Fond memories of this album as an "edgy" teenager. "The Bad Touch" was a phenomenon. My friends and I still randomly quote "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Crying" to this day. "I would wear her face like a mask as I do my little kooky dance."

    Dough (makes 3 pizzas in 11" skillet)

    • 4.25 cups Bread Flour = $0.93
    • 2.25 tsp Rapid-rise Yeast = $1.00
    • 1.5 tsp Salt = $0.02
    • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil = $0.36
    • 1.75 cup Warm (115F) Water = Free

    Total = $2.31

    This dough recipe is for 3 pizzas in an 11" skillet. Mix all the dry ingredients, then mix in oil, then slowly mix in water. Knead for 10 min or stand mix for 5. Oil a large bowl and let dough rise covered until doubled 60-90min in a warm place. Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 3 pieces.

    Preheat oven 450F. In a cast iron skillet coat the bottom in olive oil then spread dough out to edges. If the dough want to contract a lot, let it rest for 5 min then press it out again. Cover with sauce, cheese and toppings

    Bake for ~23 min until the cheese is melted and golden.

    Take the skillet out of the oven and trace the edges with a knife to free the cheese edge. Then turn on a burner to medium and cook the bottom for around 5 minutes to develop an extra crispy bottom.

  • Cooper's hawk (midwest.social)
     

    Location: Midwest USA.

    I was walking back to my car as the sun was setting and passed by a family of black-capped chickadees all chirping an alarm. I looked up to see this Cooper's hawk perched, looking menacingly. She? quickly took off and this was the only photo I could get.

    The other day I spotted some blood by my favorite public bird feeder. I think I found the culprit. At first I thought this juvenile bobcat was a squirrel as there were damn near 100 scurrying around me, until I noticed those piercing eyes. She wasn't much larger than some of the fatter squirrels. It was absolutely adorable watching her practice stalking her prey unsuccessfully.
