Subj : Pizza [1] To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Fri Jul 25 2025 10:25:51 Hi Dave, DD> relic Black & Decker plug-in electric mower. Dennis refuses to "mess DD> with all of that cord" and went out and bought a 24" seflf-propelled DD> gas mower. I laugh every time he has trouble starting it. Bv)= RH> Steve had a laugh over that, reading over my shoulder. We were RH> responsible for a space maybe 5'by 15'to the one side of our quarters RH> in Savannah. Steve bought an electric mower, don't remember if it moved RH> to NC with us or not (if so, it didn't last long). We use a yard RH> service now as we have .28/acre--not really enough to get a riding RH> mower for and the service gets it done fast. Also nice to have the yard RH> looking well kept when we're travelling; we don't come home to a RH> jungle. (G) DD> When I lived in the tin can I had an even tinier yard and a battry DD> powered mower. Then the battery died and I got "sticker shock". A DD> replacement DD> battery would have cost more than I paid for the mower. So, my late DD> friend, Les, brouht me the Black & Decker electric that his mother had DD> used on her yard. Sounds like a good deal to me. We've got a good sized front/side yard and a small back yard. Town of WF has claimed an easement in the back for a proposed greenway but that's been on their books since the late 80s. We've got a small herb garden up against the fence but have not tried growing more than that in some years. RH> Last time we were at a Godfather's was when we were in Savannah. Pizza RH> was meh but service was lousy so we've never gone back to one. DD> Never been to a Godfather's that offered reulae sit-down table DD> service. My locals are both on the "Quick-Serve" plan like Freddy's or DD> Panera DD> Bread. Order at the counter and someone will trot it out to you at DD> your table. We don't go out for pizza, know that we can make a much better one at home. DD> 8<----- Y'KNOW ----->8 DD> I have better luck finding the ingredients for this in the store than DD> I do with the whole wheat pizza schtick. DD> Title: Cauliflower Crust Pizza DD> Categories: Vegetables, Cheese, Pork, Herbs, Chilies DD> Yield: 2 Servings RH> Michael made one of those at the picnic at Boyd's Pond in 2015; IIRC, RH> we had a storebought one also. Neither of them were that great but the RH> storebought was actually better. Probably because they knew what to do; RH> Michael's was an improv of this and that. DD> Michael was an amazing "wing-it" chef. Never ceased to amaze me. I know; I miss him and some of the other folks who used to be here. When we're in western NY, we very often try to go to Taste of Japan, the sushi place Nancy and Richard introduced us to. We introduced Steve's brother & wife, one sister and her husband to it this spring. We stayed after the others had left, catching up with the owner and his wife.
