And while it’s a simple dump and program recipe, making a decent pizza dough can be tougher than it looks. But there are two things that can change that. First, use a bread machine to make the dough.

It’s Mercury Retrograde Again: A precautionary tale…

Oh crap! Not mercury retrograde. Yes, yes. You know the drill. Mercury will go retrograde in Virgo next Monday, August 5th, and everything from phones disconnecting to delayed flights will get blamed on Mercury retrograde. As they should. But, Mercury retrograde gets a bit of a bad wrap. Do a search online for do’s and don’t’s of a Mercury retrograde and you may be thinking that you should just huddle up at home for a little while. But you really can’t. The problem is that Mercury retrograde is common. In fact, Mercury goes retrograde about three or four times a …
