppings we aren't crazy about the crust and their beer selection is God awful.
Now I know what place you're talking about. My occupational therapist is from Brooklyn and told me about Apizza Scholls being the best pizza he's found in Portland including Escape from NY which he says is not quite as good.
CNN's Chris Cillizza mocked for telling Trump viruses 'don't, uh, recognize borders' By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News CNN editor-at-large Chris Cillizza was widely mocked on social media on Monday while attempting to mock President Trump for his vocal stance on borders amid the coronavirus pandemic. President Trump has long supported strengthening the southern border between the U.S. and Mexico, but as the coronavirus continues to spread worldwide, there has been a renewed call to increase border security to crack down on the transmission of the virus on top of the travel ban he had set against China as well as the majority of Europe. On Monday morning, Trump touted his support for strong borders on social media. "THIS IS WHY WE NEED BORDERS!" Trump exclaimed. CNN'S JAKE TAPPER UNDER FIRE AFTER ADMITTING HE DIDN'T FACT-CHECK AOC ON TRUMP-CORONAVIRUS CLAIM Cillizza responded to what the thought was a witty response. "Viruses don't, uh, recognize borders," Cillizza told the president. Critics ridiculed the outspoken CNN commentator for the tweet. "How do you think viruses cross borders, Chris?" Human Events managing editor Ian Miles Cheong asked. "Cillizza’s hot take is 'viruses don’t recognize borders' as countries around the world are temporarily closing their borders," Daily Caller social media manager Logan Hall said. "Viruses, uh, are transmitted by human beings," Washington Examiner reporter Jerry Dunleavy told Cillizza. "The curve of media intelligence has been flattened," comedian Dave Cooperman quipped. "Cillizza thinks that this is a good point? People who carry viruses do, however, respond to checkpoints and border security," RealClearInvestigations senior writer Mark Hemingway reacted. Even Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas., knocked the liberal pundit's tweet. "So was it good or bad that the US halted flights in and out of China?" Cruz asked.
Yes, viruses don't respect borders whether secured or not. However, now here's the hilarioud irony, Central and South America have less Covid19 coronavirus than we do so maybe they should close their borders to us. We are now no. 2 or 3 in the infected population count and headed for no. 1. Your Trump is a huge failure in saving American lives.
