    Cast Iron Pizza

    December 10, 2018 /

    We went all in with Kenji on this one:Foolproof Pan Pizza RecipeNew York-Style Pizza Sauce Recipe Actually, for the sauce, I added filtered fish sauce, tripled the amount of garlic, and used the good part of a rotting onion instead of going to the store to buy a fresh one, and it turned out really, really well. I tried using a cast iron Lodge pan and an aluminum baking pan, and the latter was predictably much inferior to the former because the crust stuck to it pretty badly. In Thailand, any cheese is expensive, and the one called for in the recipe is unavailable where we live, so we used…

    Solution for “Waiting to be Linked to a Dropbox Account” Error

    December 4, 2018 /

    It took me a long time to figure this out because the support documentation sucks. This is for the error where the desktop notification icon is gray and Dropbox won’t connect after you try and sign in. NOTE: This happened on a laptop running Windows 10 64-bit Anyways, try turning off your antivirus, check that Dropbox isn’t blocked in your firewall or connection settings, and run an advanced uninstall: How to run an advanced reinstall I’ve taken a screen capture of the page in case it gets lost:

    SPENDYGAMS – Scrabble Knockoff

    December 4, 2018 /

    The kids started playing Scrabble at school and wanted to practice, so I broke out one of the knockoff sets I found at Terminal 21 in Korat a few years ago in anticipation. Unfortunately, the tiles are too big for the spaces on the board and the whole thing is so cheaply made that it affects gameplay a bit. So I’ll probably buy a real board, or at least a better knockoff, in the near future.

    Road & Track published their first cool story online, maybe ever: The Glorious Madness of Japanese Dodge Van Racing If I were still in Japan, I might be into that… Different and kinda expensive, but not overly weird. Then again, I think about my homie that drove around a Suburban and was constantly getting stuck parking spaces, narrow streets, and once, even a car wash, and it might give me pause. Still… Those oversize Watas are pretty awesome. Check out the drifting from around 9:10!
