In this episode, it’s not so much about what we’re eating right now.  We’re snacking on popcorn while we partake in a bit of marginally focused rambling about the culinary adventures that consumed our Thanksgiving weekend. The Chef recounts his traditional Thanksgiving fare, we reminisce about swearing at groundhog cupcakes (guided by instructions found here) and Sous responds to a provocative food challenge issued by one of our dear listeners.

It's Pizza Season! We break out our trusty bread machine and fire off a batch of The Chef's pizza dough. Want the recipe?

1-2/3 cups water
2 TBL olive oil
2TBL sugar
1 tsp salt
2TBL dry milk
2 cups wheat flour*
2-1/2 cups white flour*
2 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
Activate the dough cycle on the bread machine and do a little dance, knowing that homemade pizza is not far away!

* You can play with this ratio of wheat flour to white flour - your mileage may vary! Listen to the episode for details.

But wait- there's more!  This isn't just pizza - this is Buffalo Chicken Pizza with cheese baked into the crust!  How, you ask, is this possible?
Behold the photographic representations of Pizza Goodness!


(dots of Gorgonzola around the edge of the dough)


(fold the edge over so the cheesy goodness bakes in!)


(chihuahua cheese, chicken, Frank's Red Hot - this baby's ready to bake!)


(the infamous warped oven door - ah, the sacrifices we make for great pizza!)

Good eating!

It's leftovers time at Casa de Chowcast!  We use up some of the weekend's garlic mashed potatoes and mushrooms (shiitake and criminis) and spiced them up with some hot link sausages for tonight's meal.

As we clear out the leftovers and some old business (like naming our first contest winner!), we rehash the glory of the Chef's triumphant showing in last weekend's dinner party!  You'll have to listen for all of the juicy details, but here are a few tantalizing glimpses:


Bear with us, dear listeners!  All of the details (plus digressions involving DDT and dogs) take us an hour to relate to you.  Brevity may be the soul of wit, but Shakespeare never had dinner with us.  So settle in with your favorite beverage (or two - we don't judge!) and let us tell you a story about some mighty fine grub.

With apologies to Poe, we bring you a Halloween edition of Chowcast in which we:

- sort of fear the rareness of the ribeye we're eating;
- anticipate a bad-ass dinner party we're throwing this weekend;
- feel the love in the form of emails and our first! ever! voicemail!;
- survive exploding rice;
- express retroactive wariness of a stalker from long ago;
- wax rhapsodic (again, we think) about the movie Dinner Rush.

Pull out your flashlights and huddle up by the campfire - it's spooky story time, Chowcast-style!

Have you survived exploding rice? Have you ever had beef that was still kind of mooing at you?  Hell, have you seen Dinner Rush?  We want to know!
