This is probably you when you're older.

 

this is me now, actually.

 

Oh yeah

 

Is breakfast as important as they say?

 

Personally, breakfast is very important. If I don't eat breakfast, I am starving by noon at the latest and have little to no energy after about 10am.

Nutritionally, you should eat a big breakfast, a smaller lunch, and an even smaller dinner. Most of your calories are going to be burned throughout the day, so it's best to fuel up early in the day. A healthy diet and exercise is important.

 

QFT

Also, a pet, like a dog, keeps one active.

 

f'real. I haven't been able to go to the gym because of Bear, but I still get my steps and activity goal on my Apple Watch met because of walks, play, and the dog park.

 

I am off keto, eating worse than ever, and losing more weight than I did on that stupid diet haha

It's just called "pizza"

 

Have you climbed any fourteener's in CO? If yes, which one was your favorite?

 

no.

• Bar pizza, also known as tavern pizza, is distinguished by a thin crust, almost cracker-like, and is cooked, or at least partly cooked, in a shallow pan for an oily crust. Cheese covers the entire pizza, including the crust, leaving a crispy edge where the cheese meets the pan or oven surface. Bar pizzas are usually served in a bar or pub and are usually small in size (around 10" in diameter). This style of pizza is popular in the Boston area, particularly the south shore, other parts of the northeast, and the Chicago area.[7]
• California-style pizza is distinguished by the use of non-traditional ingredients, especially varieties of fresh produce. Some typical California-style toppings include Thai-inspired chicken pizza with peanut sauce, bean sprouts, and shaved carrots, taco pizzas, and pizzas with chicken and barbecue sauce as toppings.

Chicago-style deep-dish pizza

• Chicago-style pizza is distinguished by a thick moist crust formed up the sides of a deep-dish pan and sauce as the last ingredient, added atop the cheese and toppings. Stuffed versions have two layers of crust with the sauce on top.[8][9][10]
• Detroit-style pizza is a square pizza similar to Sicilian-style pizza that has a thick deep-dish crisp crust and toppings such as pepperoni and olives, and is served with the marinara sauce on top. The square shape is the result of an early tradition of using metal trays originally meant to hold small parts in factories.
• Grandma pizza is a thin, square pizza, typically with cheese and tomatoes. It is reminiscent of pizzas cooked at home by Italian housewives without a pizza oven, and was popularized on Long Island.[11]
• Greek pizza is a variation popular in New England; its name comes from it being typical of the style of pizzerias owned by Greek immigrants. It has a thicker, chewier crust and is baked in a pan in the pizza oven, instead of directly on the bricks. Plain olive oil is a common part of the topping, as well as being liberally used to grease the pans and crisp the crust. A significantly different variation in other parts of the country includes using feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and Greek herbs such as oregano.
• New Haven-style pizza, also known as apizza (pronounced as "ah-beetz" in the local dialect), is popular in Connecticut. It has a thin crust that varies between chewy and tender, depending on the particular establishment. Apizza has a very dark, "scorched" crisp crust that offers a distinctive bitter flavor, which can be offset by the sweetness of tomatoes or other toppings. A "plain" pizza has tomato sauce and no cheese besides grated Romano cheese; mozzarella cheese is considered a topping.[12] New Haven-style pizza is traditionally cooked in coal-fired brick ovens.[13]

New York-style pizza

• New York-style pizza is a style originally developed in New York City by immigrants from Naples, Italy where pizza was created. It is often sold in generously sized, thin, and flexible slices. It is traditionally hand-tossed, moderately topped with southern Italian-style Marinara sauce, and liberally covered with cheese essentially amounting to a much larger version of the Neapolitan style. The slices are sometimes eaten folded in half, as its size and flexibility may otherwise make it unwieldy to eat by hand. This style of pizza tends to dominate the Northeastern states and is particularly popular in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Jumbo slices are particularly popular in Washington, D.C..

An example of Quad City style pizza

• Quad City-style pizza originates from the Quad Cities and is a thin crusted dough that incorporates a “spice mix” that is heavy on malt, which lends a toasted, nutty flavor. The smooth, thin sauce contains both red chili flakes and ground cayenne, and is more spicy than sweet. The sausage is a thick blanket of lean, fennel-flecked Italian sausage that is ground twice and spread from edge to edge.
• Sicilian pizza in the United States is typically a square pie with a thick crust.[14][15] It is derived from Sfinciuni, a thick crust variety from Sicily, and was introduced in the US by early Sicilian immigrants. Sicilian-style pizza is popular in Italian-American enclaves in the Northeast, Metro Detroit, and Portland, Oregon.[15]
• St. Louis-style pizza is a variant of thin crust popular around St. Louis and southern Illinois notable for its use of distinctive Provel cheese instead of (or, rarely, in addition to) mozzarella. Its crust is thin enough to become very crunchy in the oven, sometimes being compared to a cracker, and toppings are usually sliced instead of diced. Even though round, St. Louis style pies are always cut into small squares.
• Tomato pies, in several areas around the Northeast, especially Philadelphia and Utica, New York, refers to a square-cut thick-crust pizza topped with chunky tomato sauce and sprinkled with pecorino romano cheese, very similar to Sicilian sfinciuni.
• Old Forge-style pizza is a variety of pizza from Old Forge, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. It is square-shaped and typically has a thick crust. The sauce often has onions in it and is sometimes a bit sweetened. It also often has unorthodox cheese mixes including cheeses such as American and Cheddar.[16]
• Upside-down pizza, made with tomato sauce on top of the cheese.[17][18] Putting the cheese on the bottom prevents the tomato sauce from making the crust soggy, which can be a problem with thick-crust pizzas. However, thin-crust upside-down pizzas exist as well,[19] such as the Trenton tomato pie.

