That's a picture of me in my teen years. You should have posted it in the "post your ugly mugs here" thread.

Thanks Pen, I went from hungry to loosing my appetite all in a matter of a few posts

 

[Daniel Koster]

Sorry Fed...

It's like gangrene...

It starts out as a harmless little Bruise...

 

[MauiRob]

Thanks for the laughs Dan!! That's great looking pizza too

It reminded me that I need to try this recipe out!

 

[Federico]

Its like some sort of twisted Benneton add. The Bruises of the world collection

I tried Pen's recipe last night. It's very servicable. The crust was different - almost flaky, like a biscuit. I don't know if that was operator error, or if it's been optimized for digestion.

Anyway, very satisfying. Thanks for the post!

 

[Daniel Koster]

Tohatchi - glad to see you liked it.

I've had it 3 times since posting this recipe and have yet to experience any problems. I'm thinking I'll have another go tomorrow night...

I wonder what the calorie count on this beast is...?

Maybe I'll sit down and figure it out next time.

One thing I have figured out is that this pizza only costs me about $4-5 depending on the toppings and there are always leftovers...

 

[Daniel Koster]

I just got a new pan...

It's huge and amazing.

Here's a pic of it on the stove (making the stove look like a kid's toy):

and here it is compared to a few other cast iron pans I have:

I think it's a 16" diameter.


Already made a deep dish with it...nearly 2.5 inches thick...

Nice pan. Cast iron is wonderful stuff. It's interesting to see the color contrast between the new pan and the well-seasoned ones. Do you use it to cook other things, or is it an exclusive pizza pan? I'm just imagining the huge portions of bacon and eggs you could cook in that thing over a campfire.

[Daniel Koster]

Josh - you've got the right idea...

Next project - giant skillet apple pie

 

[munk]

Where was the pan made?

Them big old cast iron skillets make my stomach rumble lookin' at 'em, just knowing all the good stuff that has been/will be cooked in 'em. I've got a big cast iron skillet with a lid that'll turn butterfly pork loin chops and mushroom gravy into something that'll make your tongue slap your head off.

Only way to go and the blacker the better.
