Hi Dave,

 RH> I bought a rectangular, ridged on one side and sloped into a well thing
 RH> for doing bacon with my first microwave. Passed it on eventually for
 RH> various reasons.

 DD> I had ne of those several houses (and microwaves) ago. It went, pretty
 DD> quickly, to the Goodwill donations box.

It was essentially a uni-tasker; I try not to keep many of those in my
kitchen.

 DD> grease. and the reverse side is smooth  and can be used for cooking or
 DD> warming pizza in the microwave.

 RH> Most of our pizza is done in the regular oven. Reheating is done in the
 RH> toaster/convection oven, as is pizza bread (toast bread, add sauce,
 RH> toppings, bake for a few minutes in oven).

 DD> I only use this for warming pizza. Baking is done on a pizza stone in
 DD> the oven. Just bought a new 16" square pizza stone w/paddle (peel) for
 DD> less than U$10. Heck, the peel is worth that.

We have a 16x20 stone and a peel that's about 15" side to side; took a
bit of a learning curve to master getting the pizza off the peel but
Steve can do it quite well now (most of the time).

 DD>      8----- OUT ----->8


 RH> Depends, I might do planned overs but usually cook up pasta fresh and
 RH> just reheat the sauce.

 DD> That's the way I do it and that's what I said above. I've not figured
 DD> out a way the save cooked bare pasta successfully.

Mix a bit of oil (olive or canola) or butter in with it, store it
tightly covered. Works well for us.


 DD> Made this yesterday for my brother's Stupid bowl party. He supplied
 DD> the dippers. I dropped it off and came back home to finish a book I
 DD> was near the end of. Watching steroid giants crash into each other is
 DD> not my idae of time well spent.

I watched maybe two minutes of the game, spent more time visiting with
friends. Our church had its annual game watch/chili cook off with
results of the latter announced at half time. Out of about 9 chilis,
ours placed third. First was a real mouth scorcher, with extra peppers
on the side. Ours had a nice blend of about 8 peppers (fresh, dried and
powdered) that gave a nice heat, but not too hot, from the lips to the
throat. Trouble is, this group does not know/appreciate real chili,
despite our years of trying to educate them.


 DD>       Title: Cannoli Dip
 DD>  Categories: Cheese, Chocolate, Nuts, Citrus
 DD>       Yield: 3 servings

Looks good,we've enjoyed cannolis at various Italian restaurants.
Wegmans sells both the filled ones, plus packages of shells, shell
pieces and the filling--nice treat.
