Lou Malnati’s leftovers reheated on the grill

OMG...jeez, are you running a restaurant?? What does your son drink? 4 kinds of cow milk?? Wow, waaaayyy too many choices for a place that isn't a restaurant. Drink what's there or drink water...from the door, not extra bottles in the fridge. No wonder you don't have any room for real food. SMH

That is how I heat up pizza too...excellent.

4 cow milks - chocolate (child), Fairlight (spouse), whole (me - baking), 2% (child)
the only water in the fridge is purchased (Hint / LaCroix / Topo Chico) or sparkling. Although the filtered water could also be considered purchased Lol

we have a lot of fun! How else to justify the many ice cube trays, all paid with points.

thanks to airline devaluation, my 225k UAL points would only get us 3 one-way domestic tickets. I would seriously convert them to amazon points if possible except that it isn’t possible. Sigh. There was a time that 225k was worth a bit more than 3 one-ways! Even in 2018 we only needed 50k for one-ways!

i have a tart pan for making quiche - May I use it for making deep dish pizza??? I love Lou’s and have thought about mail order but I’m wondering if I could just make it!

i am not sure a tart/quiche pan is deep enough. I think i would try a 8 or 9 inch round cake pan. It wont be as easy to get out without a removable bottom . Maybe a springform pan?.

OMG I am going to make this tomorrow.

I’m thinking deep cast iron skillet. Would be good for deep but solid crust.

yes...good idea. I think most 8 or 9" ones are about 2" deep. :tu:

genius! It won’t be big but very fun. I’ll have to make some pasta on the side.

You can make it as big as you want. I am not sure I would go bigger than 10' though as it will be hard to get the center cooked since it is so dense. Here's a better idea....have a salad on the side. A nice big, healthy, leafy green salad with some fiber and nutrients. :idea:

This. Four kinds of cow milk??? Two kinds of oat milk?
Here's a tip... You don't need to buy chocolate milk. You can make your own and it's fun too! There are very few cases where one needs whole milk for baking, and in those cases, you can get away with a very small amount.

Disappointing baked ziti and a second rate Italian restaurant. I like a lot of aspects of living in NC but I really miss good Italian food (I used to live in New York).

chicken curry with carrots / potatoes over rice for luncheon. Like last week, I enjoyed it so much that I’ll have intentional leftovers for supper. I’ll grill turkey burgers for my spouse’s supper.

there’s gotta be better places in Raleigh / Durham / CH. I ate so well when we went there in October 2018! We went to several restaurants including a great pizzeria that was semi-walking from The Aloft, if that’s the hotel near the performing arts center. Happy dining!

I'll send you a good baked ziti recipe.

Ice cream is still on sale so I bought more ice cream flavors today. I finished off the Lotus (Biscoff) salted caramel, offset by Haagen daaz mango ice cream (not sorbet). Very delicious. I’m a sucker for these sales, esp $2.50 for a 14-Oz unit. Too many flavors so these smaller units are very welcome.

gaobest...all of these sales are cyclical . All of them. If you miss a sale on chicken or grapes or steaks or ice cream, it will be back in a couple weeks or on sale at a different store next week. There is absolutely no reason to stock up.
