Sunday Gravy with yeah right: yeah right phones one in

yeah right

/

, , , ,

Good morning and happy Sunday everyone!

I never thought it would happen to me.

I’m in need of kitchen-Viagra over here.

I simply wore my ass out the day this “menu” happened and lost the desire to return back to the kitchen.

It can happen.

I have a theory too.

For these last several months I’ve remained a Monday through Friday vegetarian. In order to stay on that track I’ve needed to cook my weekly vegetarian soup on Sundays. One of the soups – the Southwest style vegan soup it turns out – is a bit more time consuming to make. That’s because of the extra fire-roasting and dicing etc. I don’t run into this issue when making the other soups. However! It’s way too fucking tasty to give up so I’ll have to adapt.

I really do have another valid excuse for phoning this one in: This weekend is the weekend for the Former Missus Right’s memorial service and I will be in attendance in San Diego. In fact I will be driving down to San Diego Friday around noon and won’t be returning until Sunday morning. Probably around the time you are reading this I’ll be hauling ass home up the 5 to the 405 freeways before traffic becomes a screaming fucking nightmare.

See that line up there about driving down on Friday around noon? That’s the last possible reasonable time you can actually drive from LA to SD without losing what’s left of your damn mind. That drive is a fucking disaster on Saturdays. You DO NOT want to even try.

Since I do quite a bit of my writing and final edits on Fridays and won’t be able to do that, well, here we are.

Sometimes you just have to order a damn pizza.

There she is! That’s my go-to order for a pizza. The “PSM” or pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms.

This is most definitely NOT shame pizza.

I’ve got a baseline order anytime I go to a new restaurant. If it’s a Mexican restaurant I order their carnitas. This is something any quality Mexican restaurant NEEDS to get right. They lose me if they can’t. For Thai food I try the yellow curry and the Pad See Ew. Baseline stuff.

For a pizza place it’s that beauty. If you can’t make a “PSM” properly then you ain’t doing pizza the right goddamn way. Just that simple.

Now where did I acquire this sexy motherfucker you may be wondering?

From right here.

Pronounced “Boo-ono’s” this place is a San Pedro institution.

San Pedro – 6th St.

When I first brought the family up here early in 1992 it was important to me to start searching for the family pizza joint. I like to identify a family pizza joint, a family Mexican restaurant, a carneceria – if you’re in the Southwest – and a walkable liquor/convenience store. If you’ve ever moved to a new town you know how this works.

We discovered the pizza place pretty early in the search and it is still, to this day, the best in town.

Shit man, any of our SoCal DFO folks feel like taking the Pepsi-fucking-challenge with pizza joints I nominate this one right here.

Just look at the side of the box, man!

They speak TRUTH! I fucking love this place.

They also make a specialty pizza, check this out: “PizzAndrea – 
Mozzarella with marinated chicken breast strips sauteed with garlic, onions, mushrooms and white wine. Topped with olives and feta cheese.”

Oh yeah. It’s in the rotation.

There’s a reason why they’re still around since 1965!

Since I took the easy way out for Sunday Gravy today I figured I could give all of you a simple task. Place a link down there in the comments to your go-to local pizza joint. Also give us a description of your favorite order from them. If you can get a photo of the pie that’s super fucking cool too.

I’ll be back next week with real recipes and shit. Don’t be stressin’.

Now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got to pack.

Be well and stay safe everyone.

Have a good Sunday and I’ll see you next time.

PEACE!

New Park Pizza in Howard Beach in Queens;

And Whit’s End, Rockaway Beach, Queens.

Will also add having had a kid go to school in Massholia and stuck driving for hours on I95 , Frank Pepe in New Haven Ct is a great place a lot like Totonno’s.

Handler: [looks at collective bargaining agreement] “Son of a bitch!” [regains composure] “Ok, fine. You’re going to follow him wherever he goes.”

Pretend Man City have now gone 18 matches without allowing a solitary soccer point (in Shempions League, spanning 15 months of play). We’ve drawn a few, but they was all nil-nil.

I remember Herbert’s throw to tie the game against the Raiders in the final game of the regular season (WHICH THE RAIDERS WENT ON TO WIN IN OVERTIME THUS CEMENTING MY FANHOOD FOR LIFE) and the coverage wasn’t terrible, the DB even got a hand on the ball; Herbert just threw it so perfectly (and hard) that it couldn’t be stopped.

And he got the safety to bite on the outside guy. The best are the ones who can look a DB where they want all while watching the play they want to open up. I would be excited to be a chargers fan this year

Good gravy do I love pizza. Good topic. I go for a pineapple jalapeño black olive usually. I forgot how to paste links right but https://www.dunnenzies.com/ is my place. They’ve got a good one with chicken bacon tomato and avocado aioli but also great for a standard pepperoni or margherita. Otherwise it’s Hansen’s https://www.kelownapizza.ca/ Fugazetta. Some sort of Argentinian idea with garlic, onion, chorizo and provolone. Also https://www.rockymountainflatbread.ca/locations/canmore/ with their farmers market pizza. Goat cheese and squash or whatever’s in season.
Damn I need pizza

2
yeah right

I’m intrigued by the jalapeno, pineapple black olive idea. You get your salt from the olives, tang and bite from the jalapeno and sweet from the pineapple.

