Text of the page (random words):
as long as we ve been together he had a house in malibu for many years and misses it it s not that i don t want to move there i just want to move there for the summer that s not an option yet dana s experiences in hawaii have always been top notch for many years dana almost right out of usc in the late 70 s started working for the beach boys he ended up managing them until the mid 80 s when he left them to manage rick springfield andy gibb full time dana brought the beach boys several times to hawaii and as you can imagine they were treated like king kamehameha so we saw and did nothing but the best while we there it was a pretty magical trip and once again i fell in love with hawaii we spent endless days on the beach being served pina coladas and nights out at the most amazing restaurants we had a great night at hy s steakhouse nothing about it was very hawaiian as a matter of fact it looked very old school fancy hollywood but it is exactly the old school flavor i love check it out here hy s steakhouse we had a very aloha spirit dinner at the halekulani s restaurant called orchids our table was right on the rail overlooking the ocean that was so romantic and amazing check it out here orchids at the halekulani and finally we went to a luau at the royal hawaiian aka the pink hotel which was a blast check out this excerpt from the luah at the royal hawaiian a couple weeks ago my friend ryan polito had an awesome tiki party called cupid vs tiki for valentines eve ryan is an amazing person and director i was supervising producer set designer on the miss california pageant we worked on together for television seen here he and his wife have a beautiful home in santa monica with an amazing back yard that looks like it s right out of the halekulani he built a custom bar that looks like the tiki room with vintage 40 s 60 s lighting and an amazing collection of mai tai glasses they had mai tai s and blue hawaiian s already made and far too convenient to grab off the bar they had it catered with a walk up taco bar and it actually went quite well regardless of it not being hawaiian although there is an amazing shrimp taco truck in oahu if you re lucky enough to find it i brought them some homemade pineapple upside down cake which i will share the recipe for later on in this blog saturday my amazing friend aimee treated me to an awesome night called supercalifragilistic a night with richard sherman this man and his brother wrote an incredible catalogue of songs most of which are world renowned disney songs the first half he played and sang all of his hits as if we were in the office of walt disney when he originally pitched them he spoke admirably and fond of walt disney and i had a smile on my face the whole time i mean the man wrote mary poppins the jungle book winnie the pooh chitty chitty bang bang bedknobs broomsticks it s a small world and apropos to this blog the tiki room theme song it was an awesome evening capped by a visit to musso franks aimee i are old souls we love historic romps and preserved history musso franks has been a hollywood institution since 1919 musso frank s fan site we sat at the bar because we both love the perfect sidecar martini and we knew we d get one at m f s the interior is right out of the 40 s and the bar has been there even longer mario asked us what we wanted when we said a sidecar without hesitation he grabbed that shaker and started pouring the brandy most people look at you with a scared look on their face and then you see them flipping though a recipe book need i say mario made us the best damned sidecar we ve ever tasted the staff there is top notch and you feel like you re apart of the family there so much so that the whole musso frank family was there and sat at the bar with us sharing old stories and history about the restaurant it was an awesome night and if you ever get a chance i suggest you run down there and experience all the gloriousness of old hollywood preserved we wanted to finish the night at tiki ti but we were having so much fun we couldn t leave so onto our pineapple upside down cake that ll turn you right side up 1 springform pan regular round pan or

egg 1 tsp vanilla 1 1 4 c sifted cake flour 1 1 2 tsp baking powder 1 2 tsp salt preheat oven to 350 f melt the butter and put it into your cake round swirl it around so it covers bottom drain the pineapple and save 1 2 c of the juice or syrup arrange pineapple rings around the bottom and center each with cherries sprinkle your pecans over that now spread the brown sugar over that and then your crushed pineapple over that set aside cake mix cream shortening and gran sugar until smooth add the egg and vanilla beat until fluffy sift the dry ingredients together and alternate adding dry mix and pineapple juice into batter incorporating each first spoon your mix into cake pan evenly level the cake by lightly tapping pan on the counter bake 45 50 minutes cool on a baking rack or near a draft for 5 minutes turn onto a cake plate served warm with coconut sorbet or vanilla ice cream is like crack although i ve never done crack it is how i imagine it to be side note you can omit the pineapple rings and just used crushed pineapple and it s just as good i do highly recommend using butter but if you are lactose intolerant a margarine or smart beat will work as well i forgot to take a pic of mine but here is what it looks like at clifton s cafeteria which is amazing btw downtown l a if you get a chance go our s will be a lot better than this one no offense to clifton s it s just the truth

food parties recipes travel that s amore pizza pizza 26 02 2010 when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that s amore ah pizza italy s invention america s obsession pizza is such a personal thing everyone has an opinion on their favorite pizzas i certainly have a lot of opinions on pizza as well as suggestions and a recipe could there be any more perfect food i mean come on it s got all your major food groups bread fruits tomato vegetables mushrooms dairy and meat of course that s my pizza thin crust thick crust new york style chicago style stuffed crust you name it and there s 3 million ways to make a pizza i have a favorite pizza place virtually everywhere i go when i was a kid we probably ate it once a week there was shakey s dominoes pizza hut numero uno ah yes little ceasars pizza pizza all pretty horrible now by my standards but i d still eat them if put in front of my face my mom used to get us little ceasars when i was a kid she d order extra bread sticks they were brushed with butter and slathered in processed parmesan she d get an extra bag of breadsticks and we d eat it on the way home good times well i ve grown up and have developed a little more of a discriminating taste for pizza that s for sure i had never made a pizza until two weeks ago unless you count the english muffin pizzas i make it s hard to make a good pizza at home without the proper oven i would kill for a pizza oven something to aspire toward i did buy a nifty