Frozen pizza prices are out of control. you can go to a restaurant for similar prices, or Dominos for cheaper. And they bring it to you hot, no need to forget to turn on oven.

Yeah, last time I tried to buy one I felt sick at 10 bucks. I live in hipster pricing but that is crazy. Almost ordered a biscuit this morning from Candler Park Biscuits, it would have been 20 bucks for biscuit and hash. I felt I'll

Course give me 4 beers and I'll order a 20 buck pizza from the guys at the market every Sunday. But they make a good pizza

Just finished of the last of my 22 Larceny here, no barrel proof or single left. Maybe switch to not great rye since the taste buds are burnt

[broadrun96]

Every tray is croissant and and pain au chocolat with the Pullman filled with croissant loaf, the trim from shaping croissants and I get none of it. Cups have croissant dough to make cruffins, they fill them with lemon curd this week I think

I just ate some fruit in an effort to convince my body I care about it.

[broadrun96]

Corn is fruit, it's a pollinated flower of the stalk

That's why pizza is a salad, fruit salad with tomatoes and peppers and calcium from milk, it's health food

And because LM weekend it started to thunder and pour about 5 minutes in so we felt like we were there with a Jason Statham narrating

I absolutely love making ham and cheese pasta! It's one of those comforting dishes that never fails to satisfy. The simplicity of the ingredients combined with the richness of the cheese and the savory flavor of the ham creates a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Plus, it's incredibly versatile – you can use whatever type of pasta you have on hand and adjust the cheese to your liking. Whether it's a quick weeknight meal or a special dish for race day, ham and cheese pasta always hits the spot. It's definitely a favorite in my kitchen!

I would imagine it would work well if followed by French silk cake.

This is the ham and cheese pasta recipe I usually prepare. Feel free to adjust the cheese or add extras like vegetables!
Ingredients:

• 1 cup cubed cooked ham
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 oz dry pasta (penne, rotini, or shells work well)
• Optional: Chopped onion, garlic, peas, broccoli florets

Instructions:

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. While pasta cooks, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. Slowly whisk in milk, then bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
4. Reduce heat to low and stir in cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
5. Add cooked pasta, ham, and optional vegetables to the sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly.
6. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve immediately, topped with extra shredded cheese if desired.
