My mom and Dad are KY natives but we moved to Wyoming when I was little, then met my husband who is an Oregonian... I would say we can't get any farther west but I saw him looking at pictures of condos in Hawaii on the Internet yesterday

Thank you all for the tips, I am going to write them down and try to keep a "log" of cooks, temps, settings, tips, reminders etc....I greatly appreciate your help!

Thank you CC, I was going to tell everyone those feet aren't mine, but I hoped you would all know I was taking the picture! Yes, she is a beauty and I already have a couple of names kicking around in my head!

Before we bought our home in Oregon I was almost exclusively a beer and wine drinker, but my neighbors introduced me to Hendricks and I was hooked. They have good taste!

ckreef, as one of our esteemed moderators, can you start a "how to post" thread for us, I can't figure out how to start a new thread, well I can't figure out a lot of things, but that is the current "thing" I want to learn. I am using tapatalk through iPad and iPhone. Thank you!

First cook, non competition pizza. This was tricky for a newbie. I was too anxious and put the pizza in before my KK got up to 500. Patience is a virtue I am trying to learn! My sauce was too juicy and my whole wheat crust a bit thin, but my sweetie who is a pizza and tomato lover devoured it. This was my first homemade pizza and I loosely tried to pattern after my favorite Papa Murphy's Gourmet Vegetarian, except lotsa red sauce. Zucchini, yellow crook neck, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, Anaheim pepper, basil, oregano, cheddar and parm. Second cook in now, homegrown potatoes and beets wrapped in foil baking with all that leftover heat!

That is my 10lb 15+ year old rat terrier waiting in her driveway for her KK!

Thanks ckreef, here goes...

Darn, can't get picture to post, so far I am not impressing anyone with my ability to post properly on this forum. Sorry, I will figure it out!

Here's my 15-1/2 year old rat terrier waiting for our extra special delivery with me yesterday.<img src='http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/18/6ac74777fd3c6e9d944ebc6b4341273a.jpg'alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' />

Uh, oh, a fellow gin and tonic drinker, this thread could divert very rapidly!

Ha, ha! The southern Oregon Coast, otherwise fantastic, but alas the nearest Indian food is about 100 miles away, as far as I can tell. On the positive side, that's a reason for me to learn!

Thank you too MacK, I was away for a bit as well, darn those day jobs!

Thank you wilburpan, though, as I told MacKenzie, I can't hold a candle to the rest of you all, but I hope to learn, improve and have fun doing it!

Thank you, thank you! I am going to learn so much, I appreciate the info.

Ooh, please post any and all Indian recipes/cooks....No Indian restaurant in my town....

Yum, yum, yum. Thanks for the inspiration tinyfish!

Bosco, I am posting from TapaTalk, and I stopped using emoji to see if that would resolve my weird characters which looked like <br /> and then a few returns with the same symbols. It wasn't the emoji in my case, so I fiddled with my settings in TapaTalk and I think maybe turning off my "signature" saying I used TapaTalk through an iPad did it....

Also, I see you are using parchment paper between the dough and the stone, correct?

Sorry for being such a novice MacK, but what is the "window pane test"?

Oh, never mind, maybe I accidentally figured it out myself since they aren't appearing any more.

Any of you techies know why I have those weird characters at the end of my posts? How do I stop them? I am using an iPad and iPhone....