little nonstick perforated pizza pan that does the trick fairly well i had a gift certificate to williams sonoma which is virtually useless to me under 200 because i know i can get everything else cheaper somewhere else so i bought one that s it to the left a little sidebar did you know you can use a williams sonoma gift cert at pottery barn and pottery barn kids well now ya do trying to find a good recipe for a pizza is like looking for a needle in a haystack everyone has an opinion i m still convinced even after making one with my new pan that you must have a pizza oven nonetheless it turned out pretty well and i thought was better than a frozen pizza and cheaper than delivery speaking of frozen pizzas one of my favorites is made by freschetta i don t know if you get them where you are they re sometimes even hard to find in l a don t get the precut pan one i tried that one and it s horrible the best one is the small regular one i put it right on my oven rack at 400 for 20 minutes my market doesn t carry it anymore though i ve asked them several times to get it to no avail the crust is great and it doesn t get watered down like california pizza kitchen although i do like the cpk chrispy thin crust sicilian again baked right on the oven rack it s like pizza on a cracker yum take our poll i consider myself pretty lucky to live in a city that has absolutely the best pizza place in the u s called casa bianca in eagle rock i don t care what anyone says this is the best pizza i ve ever tasted ever it s a little mom and pop joint near pasadena in a charming part of l a called eagle rock the extra large sausage and pepperoni pizza is so lip smacking good you will jump on the table and sing the praises of the messiah cometh when with a couple people we order an antipasta salad extra large sausage pepperoni and a regular of the same so we can take some home i can t exaggerate enough how good this pizza is and it s cheap ya gotta get there early and prepare to wait no worries though they have 2 glasses of wine while you wait check it out here http www casabiancapizza com you don t want to order take out though trust me pizza usually doesn t have a chance in a box the box builds up condensation and basically ruins the original form of the crust if you have to order take out i suggest putting it in the oven when you get home directly on the rack at 420f for a few minutes casa biancas i also can t deny my love for the classic historic l a staple miceli s this old school italian eatery is a landmark in los angeles while the food is pretty standard americanized italian i love it just the same the waiters get up and sing and there s always music playing live on the piano you feel like you re in lady the tramp the rolls they serve are addicting it s where lucille ball learned about pizza throwing for the famous pizza episode i prefer the original on las palmas in hollywood but there s also one in studio city on cahuenga by universal studios http www micelisrestaurant com when i m in new york city i always go back to my college hangout called big nicks this joint is way cool and my opinion on nicks might be biased because i have such fond memories of college hanging out there i ve been back several times and it never disappoints me the first time i ever had white cheese pizza was here and they make an awesome one the last time i was in ny my friend jennifer and her husband dave met me there and our same waitress from college was still there her name s suzi and if you re ever lucky enough to go make sure you ask for suzi s section she s a spit fire and the woman is on her game i think she s pretty famous there i found a picture of her on google i don t know who the guy is but isn t she cute they don t allow laptops in big nicks but not to worry there s plenty to read on the walls and the menu the menu is 4 years long and i don t know how it s possible to keep that much food fresh matter of fact i know it s not that s why i usually stick to pizza garlic bread and anything fried they have pretty good diner salads too big nicks is at 77th broadway on the upper west side 2175 broadway http www bignicksnyc com so onto making your own pizza like i said this is very personal make it your way you are in control remember but here is a basic dough recipe that works well this made me one large and one medium pizza i under cooked the medium pizza wrapped it in foil and a ziplock and froze it we ate it last night i just put it in t he oven at 400 for about 20 minutes and it was as good as the fresh one for fresh pizza i like to let it settle for about 15 30 minutes before i put it in the oven it gives the dough crust a chance to rise again the oven for a fresh pizza on the pan should be set at 450f for about 20 minutes depending on how well you like it cooked pizza dough 1 1 2 tsp active dry yeast 1 tsp sugar 3 4 c warm water 1 c cake flour 1 c 3 tbl all purpose flour 1 1 4 tsp kosher salt 2 tbl extra virgin olive oil in a bowl whisk yeast water sugar let stand till foamed about 5 min in food processor or kitchen aid with dough hook or by hand if necessary blend flours salt well whisk 1 tbl of olive oil into yeast with motor running slowly add yeast mix incorporating little by little mix until dough comes off the sides of the bowl it will be sticky coat the inside of the bowl with remaining olive oil dust your hands with flour and work the dough into a ball place in oiled bowl and let rise in warm place till doubled i turn my oven on low and set the bowl on stove top when risen cut dough in half roll the dough out until fairly thin and transfer to pizza pan or cookie sheet and shape it to the pan stretching it in the side careful not to rip the dough if you do just try and pinch it back together or re roll and stretch it doesn t have to be perfect especially if it s just for you have fun with the toppings this is where you come in but here are my suggestions and toppings 1 can contadina tomato sauce 1 small can of tomato paste or from the tube i mix these together to make a semi thick sauce i suppose you could use a spaghetti sauce too i shake dried oregano on top of the spread out sauce and some garlic powder hormel pepperoni jimmy dean loose sausage meat i lightly cook it first to cut the grease but you don t have to cheese this is probably the most important part i use the best cheese possible it s important to use whole milk mozzarella most grocery store mozzarella is part skim milk go to your deli where they have sliced meat they usually have mozzarella made with whole milk i also sprinkle on a little extra sharp cheddar in my opinion kraft cracker barrell extra sharp cheddar is the best tasting store bought cheese in your typical cheese section if you want to be really fancy go to a cheese shop where they have amazing selections and you can actually taste them bristol farms and whole foods are great for that before after now eat the hell out of it and now to set your mood my favorite comments leave a comment tags amy s big nicks california pizza kitchen casa bianca pizza cheese