My old place in El Segundo that closed in the pandemic had a pizza with roasted red peppers, house made sausage and house made ricotta. I could do savage things to that pie.

2
BC Dick

That sounds like a pie I would order, for sure. House made ricotta is all I need to see.
That’s why I like it. Salt, heat, sweet, and cheese for fat. Good texture, too.

2
yeah right

Not controversial at all. That’s a damn solid pizza.

I love me a nice Hawaiian pizza. Anyone who doesn’t is missing a vital part of their flavourinoids.

Did you ever try Davenport Pizza Works later called Dudley’s? I think they’re closed now since Mr. Dudley passed away. My favorite QC pizza place. Bonus points because it was super close to where we lived in Davenport. Usually a 45 minute wait to get your order but dammit it was worth the wait.

Yeah, I mean, drag queen story hours are not a threat, either (you can always just, you know, not take your kids to one), but that doesn’t stop the fearmongering.

0
BC Dick

Would you be opposed to story time with conversion therapy preachers? I would be, but also to the drag stuff (aka woman face). They do it right in the public schools (might be mistaken) but I think it’s best to just not have sex of any preference taught in school. Focus on teaching the fundamental skills like reading, math, etc. any time you bring these things in it gets political and I don’t think school is the place for that.

0
Dunstan

Unless I’m mistaken, all of these story time events are extracurricular. Nobody’s kids are being forced to sit through them. Tax dollars are not being spend on them, except in the sense that public buildings are sometimes used for them — but public schools and libraries loan out their spaces for all sorts of groups that you or I might not approve of.

You don’t want your kids hearing a story from someone in drag, DON’T SEND THEM. If the neighbor’s kids go, it’s NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS.

And someone in drag reading children’s stories is not “teaching sex.” Do you think that the people dressed as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck at Disneyland are “teaching sex” because furries exist?

3
BC Dick

Well if it’s all optional then there’s no issue. Don’t send your kids if you don’t want but if people do they are free to it.
I don’t think they’re teaching sex but the drag thing has some real sexuality connotations. No? Changing genders via clothing means something. If not, why not just read the story as their non-drag self.

> Would you be opposed to story time with conversion therapy preachers?

If they were preaching about sexuality, absolutely. As it is, Christian (and other religions’) preachers spend TONS of time with children, bringing stories to life. Drag queen story hours are the same thing, just that the storyteller is wearing fancier clothing. If drag queens were preaching about how awesome it is to have gay sex (assuming the drag queen in question was gay; not all of them are) I’d have a problem with it, but that’s not what’s happening, and it’s horseshit to pretend otherwise.

2
BC Dick

No you’re right there for sure. I was thinking this was brought into schools so it should be treated as religion but apparently it’s all voluntary.

0
ballsofsteelandfury

The point, though, is that these people, as storytellers, are authority figures and are meant to be respected. It doesn’t matter what they talk about, it’s the position they are in.

If a person of a type that you don’t agree with or respect is put in that position, you won’t want that to happen. It could be someone as universally reviled as a convicted sex offender.

I still say that if it’s optional, it’s a moot point, but I could see the issue some people would have with it.

1
Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I hate getting serious for a second but as a diagnosed nutball, people need to make an effort to interact with those who may be going off the deep end with this stuff. Republicans don’t hold a monopoly on producing severely isolated people whose only interaction is either the internet or cable TV. They always existed but the pandemic made things palpably worse.

Just be honest with those you know/love and listen.

Those are bad elements but there are people like that on both ends of the political spectrum. Intolerance can lead to violence no matter your beliefs.
Labelling all a republicans as bas as if they are proud boys doesn’t benefit anyone. If I were American I couldn’t vote Democrat and support their obsession with identity and victimhood. Also couldn’t vote republican if they have an unhinged reality tv star or a firebrand social conservative leading the show.

Got it. Both sides are equally bad. But one side, when they finally got the opportunity, stripped women of ownership of their bodies.

2
BC Dick

They only put the laws back in the hands of the elected rather than the appointed. I don’t like that it happened but this is the way democracy works. Sometimes the people want things that aren’t what you want or even what seems reasonable.
There’s no right answer to any of this. If you believe life begins at conception, either because of religion or just a plain old belief then it becomes a question of competing rights. If the unborn are people then they have rights and need to be defended as they the most vulnerable members of society. The woman also has rights. I go with pro choice because I think it has the better outcomes but I can’t condemn someone for believing otherwise.

The Republican Boogeyman is not an invention, it just denied women ownership of their own bodies.

