The dough will be going in there soon but I don't start this early!That's what the freezer is for. Although right now, I have about 20 pounds of fruit and 10 loaves of bread in my freezer.
I feel like I am intruding on a private moment....
It's buried in the back of an unassuming strip mall, but always has a packed dining room and does booming take-out. I think it's as good as Buddy's, but a bit cheaper, and they have a heart-stopping garlic-cheese dip that is a must.
Lou Malnati's classic with sausage is good. The rest of Chicago-style "pizz-agna" is meh at best.
In Detroit, definitely Buddy's. Shield's is very hit-or-miss, it depends on the location & management. I have yet to try Cloverleaf (similar to Uno/Lou Malnati in Chicago, they claim to have been started by the chef who developed Buddy's square pie, then spun-off on his own). I have one "secret" local joint a short drive from my apartment, but I'd have to kill you if I told you the name...
Jet's is passable in a pinch, but being a national chain, I think their crust tastes too much like vegetable oil and their sauce is pretty bland/industrialized.
It goes without saying, but for the love of Cthulhu, please never eat Little Caesar's - I apologize for that crap.
I've done 3.
I think you make more different types than my mom did. She did traditional types from Germany and France/ Everyone in the neighborhood looked forward to the holidays
And I don't have traditional recipes to rely on, since I don't remember my grandmother baking much (cooking yes, but not so much baking). Not much baking in my house growing up.
My mother had all recipes on cards. They may be old but they were good. I think my brothers wife has all cards? . My mom could cook or bake with the best of them. I'm grateful that her love of cooking got me in the kitchen. I'm shocked at how many folks today can't even roast a chicken.I bought vanilla yesterday, and almost had to take out a loan. Is there some sort of nasty vanilla plant disease ravaging Madagascar? The cashier's mouth dropped open when she told me my total ($20 for 4 oz).
I'd like to make more traditional cookies, but I am told those are "old people" cookies.

Out here the 'naturla brand of vanilla beans is much cheaper as in 4 times less expensive and way fresher. BJs has big bottles of vanilla extract- the real deal, for way less.I bought vanilla yesterday, and almost had to take out a loan.
