The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Oh, that's probably exactly it.
But honestly I think the real issue is that my folks haven't still haven't really figured out they can look up basically anything on the internet, and get it more or less right the first time, no "experimenting" necessary.

What you can find on the internet is something that worked for someone else, to their tastes, with their equipment. It'll work, probably, but you'll probably need to figure out how to make it right for your tastes, with your equipment.

That is, of course, not at all the same as botching a recipe as a learning experience.

My folks decided to get creative and try to make pizza on pita the other day.
That experiment did not end well.

Yeah. we tried that once with chapati when I was living in India. It, um...no.

Yeah. Googling a how-to and (this is important!) checking a variety of sources can avoid a lot of missteps. Probably won't come out exactly right or easily the first time, but it's likely to be closer to right than coming at it with no idea at all. Or worse, with some wrong preconceived notions.

I once heard that steppe nomads used to make yogurt by putting milk in a leather skin and riding around for days! Therefore, I shall make yogurt by filling a naugahyde bolster cover with milk and hanging it from the ceiling fan in the sunroom while we go on a ten-day vacation.*​

* Note to future internetters: Just because this statement is on the internet, doesn't mean it's a good idea to try!

Not too sure what the problem, I wasn't in the kitchen at the time and I'm not an experienced pizzateer myself. I'm guessing it's down to oven temperature, or maybe a misapplication of sauce or the relatively wet ingredients (the veggies) used? Whatever the problem, the pizzas came out damp and gummy.

(And correction: it wasn't pita, it was naan.)

Yes, you would want to pre-cook (grill/bake/fry) the toppings beforehand, in order to reduce the water content. Also, pineapple is not recommended due to the high liquid content.

It feels sad that the only three saxophonists that come immediately to my mind (although not necessarily by name) are Cappello (I Still Believe from Lost Boys) , Ravenscroft (Baker Street), and Zoot (Muppets). Googling famous/best Saxophonists and Songs with Saxophone, there are a bunch I had definitely heard of/heard before, but they aren't easily findable in my brain.

Edit: I guess Bleeding Gums Murphy and Lisa Simpson would have been 4 and 5 :-/

How about Junior Walker?

Foreigner Records was one of the cassettes that I played a lot during a chunk of the 80s!

Junior Walker's sax work on that song is pretty epic.

And once you realize a tostada is a flat Mexican pizza, they're all also tuna casserole and croissants (as explained upthread).

They're also all hard for people to eat through rubber masks!
