pizza dough is actually not hard to make, and with a good pizza stone you can make awesome homemade pizza !

I don't love cooking but everything I eat now I cook because right now finances are very very tight. Last weekend I made 3 gallons of the heartiest tatstiest chicken soup for under $15. Also I make all my bread from scratch (w/ breadmaker) with a 25lb bag of flour from Sams for $4.50. These are my staples right now. Gotta do what ya gotta do.
 

Using your criteria, I do not cook. :eek: I know. . . . :eek: Hehehe! Well, I eat what's there, and there's usually a lot of non-junk food.

When there's nothing already made, though, and I'm feeling really hungry, I throw in different ingedrients--without regards to what it makes. I eat whatever comes out of it. :eek: Oddly enough, my siblings compliment my rarely made so-called food sometimes.

Cooking just isn't a pleasant experience to me. However, anytime I have to visit the kitchen to make some rubbish, I don't feel much of the pain anymore when it's time to clean. :eek:

Mmmmmm pizza!

I cook, but my list of goof-ups is longer than my list of smashing successes. :eek:

I make good peanut butter cookies. :)

Cooking is one of my favorite creative outlets. So Baffled, how do you get your pizza onto the stone? I use parchment paper and build the pizza onto it. It easily slides right onto the stone. No cornmeal mess or anything. The parchment paper takes the heat nicely. Best tip I have found in a while.
