    I'm the worst pizza cook on the forum but what the heck. I'm in brother husker.

    Question. My daughter is coming home Thrusday, can she make the dough or is that cheating? I will be the one to egg it.

    The wife and I are in.  Going to try to make a traditional pie and apple pie calzone.  Let's hope they turn out, and  definitely going to try to take better photos this time.

    what about using super-secret dough recipes that are probably almost as good as the two best pizza places in town, but not quite, but still too good to share with family?

    guinness draught is similar to bud light in calories and its also not high in alcohol. my problem is different, a guinness sitting is maybe 18 of them =)

    Okay.  Thanks.  I am going to be cooking an SRF Gold Brisket for company on Monday.  Too late for the throw-down but I think I'm going to try a left over pizza maybe Wednesday or Thursday - ish.  I'll try to post then.

    @NPHuskerFL is it limited to a single pizza or could we have more than one pizza in our entry?
