=========================
 ML> Title: Pop-up Pizza

 JW> I have no quarrel with the concept, just the name. It needs some
 JW> jiggering though:

I don't think you get the concept ...

 ML> 1/8 ts Hot pepper sauce (double it)

Use hot chile powder.

 ML> 1 c  Milk
 ML> 1 c  Flour, all purpose
 ML> 1 tb Oil
 ML> 2    Eggs
 ML> 1/2 ts Salt
 JW> (Batter is too wet; use a biscuit dough.)

... which is that this so-called pizza is really based on
a popover recipe, an intriguing but in the last analysis
nasty idea.

 -=> Jim Weller said to Janis Kracht <=-

 JW> We did that too yesterday. Sadly the last remaining good pizzeria
 JW> in town is going downhill.

Which is that? There doesn't seem to be one in your list.

 JW> We have:
 JW> formerly #1: George the Greek, retired, equipment scrapped as there
 JW> were no buyers.

We talked of this. I thought it a tragedy.

 JW> formerly #2: Luigi's, then Bruno's, now in Vietnamese hands. This is
 JW> where we ordered: scanty sauce, too much poor quality Mozza,
 JW> underbaked, cheese barely melted, limp soggy crust.

Are your Vietnamese like our Koreans? They do well doing, well,
what they do well, then branch out into what they can't do well
but make money anyhow.

 JW> formerly #2: (tied) Papa Jim's, an independent who got successful
 JW> and all super-cheffy. He is now head chef at a hotel steak house
 JW> where he makes small fancy ass pizza appetizers.

Hotel steak house in YK?

 JW> formerly #3: Pizza Hut, has a new franchisee, a drop on quality from
 JW> mediocre to bad and a rise in prices.

It boggles the mind that drop in quality from what I witnessed
could be compatible with staying in business.

 JW> formerly #4: Domino's. Now #1 by default! How sad is that.

Quite sad.

 JW> unrated: Reddi-Mart. It's owned by drug dealers; I don't patronize
 JW> them.

Were I desperate enough, I'd consort with drug dealers. What
seems most suspicious to me is the name.

 JW> I shall now resume making my own.

Always a good solution. Even though you don't have a
900F brick, you are likely to be able to do better
than Domino.

As we had been talking of recipes that there's no
discernible reason to make:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.07

      Title: Jeff's Pizza Sauce
 Categories: Sauces, Italian, Pizza
   Servings: 4

     56 oz (2-28 oz cans) Italian Plum
           Tomatoes, drained
      6 oz Tomato paste (small can)
      2 tb Olive oil
      2 tb Corn syrup
      2 tb Brown sugar
  2 1/2 tb Oregano
      1 tb Tarragon
      1 ts Salt
      1 tb Garlic powder
      1 tb Basil
    1/2 ts Onion powder
    1/2 ts Worcestershire sauce

  If you don't like small bits of tomato in the sauce, puree the whole
  tomatoes in the blender first.  Otherwise, chop them as the mixture cooks.

  Mix all ingredients, except oregano, in large saucepan.  Simmer for 30
  minutes, then add oregano.  Cook additional 15 minutes.

  Sauce is best if cooked then chilled, overnight, in the refrigerator.

  To Use:  Prepare basic pizza dough.  Spoon sauce onto crust out to rims,
  cover with thick layer of mozzarella cheese.  Top with meat and vegetable
  toppings, then cover again with mozzarella and parmesan (or romano)
  cheeses. All cheeses are best if freshly grated.
