He's So Lazy: Pizza Solutions

I heard poor Kirk's auto-pizza pleas and have come up with some options:


The quickest solution: PizzaHut ATM


Error free phone ordering: Jacent's Automatic Pizza Ordering System
Currently taking thousands of orders every day for Pizza Hut and Domino’s customers nationwide, OrderStream by Jacent Technologies gives pizzeria customers the option to place their order automatically, using everyday speech. Callers speak with a real, female human voice who’s always polite and never forgets to upsell every customer.


You'd have to get a bigger apartment for these: ALIMEC pizza topping line


BILWINCO – the new turbo topping technique


Not a good solution, since you still have to manually place the toppings: Breadman Deep Dish Pizza Maker PZ200


The cheap way out: Simpsons Talking Pizza Cutter

I'm so lazy - part 3

Ok Evelyn, yes, I'm lazy and I already OWN a Hot Diggity Dogger. You might think it's lame, but I know a few people who have them, and they love them. It's great. Put in 2 dogs and 2 rolls (potato rolls of course!) and slide the lever down like a regular toaster. Then go read your email or something, and in a few minutes, bingo, 2 toasted dogs & rolls. Who could ask for anything more? Well, I'm still looking for the automated pizza maker, does such a thing exist?

Peanut Butter Cookies


While visiting Dad yesterday, I made some Peanut butter cookies from a Paleolithic Betty Crocker cookbook - they came out great! I added chocolate chips, since Dad is such a Reeses junkie. We enjoyed them during an action movie film festival: Batman (with Christian Bale); The Italian Job and Boondock Saints.



Forget buying that nasty cookie dough from the supermarket - these take 5 minutes to mix and 10 minutes to bake!

If you can't read the greasy food-spattered page, here's the recipe:

Mix together 1/2 cup shortening (I use butter, it's healthier!) 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 egg

Sift together (though I rarely do) and stir in 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 t. baking powder, 3/4 t. baking soda, 1/4 t. salt

Chill dough (didn't do that either, who can wait?) Roll into balls size of large walnuts. Place 3" apart on lightly greased baking sheet (I did 1 inch, no greasing - why bother, these cookies lube themselves). Flatten with fork dipped in flour...crisscross. bake until set, not hard. Temp: 375 degrees, time: 10-12 minutes.
