I didn't even use hot tap water. I poured it from my Brita pitcher.

Where are the meatballs?
Buried in the marinara. They were small and I only had two.Where are the meatballs?
Last night I made sweet and sour grilled chicken.

I based it off the margherita pizza from my favorite brick oven place. No sauce, just olive oil with the tomatoes and basil covered in fresh mozzarella. I drizzled the balsamic on the tomatoes for extra flavor.
You honestly don't notice the lack of sauce as the tomatoes roast with the olive oil and soften while releasing their juices. The tomato flesh becomes almost sauce-like and the juices and oils all intermingle.
Warning: Rant ahead. TL;DR what we normally call pizza sucks.
I honestly believe the common pizza in the US has become more about generic extravagance than quality. That's not to say I don't enjoy the occasional pepperoni, but there are far better toppings and styles than you will find at Little Papa Dominos Hut. I prefer fresh mozzarella. I like creativity. Give me meatballs and onions or black beans and cilantro. Why is it nearly impossible to find sun-dried tomatoes?
The fact is, when you have to stuff your crust, coat it in salt, or offer dipping sauce with it you have an issue. If I buy chain pizza it is often Little Caesar. I can get a one topping for $5. That's what they are all worth in my mind. Good pizza does not come from oil-soaked, salty pies that literally get made on a conveyor belt. They were great for my childhood birthday parties and in college, but I'm an adult now.
The first time a small, local place opened near me I didn't go because of the price. Once someone convinced me to go I always wanted to go there over anywhere else.
I'd eat them anyway!
I ignored the plate for the sake of the joke.Besides, the white plate will give you the answer.
This is funny to see after reading the 'Routines' thread. Just went out and bought some steak and some seasonings today.
This is the best wine for the money. It's magnificent. Perfect steak wine.
Since I made this:
Well, that's just the part I portioned into pre-made meals. It was too delicious to think about taking a picture. Disappeared quickly. Can't beat sirloin cap with smashed potatoes and haricots verts.
