This is probably a dumb question, but is there cheese on that thing?

This one was made by a friend, but I don’t think so.

I bought an Ooni pizza oven for work and we were using that. It’s pretty terrible actually, extremely poor heat distribution makes for super uneven cooking.

The model I have uses wood pellets for fuel, which gets soot and dust everywhere.

i only had ooni once at a friend’s house, but once he got the temperature going it was pretty good. i think i ate two pizzas that day

It snowed here today which is wild. White chicken chili helped.

Great stuffing recipes posted here would be much appreciated! Especially ones without too many difficult-to-find ingredients.

Thanks!

If anyone has plant-based stuffing ideas or tips, I’ll be making one and could use some inspiration.

Just in case you hadn’t seen it:

Lotta stuffing is vegan except for the stock and maybe butter, so it shouldn’t be too hard to make something good. Putting kombu in the homemade veggie stock seems like a great idea, and I wouldn’t be above adding some straight MSG (especially if you can’t find kombu). You probably don’t need a thickener to sub in for the gelatin from a meat-based stock, as the starch from the bread should be enough.

I thought it was more common to put the squid ink into the pasta than into the sauce, but should still be good.

Needs moar pesto, imo

Looks terrible but it tastes okay. Probably not going to do this again. Then again, I gotta do something with all this squid ink I mysteriously have.

This is a dumb question, but can someone describe what squid ink tastes like?

I have had squid ink pasta before, but I don’t really remember it too well and I don’t remember it being very distinctive. So, I concluded that maybe it wasn’t a very good one that I had.

It’s always tasted savory and briny to me. Very similar to the ocean and fish. Could be how I’ve had it prepared though.

Thanks. That is consistent with what I had, but I couldn’t be sure those flavors didn’t come from some other ingredients in the dish. When I eat something, I’m horrible at figuring out what is in it by taste.

The OG Iron Chef had a squid episode and one of the dudes made squid ink ice cream. Incredible show, A+++
