Im down, those cigs look delicious lol!





Oh no don't get me wrong I understand the hunt for the perfect pie. In my coffee and my pizza and well everything we value the new & different. My coffee blends are fleeting as I purchase 1 # sometimes 2 # of a variety and blend it with another similar random beans. Most of the blends have great depth and different subsets of flavors - it is new every day even every minute as the cup cools down. So I don't have a holy grail standard that I hold each blend to. Rather I seek the unexpected.View attachment 1723695
@Mañ'O'Green, while you were probably going for brevity, I would call it anything but boring! Like weed, you wanna smoke schwag or the good shit!
Personal opinion, but I wouldn't call Neapolitan thin crust.. Thinner, maybe a bit compared to what most people in the US are accustomed to.. It's definitely not Chicago or Detroit, but most people in the US think thin crust is is more cracker/crunchy type. Would say a little more thin than NY style with a fluffier more airy crust.
What you described is a Margherita pizza. While that's THE "classic" Neapolitan, it's just one set of toppings. Even though Italians and purists usually limit pizzas to 3ish toppings, like any style of pizza, you can put whatever you want on it. The Margherita is one of the most complicated to master as well. With just three ingredients plus the dough, there is nothing to hide any flaws so the technique and quality of ingredients must be top notch. The sauce just crushed San Marzano tomatoes, salt, and sometimes basil so you get the true taste and the quality of the tomato. Most American pizza sauces have tomato paste and seasonings
Like your coffee analogy, you can take it to whatever level you want. If you can't tell the difference, that's fine and there's little caesars and dominoes....An analogy I used here the other week with ice cream. Pizza is like boobs. Never met a pizza I didn't like, but some are just better than others!
Appreciate the kind words, i should be around a bit more this winter. Got some actual stuff to post. Spent that last couple years working on some new gear. Takes time, but i see the light at the end of the tunnel.Great to see you here @FullDuplex. We have not met or chatted, but your rep around here is pretty widespread.
Do you by any chance have any sort of notice/list of what you have coming up? I may need something special for the next grow. I only do one per winter and the current one will finish up in a few weeks.
Welcome back, and I hope to see you around here lots.![]()
