Made pizza for dinner tonight. Didn't go perfectly.

Inner critic voice: "You over-proofed the dough and didn't know you were out of parm reg, this won't be one to be proud of."

Inner compassionate voice: "It's fuckin' PIZZA. If it's cooked and not covered in cockroaches and feces, it'll be pretty good at worst. Relax, everything is fine."

My family: "There is not a restaurant in this city whose pizza is as good as yours."

Even my good self-talk isn't as kind me as my family is.

@middleclasstool mat mat mat did i tell you about my pizza oven mat its fkn great
@coriolisdave is it an outdoor one or an indoor one, is it wood or gas or electric TELL ME

@middleclasstool it's an outdoor one - ooni karu 12. Takes charcoal and/or wood, also has a gas adapter (which I don't have)

it's. fucking. great.

takes 15 minutes to heat up, uses piss-all fuel, and makes absolutely stunning pizza

if you're pumping them out it needs a bit of a break after the 5th one or so to heat up a bit, but it just keeps cranking away.

@coriolisdave ooh it pretty too

@middleclasstool yeah, and it's not very big - and it folds away too.

you deserve one, mat

@coriolisdave I deserve fancy folding ovens!

@middleclasstool you do! and your family deserves wood-fired pizza!

won't you think of your family, mat?

@coriolisdave this is an act of selflessness and service to others, is what this is.
@middleclasstool just imagine the look on their face the first time they taste a wood-fired smores pizza

@coriolisdave s'mores...pizza...

I gotta go see what the wife is doin

@middleclasstool you tell 'er i said y'all deserve it
