If you're a pizza lover, then you already know by now that there is no one pizza dough. Just like pizza toppings, pizza dough comes in many different varieties, from crispy to tender to crunchy to puffy. And the type of dough - as well as how you knead it - infinitely affects the resulting pizza creation.

It's hard to argue with the notion that wine and pasta are a winning combination. I mean, millions of Italians can't be wrong.
I have a thing for black foods, whether it's mysterious, lovely black garlic (the secret to its color: fermentation) or adding charcoal powder with its reputed health benefits to cookies, cakes, and breads.
Look, I'm no food snob. I once dedicated an entire day to eating only deep-fried things (butter, Twinkies, Oreos, pickles) at the Minnesota State Fair. But even I draw the line at instant mashed potatoes. I mean, why bother? It's not that hard to make perfectly delicious and fluffy mashers yourself.
The idea of a no-churn ice cream seems like the ultimate dessert hack. But, in fact, this concept has been around for at least the past 100 years in what Italians call semifreddo.
Many lazy cooks skip rinsing off their grains before they cook 'em, but that's a big mistake for a few reasons. Some grains have coatings on them that need to be rinsed off to cook properly and taste good.
The Italians certainly know how to cook their shrimp. For this recipe, you will need: 1 pound shrimp, 1 stick butter, 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 1/2 tablespoons fresh parsley, 1/2 cup fresh basil, 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, 2 tablespoons fresh garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and Italian Parmesan breadcrumbs. Cook a delicious Parmesan and shrimp scampi.
I've never tried Mr. Pizza, which seems to be a Korean pizza chain of some sort? I see there's a location in Koreatown, which gets 3 and a half stars on Yelp. They have bulgogi pizza! That is truly something for Kate to try.
Hard to imagine such a thing exists, but the US Pizza Team is a group of freestyle, acrobatic, dough-tossing pizza makers with truly unreal talent. They represent America in Italy's annual Olympics of Pizza. Below, Nino Coniglio, owner of Brooklyn's Pizzeria del Corso and team member, performs in front of restaurant patrons and it's pretty insane (to say the least). Previously, Poor Italians, Can't Afford a Frisbee.
Yum, what's better than pasta? Put aside the store-bought, and try your hand at making fresh homemade pasta.
The art of eating leftover pizza. Some like it cold. Some even whip it up into a leftover pizza sandwich. Me, I like my pizza reheated.

Crashing a frat party would be the type of prank that the guys of Jackass could pull off, like no others. My idea would be taking a boring overdone prank and cranking it up a few notches, like a jackass prank on steriods. Fraternities at the University of Alabama are very serious about their parties. If you are not on the list then you have no chance of getting in. I am assuming that all school's greek systems are the same. That reason alone makes it a challenge. I am suggesting that they guy...
