oh...i always get the sour cream too....i think the sour rcream and the guacamole are what makes the burrito bowl extra delicious.

forget/ignore the calorie count when you're getting chipotle!!! sour cream is a must!

I use my bread machine. It's so easy and makes enough for two pizzas with thin crust or one thick pizza. Dump the ingredients in, set it on dough timer and it does all the work.
I bake them on a pampered chef pizza stone. I put a bit of olive oil on the stone and then roll out the dough and pre-bake for about 8 minutes, then take it out and put the toppings on and back in the oven for another 8 to 10 minutes on 450*. Rolling the dough is easier if you coat your rolling pin with a little olive oil first. Just a light coating.
Here's the recipe I use most of the time : http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-peezy-pizza-dough-bread-machine-pizza-dough-35805

Thanks, I'll try the olive oil, don't have a bread machine. The instructions that came with the pizza stone said to not use olive oil on it but as it is, it's not doing me any good so couldn't hurt to try.

Mine probably said that too :lol: my pizza stone is very well worn in. It's black and seasoned just like granny's cast iron skillet. I don't drench it in oil, just a tablespoon or so. Don't know why I do, I just do :lol: It probably would be just as good without doing that. I think the secret is in getting your pizza stone seasoned and putting a little oil on the rolling pin.
I've had the bread machine for years and use it alot. I make low carb bread, and we make alot of honey whole wheat and whole wheat pizza dough sometimes (we tend to eat alot of pizza :lol:, really just one night a week) It also makes fresh jams. If you have the space for one, it's a good investment. Sometimes, I use it just for the dough and then bake the bread off in the oven, just depends on the mood and how much time I want to spend in the kitchen.

when i go to hooters and have wings with my friend...we usually get the 20 piece, he would always have so much blue cheese it's as if he's drinking it, as opposed of using it for dip.

I have a friend that has a pho place 5 minutes from his house..lucky bastard!

They're a local company that was started by a couple of UT kids.. They've now got like 5 or more places around Austin. Wicked good wings.
Try their pluckers lemonade.. It's a pink lemonade with Vodka and tastes just like pink lemonade. Deceiving and refreshing when it's hot out.

I could tell people are crazy about Pho when I visited my friend who lives in San Jose, CA (i learned that theres a HUGE Vietnamese population there)......after i got picked up from the airport...we went to this pho place to have some pho....it was around 11 pm...I was like aren't they closed?....turns out it was a 24 HOUR pho....i've never seen anything like it. 24 hour pho...thats just insane. all the pho places here closes at 10 or 1030 pm.

Having to plan your wardrobe around what you're going to eat is sad. Even more sad is it's not just pho.
Exhibit a: Went to Panera for lunch today and had a soup bread bowl. Managed to flip the bowl lid (after dipping it in the soup) and it landed, soup side down in my lap.
Exhibit b: Last night I was eating a quesadilla on my couch. It was covered in sour cream, avocados and salsa. As I tried to cut a tiny piece off the corner for Maddy, I managed to slip the whole thing off my plate where it landed, upside down, on the left side of my chest. Which reminds me, I need to go check if the stain came out. :facepalm:
