What cheeses are used in that blend? I've always just used mozz.

I'm sure at least your version tasted good. ;)

Nicely done. I've been planning to make a plain pepperoni
pizza for a long time now. Just haven't gotten around to
it. After seeing that, maybe today. Just need to make a
sauce first. I play with sauces each time.
What size pan is that?
I use a 16" round one most times and cook it at
425 for 20 minutes.

LOL! My D-I-L has always raved about this dish but, apparently, I set an
even higher standard yesterday using some larger shrimp than usual. I
also provided the wine and even that was a perfect match. My 17yr-old
granddaughter took one sip and didn't like it until she re-tried it with
the food and changed her mind.
It's really gratifying when people appreciate what you cook for them.

Mozza, provolone, parmesan, asiago, fontina and romano. Finely shredded.

All a matter of personal preference.

I still think the best pizza I ever had was eggplant and goat cheese.
It was a special at a local pizza/Italian take out that has since gone
under. I read recently that the owner, who is a friend of my nephew,
had opened up a new place about 15 miles from here. The new place is
more of a diner. I should drop by and check out his menu..... if/when
restaurants open up here again.

I always told my daughter and anyone else that ate my cooking...
Don't tell me you loved it just to avoid hurting my feelings.
If you tell me you loved it, you'll probably get it again.
If you didn't like it, tell me...I won't be offended. Everyone
has different tastes. I realize that.

All that comes in one bag labeled "Italian Cheese Blend?"
If so, I'll look for it.
 
I only use the mozzarella cheese but after cooking and time to
eat, I'll sprinkle on some dry parmesan/romano blend. The
dry stuff is stronger and more concentrated in flavor.

Missing some broken glass shards on the floor would be a
problem for me. When inside, I'm usually barefoot or
wearing socks.
 
Those corelle plates shattering are even worse than glass.
They don't just break, they explode.
The few times that happened, I will sweep the floor, then get
down on hands and knees and "Mop" it well with a damp old
washcloth. Small kitchen floor area so no big deal.

I usually wear shoes or at least rubber-soled slippers in the house.
Generally I'm barefoot only between the bedroom and the bathroom.

That's the best way to clean up broken glass. I usually vacuum
the floor and then mop it with a damp paper towel.
 
My husband is more likely than I to be wandering around barefoot.
I don't know why; he complains bitterly when he discovers I've
spilled water on the floor without noticing. You'd think he'd
learn to wear something on his feet.

I wear "shower slippers" around the house. Rubber soles with a mesh
top, kind of like these:

They keep my feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Many years ago some friends had a dark glass type of dinnerware that was
a very dark amber almost brown, and supposedly unbreakable. I was there
one day when one of them fell out of or was accidentally knocked out of
the cupboard. It it the the counter, bounced several times, bounced off
the top of the stove, bounced off the open oven door hit the floor,
bounced a couple more times and then shattered. I was going to say a
million pieces but that would be a slight exaggeration. The pieces were
about the size of pea gravel.

LOL. I've discovered spilled water on floor too. Either
barefoot or wearing socks will find it. Socks are even worse
since then you end up with a soggy sock bottom.
 
Back to the broken glass shards. If I ever miss one with
the cleaning, one of my feet will find it eventually. arrghh

You will be remembered.
Are you really so worried about the cataract surgery? You've posted
about it several times over the last few years. I thought you had
already done one eye.
Most of us just go in and have it done and don't mention it because
there is nothing to it. By tonight you will be watching TV
comfortably. Don't forget your eye patch before you go to bed.
Chin up and don't fret.

I had both my eyes done several years ago. I don't have any problems

My mother (soon to be 89) had both of her's done at age 85.
One at a time which seems to be the normal schedule.
The second one about a month or two later after the first one
healed. Just follow all directions with eye drops, etc.
 
I can feel Sheldon's worry though. I would worry about any
surgery even though this one seems very routine.

That's not it means at all. Over 99% of all asymptomatic carriers
have eventually come down with symptoms and the disease.
 
You're an idiot.

Fish, ham, and brisket all presented together is disgusting. should
not have all been cooked together, no one wants meat smelling of fish.

>Yup! Later you'll see the brisket cut up but still not plated.
 
Natually it would look edible sliced and plated, nondescript lumps in
that throw away aluminum pan it looks like scraps for the dog or the
trash... if people are going to display pictures of food at least have
them look like food ready to eat. In that picture it looks nothing
like something anyone would want to eat... next time don't be in such
a hurry to post your food picture. Would have been fine to take just
a few more minutes to see the cooked meat with some of it sliced along
side. Your picture looks like something Jill would post... her food
pictures look just as unappetizing.

Commercially caught tuna is always mildly frozen. Immediately
butchered and packed in salt water (ocean water) ice that
freezes at around 28f vs fresh water ice that freezed at 32f.
 
My daughter caught a tuna one day. Since a day trip in
boat, it was packed in fresh water ice to keep cold.
Once back at the dock, they processed it and she brought me
2-3 thick tuna steaks. I cooked one immediately
and so delicious. Froze the other one or two and no
difference in taste quality when I cooked them.

Like Dracula, I never drink... wine.
 
Water, beer, or green tea with sushi.

I believe that my non eye witness testimony would be as accurate as that
of the mother were was reportedly out in the hallway. She believed that
the cops pushed daughter off the balcony. It is preposterous to think
that they would do that, but a distraught mother's fantasy was all it
took to set some people off.

That's interesting. I was thinking about garlic soup with
cheesy croutons.
