And even buffalo milk motz isn't that much "better" at 3X the
cost. With so many other great cheeses, why fresh motz? <boggle>

You sound like Cindy. I like chunks of fresh mozzarella spaced out on
my pizza, like the Italians intended.

I do?!?! I would have thought Cindy loved fresh motz. It's
opposite of blue cheeses.

Except that mozzarella-type cheeses were common in Southern Italy
1000 years earlier than pizza.

The wedding shower I was helping my neighbor prepare Saturday had tiny
mozzarella balls. They were skewered with tomatoes that had been marinated
in olive oil, herbs, and some spices. Rather tasty 'horses doers.'

Airline ground crew member killed by engine of a jet at San Antonio International Airport

Firefighters and police officers responded to the incident at around 10:25 p.m. Friday night.

SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio International Airport officials are investigating after the death of an airline ground crew member.

Firefighters and police officers responded to the incident at around 10:25 p.m. Friday night.

The NTSB said Saturday the worker went into the engine of a Delta Airlines jet.

"Delta Flight 1111 was taxiing to the gate, with one engine on at that time, and a worker was ingested into that engine
at 10:25 p.m," the NTSB said in a statement. "The NTSB has been in contact with Delta. They are in the information
gathering process at this point."

The flight had just arrived from Los Angeles at the time..."

That would be Caprese. What a waste of wooden skewers that is. One of
the women on our art festival committee is Italian and she had offered
to help with the food and made a whack of caprese. It was a big hit,
but I was not impressed the mozzaralla part of it. I know it is an
Italian thing, but I can think of a half dozen other non Italian cheeses
that would have been much better on those skewers.

You buy those at Costco in 2.2lb jugs and thread them onto
skewers. The marinade and tomatoes makes them tasty. But plain
fresh motz still sucks. Kinda like chicken breast...

"Horses Doers" has too many syllables, at least when I say it.

If this were Mexico they would definitely show footage of this on
their newscasts.

Ingested? And digested a split second later. He may have been
standing too close and just tippytoed and craned his neck to see
something afar or waved to a friend and... "schlllluuuup!!". He
must have been Sheldon-sized for a taxing engine to do that. What

I don't know where she bought these; they were very, very small mozza balls.
Even smaller than one of Whopper malted milk balls.

I buy Galbani moz sticks. I warm them up in my hand before removing the
packaging and eat them one strip of the mini-log at a time. Sometimes,
they needed salt in the batch. Sometimes, they don't strip from top to
bottom very well. Eaten that way, they're a fun food with surprises.
I suppose I could deep fry them, and maybe, that's what they're for.

Some reports are saying it was suicide, that he walked directly into the engine...

Katey Sagal's (Peg on 'Married With Children') father, director Boris Sagal, "died by propeller":

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Sagal

Boris Sagal (October 18, 1923 – May 22, 1981) was an American television and film director.


"Sagal was killed in an accident during production of the miniseries World War III, when he was partially decapitated by walking into the tail rotor blades of a helicopter in the parking lot of the Timberline Lodge in Oregon.An investigation revealed that he turned the wrong way after exiting the helicopter. He died five hours later in a Portland hospital..."

And WOW! I did not know he was married to famous dancer Marge Champion, who was formerly married to Gower Champion; they were a famous duo back in the day:

"Champion married director Boris Sagal in 1977. He died four years later on May 22, 1981 in a helicopter accident during the production of the miniseries World War III.She became stepmother to Boris' five children including Katey, Jean, Liz, and Joey.

Death:

Champion turned 100 on September 2, 2019. She died one year later on October 21, 2020, at her son's home in Los Angeles. She was 101..."

From the tomatoes and marinade. The motz just added the fat and
some texture. It has no taste, but contributes to the overall
flavor ("taste" is only one component of "flavor").

I haven't done that since I was a kid. I would put them in my
pocket to warm up (and sometimes find them in the dryer all
gooified).

Salt. Cheese needs salt to taste good. As does tofu.

And other cheeses are used on pizza in Italy. It's not all pizza
margherita.

You threw a fit about my "pizza stone", because it has a rim on it, and

Oh, and here's a convenient PostImg link to the picture of the pizza I

Steve has all the ailments known to Munchausen... I mean known to
mankind. It's a miracle he's still alive.

[dsi1]

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen was a pretty good movie. It's not the Terry Gilliam movie but the one made in 1943 in Germany during the war. The part where the Baron flips a light switch just blows my mind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUMFFP93DFE

[S Viemeister]

I didn't know there was a Munchausen movie - I know the stories from my
German classes in high school.

[dsi1]

The Nazis wanted to make a fantastical movie to rival the Wizard of Oz. It's in color using a process different from the Technicolor process which gives it a soft, dream-like look. It's a wonderful film but we don't get to see it much. Too much backstory, I guess.

[GM]

"The release of the Technicolor film The Wizard of Oz in the United States was a heavy influence for Goebbels. By 1940 the German research laboratory Agfa was producing its own version of colored film that had “caught up with the Americans in [color cinematography]” according to Goebbels’ diary...

Münchhausen was the third feature film made in Germany using the new Agfacolor negative-positive material...


"The film’s production began in 1941 with an initial budget of over 4.5 million Reichsmarks (ℛℳ) that increased to over 6.5 million ℛℳ, after Goebbels’ intentions to “surpass the special effects and color artistry” of Alexander Korda's Technicolor film The Thief of Bagdad. Josef von Báky looked to this film as well as Hollywood's productions of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Gone with the Wind for visual inspiration...

The film was released at a pivotal point in Nazi rule following the massive losses of the 6th Army at the Battle of Stalingrad and was an attempt at reinvigorating the German population. The film provided visual relief from the war and, as one of the few fantastical films produced by the Ministry of Propaganda, represented a rare opportunity for escapism..."