 

ne

new york style is the only one that counts

 

I have not yet. I am still getting acclimated to the altitude. I have gone on hikes but my body and red blood count is nowhere near where it should be in order to safely climb a 14'er. I have done Flatirons 1 &2 and Table Mesa to Bear Peak though and have been really good, moderately difficult hikes.

 

no, every style of pizza should be appreciated, loved, and consumed.

 

what about road pizza

 

Detroit and Chicago style 4ever

 

Is that when a girl feeds you pizza while you drive, sounds sexy

 

Why is this relegated to only American pizza?

 

because he is alt right

 

dylan's favorite type of pizza is definitely white pizza

 

@dylan what pizza related rules do you have? If there's a party how many slices should each person have?

 

unlimited slices. no ranch. no fork and knife. must fold new york style or similar style pizzas to eat it properly.

 

idk I pulled it from wikipedia, ask them

You're flying on a commercial airline on your way to a lovely vacation overseas. The destination is unimportant. Because you just moved, you were only able to afford a cheap coach ticket in a middle seat. Unfortunately, sitting to your left in the aisle seat is a woman with a screaming child and to your right in the window seat is a large gentleman engaged in a serious amount of manspreading. The injuries being done to your well-being are palpable and inescapable, assaulting all at once your ears, your personal space, and your general sense of how one should carry oneself in polite society.

Mid-flight, you hear an ungodly commotion coming from the front of the plane in first class. Flight attendants rush to assist in whatever is going on while the rest of the passengers in coach wonder what could be happening. Everyone is preoccupied solely with whatever is transpiring in first class, except for you, because all you can focus on are the interlopers on either side of you and how they are preventing you from enjoying your chosen in-flight entertainment (The Boss Baby: Extended Cut with commentary from Alec Baldwin).

Suddenly, cutting through the murmuring crowd, the screaming of the child to your left and the snoring of the inconsiderate man to your right, comes the voice of the pilot over the plane's intercom. "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen," the pilot says, calmly and conversationally, despite the commotion which appeared to be dying down but is still in progress, "It appears as though one of our first-class patrons has suffered a heart attack and, unfortunately, passed away. While this is of course a solemn and sad occasion, we have simply traveled too far over the ocean to turn back now and will have to continue our trip to its destination. That said, the deceased passenger was travelling alone and, with his dying breath, implored us to give his first-class seat to someone in coach. As a result, I will now draw a random seat number out of a hat and that passenger will receive a free upgrade."

The entirety of coach begins holding their breath in anticipation. You are especially hoping to be called, because you feel that you cannot take any more of the pain you're currently experiencing in your current seat. You even hope that, if not you, at least one of the people on either side of you is selected so that you can take their seat and have some space to yourself. After a few seconds, seconds that felt like a lifetime to the silent coach travelers (save the baby to your right, who is still shrieking like a banshee), the pilot calls out a number. Your number. You never win anything and, generally, have horrible luck so you could not be more thrilled to take the seat of the deceased first class passenger.

A flight attendant comes to your seat and escorts you to first class. The other first class travelers all eye you suspiciously, a mixture of disdain at having someone from coach amongst them and the lingering anxiety from having watched a man die in front of them showing on every face. You could care less what they think (although you note that staring is rude and resolve to perhaps give the entirety of first class a stern talking-to once the plane lands) and take your new seat. You immediately request food and drink befitting someone in first class and, once it is brought to you, enjoy it gladly. You even manage to finish your movie (which, again, was The Boss Baby: Extended Cut with commentary from Alec Baldwin).

You're just about to begin your next piece of in-flight entertainment (several episodes of the current season of The Big Bang Theory - you need to catch up!) when suddenly an explosion rocks the plane. It appears as though a flock of sea-birds has flown into the right engine of the plane! The pilot frantically tries to calm down the passengers over the intercom as chaos ensues, with people screaming, praying, fainting, and even trying to find others willing to..."pair up" with as the plane goes down. The pilot does his best to save as many people as he can, but as the plane crashes into the water, most of the passengers and crew die instantly. Luckily, your new first-class seat was near one of the plane doors with an emergency handle. You pull it as water begins filling the cabin and manage to escape. All other passengers go down with the plane.

As you float in the water, stunned at what just happened, and at having survived it, you remember that sea-birds in the air must mean land is nearby. Sure enough, as you look around, you see an island a few kilometers away. You swim for it like your life depends on it and reach it safely.

Over the next three years, you learn to live on the island. The sea-bird population provides you with both meat and eggs, you learn to fish, and coconuts are plentiful. You also build a gigantic bonfire, to light just in case a ship or plane passes you by. Unfortunately, with nothing else to do, you come to rely on a group of imaginary friends personified by faces you've carved into palm trees with sharp rocks. You name them Derek, Kenneth, Anthony, Chris, Chris, Sanch, Justin, and Joe. You spend much of your time amongst them yelling about polite society and the rules therein.

One day, after about three years and four months on the island, you see a plane on the horizon, flying toward the island. You immediately rush to the bonfire and light it. Luckily, the pilot sees the fire, radios the nearest naval base, and a rescue ship is dispatched for you. Three days later, you're picked up and take somewhere to rest, eat, and bathe. Eventually, you return to your ancestral home in Missouri.

Back in Missouri, you learn that everyone on Chorus has been worried sick about you, and resolved to immediately give you a day to answer questions if you should ever return. The joy of everyone on Chorus is intense and you are given control of the AMA thread the very next day. You log on expecting to field a ton of questions on what happened to you over the course of the last year, however the first question you read, from your best friend Anthony, asks:

What's your ideal vacation destination and why?
