Yeah, I know, these weren't motorcylcle riders, I was, but they were bikers, a gang, and not a benevolent gang. This was the 70's the bunch I ran with were bikers, wore colors, the whole gamut and fought alot...drop of a hat.

One morning when he came into my house to wake me up...outta a dead sleep he shook me, I swung caught him in the jaw (reaction), he decked me (reaction) back out...asleep...

Next time I woke up was a bucket of water thrown on the bed, I looked over at him with ice on his jaw, and him tossing another bag of ice at me for my eye....we were best friends.

We grew apart but both cleaned up over time. I moved across country twenty years ago. When I visited ten years ago, he was drug and alchohol free, a business man running a cabinet shop. Three years ago I saw him, he was a wreck, back on crank, coke and booze....both he and the business were still alive, don't know for how long for either.

Getting the thread back on topic (sorta):

IL, have you tried making pizza again? I have a recipe for a quick sauce you can use on it or on pasta (I'll post it if anybody's interested [:kitty:s are standing by].)

LOL--nope, but the PDG (Pizza Delivery Guy) loves us! His name is Javier. We are thinking of inviting him to the wedding.

Hi,

...and the base would be good too!

17th Angel · 01-17-2007, 09:27 AM

Oh dear,

That is a sorry situation.... To be on name terms with a fast food delivery person.... shame.

InLove · 01-17-2007, 10:17 AM

Javier rocks!

17th Angel · 01-17-2007, 10:22 AM

Well pass my regards to Javier...

I bet you are at the stage of when your number comes up on their caller ID all staff there instantly know who it is?

InLove · 01-17-2007, 11:11 AM

Yup, and it really throws them off when we don't order the usual!

Yeah, and the FBM (Frequent Buyer Miles) coupons come in real handy sometimes, too.

Anyway, for my "quick and easy sauce" recipe:

1 small tin of tomato sauce
1 T. tomato paste
1 t. Italian Seasoning, crushed
1/2 t. lemon thyme, crushed
1 T. butter
Roasted garlic to taste (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste (optional)

Mix together the first four ingredients in a medium saucepan. Heat on medium, stirring frequently until it starts boiling. Remove from the heat and add the butter, stirring gently to incorporate thoroughly. Add the optional ingredients in the first step to blend the flavors in better.

Snoopy: my pizza dough recipe is on Page 1 of the thread (I think.)

Tomato sauce, paste, juice....

Dry tomatoes, onions, green pepper, whatever you like....

Toss it in the blender...run it through a colander/strainer

put all the chunky stuff in mason jars

put all the powder in mason jars...

come winter:

-want paste add some water
-want sauce add more water and some of the chunky stuff
-want juice add more water yet (no chunky stuff)

gave up the old canning methods with boiling the jars and scalding and peeling and deseeding...this is much easier...

I like broccoli, jalepenos and pineapple on my wheatcrust pizza...

Phyllis and Company:

Mmmmm....I can smell it already! Lemon thyme, huh? Sounds beautiful--and come spring, I think I will have a whole new batch of it. But roasted garlic is NOT optional, IMO.

Thank you!

Wil--I love Mason jars. Those Masons just pop up everywhere in life, don't they?

Angel--I think they have our order pre-made sometimes, but it is only Javier who knows that we just might order the salad. He keeps trying to tell them....

Wow. This day has a covering of white stuff. In Texas. Roads are dangerous for us here. Some say we aren't prepared. But we prepare the best we can. As one who has been one with one from up north, I can tell you that he knew there is nothing one can do with this Texas ice. Except hope that it is actually snow. LOL guys--just now taking "the tree" down, so everything you have heard about us down here is true. I am considering leaving the lights up all year.

Must make chili. No wait, gotta make a wedding cake.

InPeace,
InLove

Vaccuum bags/Food saver is awesome!...almost as good as Mason jars (and cheaper)...

InLove · 01-17-2007, 11:22 PM

Hey Josh--yep. Got one of those "Daisy Savers" or whatever they are called. Works pretty good.

But it's just not the same as a good ol' Mason Jar.

This is making me think of my summers as a child. Lightning bugs in a Mason jar. Of course, I was always the one yelling "Free the lightning bugs!" I got a lot of funny looks.

Anyway, I feel warmer now.

Just having fun this afternoon.

InPeace,
InLove

You're welcome, IL.

*a chorus of "Murr rowrowr" from the :kitty: delegation echos through the thread*

If you're using fresh lemon thyme, then you might want to double the amount (I use dried because I don't have access to fresh.) I have both a black thumb and no garden.
