My *only* yard is the front yard. When I mow it I use a perfectly nice relic Black & Decker plug-in electric mower. Dennis refuses to "mess
with all of that cord" and went out and bought a 24" seflf-propelled
gas mower. I laugh every time he has trouble starting it. Bv)=

Steve had a laugh over that, reading over my shoulder. We were
responsible for a space maybe 5'by 15'to the one side of our quarters
in Savannah. Steve bought an electric mower, don't remember if it moved
to NC with us or not (if so, it didn't last long). We use a yard
service now as we have .28/acre--not really enough to get a riding
mower for and the service gets it done fast. Also nice to have the yard looking well kept when we're travelling; we don't come home to a
jungle. (G)

When I lived in the tin can I had an even tinier yard and a battry powered mower. Then the battery died and I got "sticker shock". A replacement
battery would have cost more than I paid for the mower. So, my late friend, Les, brouht me the Black & Decker electric that his mother had used on
her yard.

the local news papers. Pizza Hut, Dominos and Little Caesar can
suck wind. Bv)-

Same with Godfather's and Papa John's. (G)

My local Godfather's are both AYCE buffets on their dine-in side.

Last time we were at a Godfather's was when we were in Savannah. Pizza
was meh but service was lousy so we've never gone back to one.

Never been to a Godfather's that offered reulae sit-down table service.
My locals are both on the "Quick-Serve" plan like Freddy's or Panera
Bread. Order at the counter and someone will trot it out to you at your
table.

Do you have a Papa Murphy's Take & Bake where you are? I'll sometimes
take one of their pretty basic offerings and tart it up with my own
mix of toppings and additional sauce.

We do, but they don't offer a whole wheat crust option which is our preferred crust.

If you ever run across a Pizza Ranch in your travels leave the pizza
on the buffet. The other offering are decent for buffetr food. But,
their pizza is worse than Pizza Hut's ... and that's hard to do.

Thanks for the warning. (G)

Casey's also do pretty decent grab-and-go breakfast sandwiches, too.

Saw a Google listing today of top 10 places that sell both gas and groceries, Casey's was #5, Hy-Vee was #8.

Oooooooo-kay. Casey's is a gas station with food. Hy-Vee is a grocery store with gas pumps.

Casey's has their own discount. And thery are affiliated with Hy-Vee's cash back program. Both companies are headquartered in the same town (Ankeny, IA)

So, a win/win deal for you but not as lucrative for us as we only pass thru the area maybe every couple of years.

50c/gallon off I let my room-mate use my Hy-Vee perks. Bv)=

Also my niece, Robin gets in on the largesse. She brings me supper
from time to time.

I have better luck finding the ingredients for this in the store than
I do with the whole wheat pizza schtick.

Title: Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Categories: Vegetables, Cheese, Pork, Herbs, Chilies
Yield: 2 Servings

Michael made one of those at the picnic at Boyd's Pond in 2015; IIRC,
we had a storebought one also. Neither of them were that great but the storebought was actually better. Probably because they knew what to do; Michael's was an improv of this and that.

Michael was an amazing "wing-it" chef. Never ceased to amaze me.

Title: Easy Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Categories: Bread
Yield: 2 crusts (11")

1 c Water; heated to 110ºF/43ºC
1 tb Extra virgin olive oil
1 tb Honey or sugar
2 1/4 ts Rapid-rise or instant yeast
2 3/4 c (345 g) whole wheat flour
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
1 ts Fine salt

MMMMM-------------------------TOPPINGS-------------------------------
1 c Pizza sauce
+=OR=+
32 oz Can whole tomatoes; drained,
- crushed by hand
3 c Shredded low-moisture
- mozzarella cheese
Add'l toppings; as desired

Set oven @ 500ºF/260ºC with a rack in the upper third of
the oven.

Whisk water, oil, honey and yeast in a liquid measuring
cup or small bowl. Allow yeast to proof for 5 minutes.
It should puff up some by then.

Pulse flour, Parmesan, and salt in food processor until
combined. While running the food processor, slowly pour
in the water mixture and process until a shaggy ball
forms, about 1 minute.

Dump the dough onto a floured work surface and quickly
knead dough a few times until it comes together. Halve
the dough.

On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll dough
into two rounds about 11 inches in diameter. For best
results, roll the dough out about as thin as reasonably
possible. Aim for even thickness rather than a perfectly
round shape.

Carefully lift and transfer one of the rounds onto a
baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the outer
1" of the dough with a light coating of olive oil. Add
half of the pizza sauce or crushed tomatoes (crush the
tomatoes over the sink to get out as much liquid as
possible). Sprinkle with half of the cheese and any
other toppings you’d like to add.

Bake on the top rack until the crust and cheese are
lightly golden, about 10 minutes for cheese pizza and 12
minutes for pizza with additional toppings. Repeat with
the remaining dough, then slice and serve. Leftover
pizza will keep well in the refrigerator for about 4
days.

Recipe adapted from The Fauxmartha’s no-rise pizza crust
and Cook’s Country’s quick grilled pizza dough.

Hi Dave,

Sounds like a good deal to me. We've got a good sized front/side yard
and a small back yard. Town of WF has claimed an easement in the back
for a proposed greenway but that's been on their books since the late
80s. We've got a small herb garden up against the fence but have not
tried growing more than that in some years.

Last time we were at a Godfather's was when we were in Savannah. Pizza
was meh but service was lousy so we've never gone back to one.

Never been to a Godfather's that offered reulae sit-down table
service. My locals are both on the "Quick-Serve" plan like Freddy's or Panera

We don't go out for pizza, know that we can make a much better one at
home.

mix of toppings and additional sauce.

I know; I miss him and some of the other folks who used to be here. When
we're in western NY, we very often try to go to Taste of Japan, the
sushi place Nancy and Richard introduced us to. We introduced Steve's
brother & wife, one sister and her husband to it this spring. We stayed
after the others had left, catching up with the owner and his wife.
