In Search of…musings for my grandchildren while riding my bike…
In the couple of years of my making pizza and bread, I’ve watched countless YouTube videos. Many are by NYC pizziolas or take place in NYC Pizzerias. Also, I've made about 250 and purchased about 50 from various Pizzerias during this time. But, as I watched, made, and ate more, I started to get a … Continue reading Got the Woolee!
On 4/8, I used my grill top pizza oven for the 1st time. If you recall from my posting at that time, I used Publix dough since I couldn't make my own. Although it was a very good pizza, it was not the elusive "GREAT". I felt that I could do much better with my … Continue reading Grill Top Pizza Oven – #2
Neapolitan Word of the Day Stroontz (Strunze) - From Urban Dictionary - Italian slang for shit head, dummy, stupid. Used in a sentence, "you are a big strunze." I'm a stroontz! Unfortunately, I can routinely act like a stroontz. I don't mean to, but sometimes, just being me is unavoidably "strootz-ish"! If you have any doubts, just ask my … Continue reading It’s Been Awhile, You Stroontz!
This is the first of a few "catch up" posts on pizzas that we've eaten during my writing hiatus. More will follow. We're just finishing our 3rd winter in Sarasota. My GPS (the Great Pizza Search) has continued around our southern home. And although I'd not been posting, I dictate notes while eating for future … Continue reading GPS Spring 22 – Sarasota, FL Pizza – Bite Size Reviews
Piz (pronounced PEETS) is short for a specific pizza that my mother, aunts, and grandmas made around Easter. Piz is one of two different piz (come on…) that we'd have around that time: One piz was savory with eggs, moozadell, parmagian, rigott, pepperoni, preciute with pastry crust on bottom, top, and sides. I'm totally unsure … Continue reading Piz – A Pizza by Any Other Name…
OK, it's time to write something again. I've been really dialing in oven baked pizza (I will provide an article with pics of my progress soon). In the back of my mind, I've wanted to get an outdoor pizza oven like from Ooni or a Gozney Roccbox (gotta' love the name Rocc since it's a … Continue reading Exhaustive (nearly) Pizza Oven Study and 1st Use
It’s been a couple of weeks not riding my bike. I injured something in my back on a ride (GPS #36 - link here). I had tightness in my back in the past but never to this extent. I was fearful of needing surgery, but our son (the doctor...I love saying that!) says it's muscular. … Continue reading Coonjawed, Ralph, Praying, and GPA #5 – Past e’ Fazoo Part 3!
In this post, I will start with Santa Catharina and end with Great Pizza Search #36.At the lowest point of my life, I met Santa Catharina. The luckiest day of my life, she asked me to dance! As they (who’s they?) say, “the rest is history.”Other guys say that they have a saint for a … Continue reading Santa Catharina, More Upstate History, GPS #36!
My last few posts reviewed my bike tour to a couple of Upstate NY Pizza Meccas. Before the tour, I had several undocumented Great Pizza Searches. So, I’ll catch up in this post.But before that, while riding lately, I’ve been thinking about other “70’s V4” songs. if you remember, I defined a “70’s V4” song … Continue reading 70’s V4 Part 2 and GPS #30 – #32!
This was the 3rd and final day of 220 miles of riding with this leg being 80 miles from Utica to Schenectady, NY. Strava Link.This ride would take me through some of the most historic and beautiful parts of Upstate NY. I didn’t even know that until I made that ride! As I think back, … Continue reading Upstate Pizza Mecca Tour – Day 3, GPS #35!
