Macro Photography?



Is this macro-photography? Stumbled upon this rather cool pattern at a restaurant recently.

P.S. Crunch season with app stuff, so posts are gonna be slim for the next few days.

Pinsa Rossa in SF is a top tier Pinseria


Pinsa Rossa in SF is excellent. Their Pinsa's are perfectly baked with the right amount of hydration, perfect fermentation, and a process that seems to put craft over looks. The result is a light weight, digestable Pinsa that stays true to the Pinsa romana legacy. 10/10 would recommend.

P.S. Love how their Burrata came "injected" with Olive Oil. Fun touch.

Drowning in a sea of work

In what's a very odd turn of events, I find myself, over-worked, and exhausted from trying to find a proper job; all at the same time. I have so much to do, so little time and everything seems to be top priority right now. Tense few weeks.

Gas powered ovens are criminally underrated



Baked Pizza in a gas powered oven after 1.5 years yesterday and was blown away by the jump in quality from the Ooni Volt (the industry leader in electric ovens); the amount of moisture loss in an electric oven is insane. I've been putting peaches on the Pizza recently, and I put them yesterday too. Except the difference was day and night, because the oven was partially open, the pizza went in and came out in like 90 seconds, the Pizza was quality was so much better! The peaches actually tasted fresh, they felt they were part of the Pizza rather than something completely dried out. The same was true for every other topping in yesterday's pizzas.

We often mention about the heat in a gas powered oven, but it's also the fact that it doesn't significantly reduce moisture content that makes the Pizzas so much better.
