Hi Michael,

 RH> About your post regarding cheddar on pizza--my mom used to stretch the
 RH> provided cheese in the Appean Way boxed pizza mixes with cheddar.

 ML> Using whatever's available to improve the box stuff is fair.

True, but the flavor of the cheddar just didn't match with the other
flavors.

 ML> I had it once - my mother picked one up, and everyone was
 ML> appalled. Trying to reduce a dish to powder is difficult,
 ML> and trying to reconstitute powder into a recognizable food
 ML> is generally futile.

Very much a lost cause, but it wwas an introduction to pizza. A while
later when she was at summer school, we tried the individual rounds of
frozen pizza (what Steve & I dubbed "frozen cardboard"); it was a small
improvement. At least it hadn't been dried and reconstituted.


 Cheddar on top of such could only
 ML> improve things.

That's a somewhat debatable point. If there's not enough cheddar on to
significantly add to the taste, then it could just as well be left off.


 ML>   All
 RH> the company used to provide was a small packet of Parm & possibly
 RH> dried Mozzarella so my mom would put an equally small amount of cheddar
 RH> on the pizza. I never knew a good pizza until I left home for college;

 ML> College is good for something, then :D

Agreed; Steve and I met freshman year (but he was going to a different
college and dropped out after that year).


 ML> Fitzgerald's, a quick search indicates. People are
 ML> under the impression that the two places are under
 ML> different ownership, which might explain something.
 RH> But this couple that told us about Fitzgerald's knows that it's the
 RH> same ownership. They just said that the Raleigh restaurant took the
 RH> good cooks from the Rolesville one.

 ML> The reviews contain an anecdote that a gift certificate
 ML> purchased at Rolesville before was not accepted at Rolesville
 ML> after, with the admonition to go to Raleigh.

Interesting; the only thing we looked at on their web site was the
location and the menu. I checked out the Seoul Garden before we went;
had mixed reviews on service but pretty much all agreed that it was the
best Korean food in the area.


 ML> No more than chicken makes you chicken!
 RH> Or eating soup makes you into a souper hero? (G)  It's late; I've had
 RH> a busy day and my mind is getting flaky.

 ML> That's okay, I'm getting a bit crusty myself.


Sounds like we're getting fir to be pied.

I almost bought a head of cauliflower in Lowe's yesterday. What stopped
me was the fact that they were all big heads and Steve doesn't like it
too much. Neither of our girls liked it much either but if I sprinkled
some (green can) Parm cheese on it, it would disappear. Probably vanish
even faster now that I've stopped buying the green can (stopped when we
moved to GA) and now buy nothing but the Parm Reggiano & Peccorino
Romano (red can) by the chunk.
