Decent markdown on Kroger choice roast. Not a steal but a fair price. I need some of Barney ‘s bottom knocker price stickers to get it down to the really cheap price😂

In the crockpot with carrots and onions and some Wosch and ketchup.

Eight hours later with chunks of pone, pretty good eating.
Made a gravy out of liquid and will have it with thick brown gravy for leftovers soon.

Looks awesome, Bee!

I just put a couple of chuck roasts from the freezer in the fridge to thaw for beef and egg noodles for Sunday dinner with the kids.

Kroger in my town NEVER has marked down Meat.
I asked about it and they said it goes to the "Homeless" who are extremely well fed here.
My Kroger managers were talking about that. They told me that they used to be able to mark products down to whatever they wanted to and move it. Now it's a set price that's too high to move, so it ends up being donated out of the community.

I made a batch of pizza dough for my better half and me a weekend pizza binge.


I like to let my crust get bubbly and active in the pan before topping it, but if it's topped heavily like we like pizza, it can deflate the warm soft dough in the middle.. delicious nonetheless, but not as it should be.

Well, I learned a little trick from an old Pizza Hut employee a while back. Let the dough proof and come alive, then put it in fridge for 30 minutes or longer to firm up before topping it. It was a duh moment for me. Works like a charm! I also learned about the fairy dust. Yep, those 2 tips took my pan pizzas to the next level!
That’s freaking crazy. I tried back in winter and failed .Gonna try again soon.

Today will be the 4th Barney’s Deep Dish Hut I’ve fixed in 4 days and they get better every day. The world needs to be turned on to these Barney, let’s go in business and a billion bucks!
We do the same thing, and these pizzas never get old to us. I'm actually fixing to put one together from 48 hour dough right now.

It would be fun to make up a couple of hundred dough balls and sell pizzas on Saturday until you run out!

Each of my 4 crusts was 405 grams for my 12” skillet. I sift my flour before measuring 6 cups rather than packing.
I don't sift but I should, better yet everything should be weighed. Some old habits are hard to break but I'm working on it. Edited my above post because I said 10" skillet rather than #10 skillet.

Are you using bread flour for your crusts?
