    Favorite Way to Dress a Homemade Pizza Up?

    I recently acquired a pizza dough recipe that only requires about 30 to 45 minutes to let rise after a 10 minute kneading. It can then be dressed with toppings of any sort and baked in an oven for 20 minutes. My first two tries gave me an absolute 5 star crust.So now I have the foundation. I...

    Pipe "kit invention" for pipe conventions?

    I thought of an idea for a pipe convention.It would allow you to test numerous types of tobacco,and yet,only loading up your pipe only once. The kit would involve drilling a 3/16 hole in the bottom of each participants corn cob pipe and installing a quick release nipple. Each member would have a...

    Eyes wide open, but the brain cells were detached !!

    It was a beautiful evening today,7:45pm.Walked to the store. The traffic light was in my favor,and half way across the street a car made an illegal left turn and kept coming toward me.The crazy thing was,his eyes were locked onto mine. He kept looking right at me,and as I wasn't sure which way...

    What peeves you off,and would be enough figuratively,to entice you to sail away in a hot air balloon and watch the ground get farther and farther away? Mine would be at Christmas,when yet again,I get that article of clothing that doesn't fit.Yet the gift in return,fits in there wallet nicely.

    May the force surround you and you be heir to that force?

    The external forces that act upon our desire to smoke a pipe are a silent but true calling.If you separated 4 brothers at birth and put each brother in a different area of the world,US-Canada-Australia-Russia, with no contact with each other,and all things being equal for now(such as...

    Serious question.Has pipe smoking changed with time?

    My first job landed me at a lumber company and brought with it many a time that I would watch a middle age man stick the bowl of his pipe deep into a bag of tobacco.As it emerged out of the bag,it was ready for a match with tobacco sloppily hanging over the top edge.He puffed hungrily like it...