2
BC Dick

Or it gave rights to the unborn people. This isn’t as obvious as people like to make it. If you believe life begins at conception then it’s not just the woman’s rights, it’s the person inside her’s rights as well.
I’m fully supportive of abortion rights. People have been getting rid of unwanted babies since babies were invented. Just because your opinion is that life starts at a different time doesn’t make other opinions bad or monstrous or stupid. I hope all those states vote in people who will ensure access to abortion.

And not even before then, really.

BC Dick makes a legitimate point that there are always going to be issues where people disagree, and “you do your thing, I’ll do mine” is not always an acceptable option because one side believes that there are nonconsenting parties being harmed.

But my sympathy for this argument in the context of abortion is limited because pro-lifers almost never act like they actually believe the things they say. To be clear, I don’t mean that they should be murdering doctors to prevent “murders” of embryos — it’s logically consistent to say that keeping law and order and avoiding violence is more important. But every time you ask “pro-lifers” to do pretty much anything to prevent abortions other than ban them, they say no.

Comprehensive sex education and easily available effective birth control to reduce unwanted pregnancies and therefore abortions? Oh no, good heavens, that might encourage more people to have sex, and that’s not a price we’re willing to pay to save fetal life.

Decent pre-natal and post-natal care for those who can’t afford it? Oh no, good heavens, that’s socialism, and my taxes might get raised, and that’s not a price I’m willing to pay to save fetal life.

I’m sure that pro-lifers really believe that their position is that abortion is murder of a human life. If lie detectors actually worked instead of being quasi-scientific bullshit, almost all of them could no doubt pass one on that point. But looking at their “revealed preferences” in terms of what they’re actually willing to do so “prevent murder,” it sure looks like “keeping the sluts in line” is the real motivator lurking under the surface.

4
ballsofsteelandfury

I don’t think they care about “sluts”. I’ve always maintained that most of the world’s problems are class-based, not race or otherwise.

Look at it this way: The rich don’t like the poors. The poors make bad decisions (such as getting pregnant without wanting to) that tend to keep them poor. That works for the rich hence banning easy and inexpensive abortion. If the rich have an unwanted pregnancy, they can afford an abortion anywhere.

On the other hand, comprehensive and preventative health care only keeps the poors around and empowers them. The rich can’t have that. Plus, they don’t want to pay for it (hence the cries of socialism). So, they oppose those things.

The rich use messaging (religion) to get the dumb poors to agree with them and act against their own best interest.

Lather, Rinse,and Repeat.

Yeah, those are factors, too. I think it overlaps and is consistent with my explanation — MY abortion (or my wife/daughter/mistress’s) is ok because I/she is not a dirty slut, just someone who made a mistake or was unlucky.

People who work at abortion clinics can tell you stories about seeing some of the protestors who scream at them about being murderers show up as patients. And in many cases, they’re back out on the protest lines a few weeks later.

4
BC Dick

The protesters forcing their beliefs on others is a real issue. They’re unwilling to consider opposing views and laws regardless of their legitimacy. In a country ruled by law and not scripture one must be willing to accept the will of the people.
Like capital punishment – If it’s ok for the state to kill if they have a good reason, any good reason becomes an excuse to kill. I don’t think the state should have that power. To kill is wrong and to force birth is wrong. I’m just glad I’m a man so the only time I’m in an abortion clinic is to meet vulnerable chicks on the rebound.

My favoUrite pizza is the flat bread pizza made at home as layed out by this very column.
My kids are stoopid picky eaters, and my wife doesn’t like tomato sauce, so any thing with sauce and maybe a topping is a win for me lately.
If up to me, I’d get Pizza Nova as a chain pizza as its pretty good. The chain I really like is Pizzaiolo but there’s not one near me. When going into the office was still a thing, they would order from there.

It was an off-duty cop, so he probably just mistook the woman for his wife.

There are 3 others closer to the house, all good. But this one, about a mile away has the best wood burning (here its “legnio” or second tier) brick oven, thin crust kick ass pizza. My go to pizza is prosciutto salami (ham and pepperoni). We have gone here for over 20 years, they delivered during the Covid lock downs, and we tipped them well for it.

From your posts yesterday it sounds like your memorial to your ex wife got a bit complicated. The best laid plans thing. But you stepped up and represented. Well done my friend, I trust she is, and was yesterday, smiling down on you. The pizza looks good, I like me a good salami, salsiccia & funghi too. Food of the Gods right there Buddy. Are you guys able to get a wood burning brick oven pizza there or is that a health department pipe dream?

yeah right

There are some wood fired places around. This one is a charcoal oven and it produces a nice smoky element that you really notice in the crust.

My other favorite place in El Segundo didn’t survive the pandemic which is horrible because the only way to really experience their pie was in person and immediately served. It didn’t transport well so delivery was not effective.

Cant beat the taste. Done right the process is just as clean too. Glad that option is there. Reason I mentioned it is when my Godfather was over here he really enjoyed watching them make a pizza and certainly loved the taste. But he told me (he was a cook) many US codes would never allow it.

There are a few places around that do Napoli-style pizza and are certified as legitimate by an organization in Italy. Yes, they use woof-fired ovens.

There is one in Pasadena:
