Recipe: Barbecue Chicken Pizza By Katie GoodmanAdapted from This Week for DinnerI love to make homemade pizza now that I have a pizza stone. A very, very hot oven and a pizza stone have been the only way I've been able to get the crust anywhere near our favorite local pizza joint: crispy on the bottom and tender inside.I preheat the oven to 550 degrees F (as hot as my oven will go) with the pizza stone inside and allow it to preheat for at least 45 minutes before I intend to bake the pizza. This helps get the stone nice and hot, so you can get that crispy crust.If you don't want to heat up the house, try putting the pizza stone on your grill. Preheat the grill to the same temperature (if you have a thermometer on your grill).Download the Recipe PDF Right click to save the PDF to your desktop.

Core77's Cardboard Christmas Core77's having a Cardboard Christmas contest: In the spirit of surviving the festivus season on a budget this year, we're calling on the Core77 Design Community to create the most inspiring, unexpected and fun cardboard ornaments and accessories for the home. Whether your entry is high-end or kitsch, functional or decorative, the only constraint is that it's made entirely from cardboard and can be replicated using home tools. The Challenge Your idea can be anything -- a simple hanging ornament, life-size animals, thematic tableware, modular tree systems -- even a ceremonial yurt. All construction techniques are welcome from an origami, pop-up, no-fasteners approach to objects that use rivets, glue guns and tape. You're free to use new or old cardboard, and entries that incorporate clever folding, joining and are resourceful in their material use will be favored. Deadline: December 15th, 2010 The Community Challenge platform is collaborative, we encourage you to share your ideas early, comment on the work of others and help evolve everyone's designs right up until the deadline. Bonus points for people who share their instructions! Prizes The top five entries will be selected entirely by the community and each winner will receive a $100 Hand-Eye Supply gift certificate.Read the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in Contests | Digg this! blog.craftzine.com |
