Riverside, CA - Backyard Overhaul
- Thread starter bdavis466
- Start date
I was just sent a picture of two Olive trees in the backyard so I guess that solves that dilemma. Hopefully no regrets!
We visited Rhode Island in the fall of last year and I was blown away that areas like that actually exist. February might be a different story though
February is brutal in Rhode Island, but summer is simply too awesome.
Pre kids, pre full blown adulthood - Newport Rhode Island was our quick weekend destination..

Ossining Prison (aka, Sing-sing) was on my way to work everyday....
I drove through RI on I95 in February ‘96 after a particularly brutal snowstorm. Cresting over a hill and seeing ice-coated frozen tree gleam in the afternoon sun was a particularly breathtaking site to see. But yes, summertimes in Providence and boat trips around Narragansett Bay are fun times ...
Me too...but only for the pizza and seafood. Pizza SUCKS out here in the West. Water is all wrong.
So the key to good pizza is the water? Here I thought it was the cardboard box all along...

Water is all wrong here - too alkaline and too much calcium. East coast water is what you need. Flour used to make the dough is also not right out here. There is (was) a pizza place in Cali just before Camp Pendleton in San Clemente that “claimed” to import water and flour from the east coast to make their pizzas. I never tried the place but I was tempted...each slice cost $20

He’s on the right track, the nyc bagel can’t be duplicated either. I think Modern Marvels did an episode and credited New York’s limestone aquifers.. I just can’t remember..
Anyway nyc thin pie & that magical orange grease.. mmmm

Oh, wait, that wasn’t supposed to come out that way ....
I probably shouldn’t mention this as may be deemed cause for institutionalization.
- in a crazy pizza phase I was using distilled water & OO semolina flour to make the dough then firing on my kamado.

Then I will also confess, I would pulse vacuum seal the dough, despite risking a yeast fail.
- to keep minimize air contact time with the distilled water until I got it in the 700+ grill.. in retrospect, it was a dark time in my life... & surely an over pondered & futile protocol.
But man oh man those pies!! Fahgedbodit!
