    I guess that makes me the first Bistro Academy failure!  :sad2:

     

    No, you just have to do the supplementary :sign5:

     

    tony, once you switch all the flour to all purpose flour, I think you will be just fine. I just made some spaghetti and used that sauce for it. I'm pretty impressed with it taste wise and it is so simple. It needs to sit overnight in the fridge before using and if one likes garlic it sure comes through more than I thought it would. There is a warning in the recipe about that but I thought is can't be that strong. I was wrong, although I still really enjoyed it. I think I'll make more and freeze some so that I'll have it on hand for quick pizzas or spaghetti.

  2. ck, it is a great recipe, :thumbup:  :thumbup:  easy, quick and tastes great. I used 2% milk because that is all I had other than that no changes in ingredients. I'll start with a hotter oven next time, probably 400F. I ate 3/4 of it for supper, fortunately I was home alone :smt045

    Now I need to try the other pizza recipes you posted, well, after I do this one for another time or two. :thumbup:  :thumbup:

  3. Here we go-

     

    I made this sauce for the first time last night-

    Tip: mind what the recipe says about the size of the garlic:)

    This crust that started out 12 inches in diameter but with the giggling to get it into the oven it is more like 11 inches. This shot shows the bubbling up and I have already docked it twice.

    One side is cooked, although I'd set the oven hotter next time 400- 425F

    I'm going to claim the title, First Graduate of ckreef's Bistro Academy :sign5:

     

    It was delicious and I will improve with the next 2 or 3 that I make. :thumbup:  :thumbup:

  4. Thanks, guys.

     

    tinyfish, it was just as good as if I had just come home from the store with it. That vacuuming sealing really works, without that there would have been freezer burn and any fat would have turned.

  5. I cleaned out the meat freezer not to long ago and discovered some sirloin tip steak that needs to be cooked and eaten. It was from Oct. 2012, eek.

     

     

    Cooked at 132 F for 5 hours.

    The steak was very moist and tender and it couldn't have tasted any fresher. Seared on the de Buyer pan. One thing I've noticed about SV steak is that the colour develops several minutes of resting.

  6. If you have a deck already then the KK23 is a piece of cake to roll....just requires a hard lean to get it going...make sure someone is steering though! Mine is on a concrete patio which is typically rougher than a patio deck so you should be in great shape.

    I may have to get a loop so I can pull it out of it's home. I will not be able to get behind it to push and I doubt that pulling on the handle is advisable;) Good to know that I will be able to get it back on once I'm done cooking:) This is going to be a one person job so I can see some interesting times ahead. Maybe I can get one to those belts the linemen use to climb a pole. I could even get run over if I wasn't careful  :sign5:

  7. That's great to know. I was a little concerned if I'd be able to pull it out on my ODK area especially in the winter when I have the shutters on window which would be directly behind the grill and I do mean directly. I want to move it so that I can see the temp from inside the house through the sliding glass door. No, I'm not lazy but I don't want to put a jacket on to go out and check the temp. in the middle of winter plus I want the smoke up the inside of the ODK area. I hope my KK makes the boat some time this coming week. :cheer:  :cheer:  :cheer:

  8. Like my favorite apron says, "I cook with Wine. Some actually goes into the Food!"

     

    I have two "sets" of liquor - the cheap sh!t in the kitchen for cooking (Rum, Tequila, Brandy, Bourbon, dry Sherry, and Marsala) and the good stuff for "marinating the chef" on the bar - and never shall the two cross paths!!!  :wynar:

    I know where I'm heading :pint:

  9. I'll ask this here, "How easy it to roll the KK 23 on a deck? Just want to know if it's reasonably easy to  do. I'm getting the 21 but it weighs the same as the 23 and the base unit is the same as the 23. In the winter especially I will want to put it out a few feet to use it. Do you think I'll be able to do that?
