@Botch thank you for the information. I really appreciate the detailed instructions. When you say "don't dally" I think that was the biggest lesson I took from today. I had the stretched dough sitting on the floured/cornmeal peel for at least 5-10 mins before each launch. I'm gonna try your "stacked" approach next time. I was so caught up in the dough recipe that I was thrown for a loop when actual cook came into play.

Wood peel definitely helps. I also like to move the dough by gentle jerk motion or lifting corners and slightly turning, after each topping, so the dough doesn't get a chance to settle and stick. Just before launching make sure it's not sticking using above technique, I also blow under like @Botch if necessary but that was before the pandemic though

Helped a friend prepare her parents estate for auction today.  Sunny and mid 90's here, to continue for several days, which is unusual this time of year in SE Nebr.  Fair amount of outdoor work, had a nice breeze all-day so not horrible.

At home now, relaxing on patio with my Beagle hounds and a sunset...

It must be nice to have unlimited money. Sadly I will never know.

Some people collect razors and overalls and others collect Porsche’s.

Thanks for the info. I have no Covid worries about blowing under an uncooked pizza dough (if that really works?). I will defiantly try that next time.
This forum is an amazing source of information.

I think 500F will kill Covid germs.

@keener75 yup lift a corner and puff, floats like a hovercraft 😀

Hmm, apparently the "post something funny" thread has been sunk, too.

Yeah I have no clue why that one was sunk.

Sending emails to Bezos. I ordered lawnmower blades for my dad to be shipped to his address. After being stalled in Tennessee for a week, a ton open empty box was delivered an hour or so ago. Amazoid refuses to refund until 48 our after the third party provider receives my email. 
Dad discovered that I can order parts for him cheaper than the John Deere dealer charges.

I avoid Amazon like I do Walmart -- only when absolutely necessary. Ordering directly from manufacturer on bigger ticket stuff is almost always a better deal, even when paying shipping, from my limited experience.

Gulfcoastguy

Well in this case tracking showed me that the package spent an entire week going from one side of Tennessee to another. It was the third party supplier that fell flat, Amazon never touched the merchandise.

Give a pint.

Beef ribs are perhaps my favorite cut.  It will end in a glorious meat como.  Enjoy!

Mine are scheduled to arrive today.  I'm beginning to think that may not happen.  

On another note, country style steak, cream potatoes with gravy and butter beans.  Mrs. B even told me she would clean up tonight. 

edited to add, my neighbors have been day drinking (banana daiquiris) and brought us dessert for the second night in a row.  Fresh blackberry pie.

Celebrating my CT scan of my pancreas results.

Got an all clear after some scary symptons.

"Pretty great looking pancreas" my Dr. says!

Cocktail time. In moderation, of course!

Last of the leftovers from my 1st brisket with overdone sweet potato fries.

Some very nice poke chops seasoned with Dizzy Pig Red Eye Express.

Last day of vacation, surf and turf with good appetizers.  We were hungry and didn’t take a pic until I already ate half my plate. Been a fun week, I’m going to need a good nights sleep to be functional at work and the kids are sure wore out.

Here is my entry to the fried (fresh outta the garden) squash scene.

Along with some warmed up burger chunks. There were also some canned black eye peas

Squash, corn and cheese fritters. They were a winner. Recipe here:

Very nice, @Eggpharmer! Yours look even better than the photo that goes with the linked recipe.
